Your Airstrip

 

Protect us with a safe well deserved airstrip.

 

  • If possible, position the strip into prevailing wind and towards treatment area or highest site available.
  • Airstrip should be within 3 kilometres of the treatment area to avoid a surcharge.
  • Airstrip should be accessible from the road for transport to deliver the product to be used. ( where possible, avoid using the strip area for vehicle access).
  • A large grader should be used to smooth the strip as usually tractor implements are unable to make such a surface economically.
  • Airstrip should be made or re surfaced in autumn to allow establishment of selected grasses and settling.
  • To test the airstrip surface, drive a car at 80 – 90 kph – there should be no pitching and the surface should feel as smooth as driving down the freeway.
  • Cut grass to less than 10 cm on airstrip prior to use (Long grass creates a fire hazard and reduces acceleration for take-off).
  • Consult us for inspection of selected sites before proceeding with airstrip construction.
  • Regulations do not permit the carriage of Passengers.
