As the airfield is unmanned standard procedures need to be following in that visiting aircraft must join overhead at 2000 feet AGL and all radio calls must be addressed to “Uitenhage Traffic’. The radio frequency to use is the same as that of the general flying area, 124.2MHz.

The standard circuits for runways 16 and 26 are left-hand and for 08 and 34 right-hand. The airfield is located on a small plateau and extra care must be taken for wind down-draft with all runways, and especially 26L, 26R and 16L, as there may be downdrafts during the final approach.
