Due to the inclement weather recently experienced in Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha, some of our ab-initio students got to experience flying out of Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, giving them some incredible exposure to controlled airspace operations and having to deal with air traffic control and scheduled airline traffic ✈️🛩👍🏻
