132 MHz and circuits to east of runway
Runway Surface
Very nicely tarred runway with turning circles at both thresholds.

All circuits to be done to the NORTH of the field.

Runway Usage
The runway is only 30ft/10m wide. When the grass is long around the runway, huge boulders are hidden. This runway is for the use of Sunset Shores residents.
***ONLY USE THIS RUNWAY IF YOU HAS CONFIDENT WITH SHORT, NARROW FIELD OPERATIONS***

Flight status
Please tell me why Kulula flights are not listed on the flight status page.
Flight information on this site
On Thursday morning, before the huge storm struck in mid afternoon, I looked at International Arrivals to see what the scheduled time for the afternoon SAA flight from Lilongwe was noted as. It said 3.30pm and LANDED. All day it said LANDED, which was very inaccurate. It was diverted to Durban at 3.30 as the pilot could not land the aircraft! The passengers eventually landed back in Johannesburg at 8pm.....I was too busy driving back to the Sandton Gautrain pick up point to be able to check to see if the site had been updated. If it had said DIVERTED at 4pm I would have saved myself a nightmare trip to Sandton and back.
Announcements
The announcements at the airport drive me crazy. The terrible use of their voices, the pitch of the voice, the pronouncements and the tone is absolutely terrible. I just can't understand why you don't coach your announcers properly. This is a world-class airport, except for the terrible annoucements. It seems as if they really don't care what they sounds like and if they have no proud of who they are or who they represent. Kindly note that I have made a sound rcording of this unslaught on our ears and will definitely bring it to the attention of whoever wants to hear it.
Delay at lanseria
This website info is so wrong. Useless as we have a huge delay and inform site is "as scheduled"

Flight Status

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @ptomblin: Not an answer to your question but some 'trivia' - On Lufthansa's Airbus 380 between Or Tambo and Frankfurt they consistently show the departure airport (Johannesburg) as Olifants River Bridge on their in flight maps !!!
King Air 200
Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me the length of the runway, and if a King Air 200 could land and depart from here. FABA.
Thanks

re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @Pivot: I believe in that case that David (the owner of this site) has been assigning arbitrary ids to airports that don't have an official designator.
re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @ptomblin:
I wrote the senior manager for aerodromes and facilities in South Africa and he says "Olifants is not a licensed aerodrome therefore I cannot confirm their locator". So there is no ICAO ident for this airport. Now what?
Apprentice
Im Daniel Phatshwane 24 years of age,I studied aircraft maintenance.I have lot of interest in this field engineering.Contact 079 554 2102,it would be an honour to work in this field or get an apprentice.
re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @ptomblin: From what I've been told Olifants never had an ICAO ident. FAOR was used for a now decommissioned airport. So I don't know what we can now use for Olifants.
re: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in So
Reply to @Pivot: Do you have a new ICAO id for this airport?

Reply to @flyboy737:
I sent in a request to have this changed on 03 Feb. 2013. Any idea how to update it?
New ICAO designator: FAOR
The ICAO designator for this airport is now FAOR - O.R Tambo International Airport (Previously FAJS). Thus: FAOR is now the designator for the largest airport in South/ern Africa.

re: arrival time of an international flight from Paris
Dear Anonymous flyer;
We are sorry that the information you were seeking was not as accurate as you desired. We will strive harder in the future to ensure your experience here is a delightful one. We are sorry that we could not meet your needs, even though washing your hog is not something we normally offer. Perhaps next time you require such as service, you will use a search website to find the proper service providers and not a website that has nothing to do with swine cleaning. Also, you might want to look at the entire page you were complaining about and notice at the bottom this sentence: "Flight information is provided by FlightStats, and is subject to the FlightStats Terms of Use." That might be a good spot to take your complaint.
Sincerely sarcastic,
Not-the-management.
arrival time of an international flight from Paris
Looking at the arrivals schedule I noticed that the air place I was looking for had been cancelled. No reason. Just cancelled. Phoned airport and it was hog wash. If you guys cant be accurate and get the correct information dont have the web site!
Comments from anonymous flyer
Firstly, the grammar and vocab shows what, not who, these comments are coming from.
Secondly, I have not seen any locks on our borders preventing this person from leaving and going to a country where everything is to its liking. Maybe it has not realized that it has a choice or maybe the logic is a bit too complex. I know this is really a stretch in tems of comprehension but where does this sense of entitlement come from? Maybe too much time spent with the striking mine and transport workers?
Main air force base
This is the main base of the SAAF.
re: Map to Swartkop Airport
Updated - thanks
re: Map to Swartkop Airport
It's actually an Air Force Base, not a civil airport. Google "Swartkop Air Force Base", "Swartkop AFB" or "AFB Swartkop".
re: This site
Oooi... we're so quick to complain.
As for catching a wakeup... it should be apparent for anyone with half a brain that this is not an official ACSA or OR Tambo site. For a site that is run and maintained by volunteers I think is it nice. Thanks guys... you provide much needed info which ACSA themselves does do so well. This site serves me well.
So if you want to get abusive, go to ...acsa.co.za/home.asp?pid=66 and do it there. Some-one gets paid to maintain that site.
Contact details
why are there no contact details for all these airports???? I dont get it!!!!

This site
The problem with the last person who posted, is clearly they have the lowest of low standards in fact no standards! I sit here at ORTIA awaitng news on an SA airways from Dubai (not a small airport, or an unknowns airline to ACSA or I hope SAA and guess what? Yip that's right no info....come on ACSA CATCH A WAKE UP!!!! To think you played a part in the World Cup. Got to go now, as I have a SMS from my wife to say she has landed.....buy the way she a a shit lot more reliable thanks ACSA. I HOPE THIS POST MAKES IT CLEAR HOW CRAP YOUR SERVICE IS...SORRY WHAT SERVICE...... At lease this helped to kill time! Just emagin if the flight was delayed how much more I could have added. Will log on again when I next pick someone up at the airport.....but do not expect improvement as I am sure these posts are NOT reviewed by Managment who Give a toss!

We have a meeting there on Wednesday, 14/3. Can you please give me directions from Hatfield Pretoria or N4?

GERAASBESOEDELING - VLIEGTUIG - CARLETONVILLE
Is die veld gesoneer vir 'n krematorium/begraafplaas?, dit is dan immers die gebruiksaanwending. Laat die selfmoordgevalle asb tog net probeer om op JSC se perseeltjie te val- vergemaklik die opruiming soveel.
PS: Verkieslik op teer, dan kan die oorblyfsels van dieselkes met 'n hoëdruk wasser afgespuit word!!!!!
Ek sien julle deel voor die voet "life memebrships" uit, is dit gewoonlik minder as 'n jaar??????.
O, voordat ek vergeet sal u so gaaf wees om my te voosien van die persoonlike besonderhede van julle mees aktiewe springers, sou graag lewensdekking op hulle wou neem met myself as die begunstigde!!! Ek was so spyt
dat ek die Tonto en die Rob Taylor boerpotte gemis het !! Sal nogal daarvan hou om van die kus af met julle te kommunikeer.
Groete tot volgende keer
