Welcome to Hoedspruit Civil Airfield, a gateway to some of the most beautiful landscapes and wildlife South Africa has to offer. As a privately-owned facility surrounded by Wildlife Estates and protected areas, we ask for your cooperation to maintain the serenity of our unique environment. Please observe the following guidelines during your visit:
By complying with these guidelines, you help us sustain the balance between aviation and nature conservation. Should you require any further details or have questions about local procedures, do not hesitate to reach out to our airfield operations team admin@hoedspruitcivil.co.za
Exercise good airmanship at all times. Avoid overflying the Wildlife Estates and residential areas during your approach and departure to minimize disturbance to the local community and wildlife habitats.
Strictly refrain from overflying protected areas. Non-compliance could result in formal complaints and potential legal action. Your cooperation is essential in preserving the integrity of these environmental sanctuaries.
Due to the proximity to natural habitats, be vigilant for wildlife activity during all phases of flight, particularly takeoff and landing.
Be mindful of aircraft noise. Extra consideration should be given in the early morning hours and throughout Sundays. We strive to be good neighbors and keeping noise to a minimum is a critical part of this effort
When Hoedspruit Approach(military) is unmanned, you are required to strictly adhere to the unmanned joining procedures. Familiarize yourself with these procedures in advance to ensure a safe and compliant operation.
