JB ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:27:15 PM PST US From: Bill Hamilton Subject: Re: Commander-List: Unmanned Frequencies in South Africa and Zimbabwe --> Commander-List message posted by: Bill Hamilton Andrew, The frequency to which I was referring ( 120.7 or 120.9, I will check ASAP) is a frequency agreed by a number of Southern African states and ICAO and published in addition to the ICAO standard upper and lower "pilot to pilot" frequencies. What I think you want are the frequencies that in common terminologies would be a "CTAF" frequency, Common Traffic Advisory Frequency, for use around uncontrolled airfields. I would not have those frequencies, because I have only being flying larger aircraft around in the area in recent years. Try a South African DCA web site, they might have the national AIP on line, or answer the question by email for both S.A. and further north. If I find them, I will let you know, an old mate of mine has/had an interesting non sched. operation out of Charles Prince, the "GA" airfield for "Salisbury" ( kid you not, the name still features prominently, in concrete, despite all the years since independence). You could also try some pilots working for MillionAir at Santa Monica, last time I was in Lanseria, SA, about 4 years ago, they had a big operation there. Cheers, Bill Hamiton.
