New Tempe Airport
The airport comprises of two asphalt surface runways for normal usage as well as two glider strips and parallel taxi/micro-light landing strips next to the main runways. New Tempe Airport is situated in uncontrolled airspace and the Bloemfontein general flying area is within five minutes flying to the North. Unlike Johannesburg or other cities on the coast, Bloemfontein has excellent flying conditions and the weather (average 27 days raining per year) is very seldom responsible for flight cancellations. Bloemfontein has 12 hours of daylight available for training in the summer and 10 hours in winter.
