Parts, training & hire in Gqeberha: local notes
Fine sand from Kings Beach and Pollock Beach gets into motors and gimbals, so cleaning and bearing repairs are common jobs in Gqeberha workshops. Wind also means more crashes into the sea or the dunes, and pilots order spare props, arms and shells. Flight schools in the metro offer RPL training with practical flying away from the airport. Hire packages are asked for by event companies working at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
What people fly for in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is known as the Windy City, and drone pilots plan around it. Strong westerly and easterly winds sweep Algoa Bay, so calm early mornings are prized for filming Pollock Beach, Sardinia Bay and the dolphins and whales in the bay. The motor plants in Kariega and the Coega industrial zone bring steady inspection and survey work, while citrus growers in the Sundays River Valley ask for spraying and mapping. Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport sits inside the city near Walmer, which puts large parts of the suburbs within controlled airspace. Addo Elephant National Park lies to the north and is closed to recreational drones, as all national parks are.
Typical drone batteries requests in the area come from:
- Mines, plants and utilities: large enterprise packs and a fast charging station for inspection teams
- Estate agents and developers: spare batteries so an agent can shoot several listings in one day
- Farmers and growers: enough charged packs to fly the whole farm boundary in one morning
