Summary
Military controlled airspace, with high military aircraft activity - SACAA Part 101 applies - FPV pilots should avoid active training areas
Air Force Base Langebaanweg (FALW) is a South African Air Force military airfield located on the West Coast near Langebaan in the Western Cape. The airspace is frequently used for military flight training, formation flying, aerobatics, and low-level aviation operations, making it a sensitive and high-risk area for drone and FPV activities. Drone operators should avoid operating within the CTR without prior authorization and should maintain extreme situational awareness due to intensive manned aircraft activity.
