Drones in Western Cape

The Western Cape has the country's busiest film and photography trade, and drones feature in many shoots, from adverts on the Atlantic seaboard to wine farm marketing in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Farmers use drones to map vineyards, orchards and Swartland wheat, and to spray where approvals allow. Saldanha Bay, Cape Town harbour and large building sites add inspection and survey jobs. Airspace needs care: Cape Town International, George Airport and the Ysterplaat, Langebaanweg and Overberg air force bases all matter, Koeberg power station is a key point, and Table Mountain National Park is closed to drones. The summer south-easter and winter cold fronts decide most flying days.
