What to know locally in Gqeberha

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.
Gqeberha from the air
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.
