| Q: |
How do I get the chemical to you? |
| A: |
Rural Air Work carries a large range of consignment stock for most of the local suppliers. The product used is to the litre so no need to worry about any part drums left over, as these are returned to stock. If you have your own chemical on farm, just talk to our staff when you are booking in your job. |
| Q: |
Do you need anyone in the field? |
| A: |
No, for the safety of all it is best to stay away from the field. The pilot will call on your UHF channel if there are any questions. All aircraft are GPS equipped. |
| Q: |
What about the empty containers? |
| A: |
All containers will be taken care of through Rural Air Work's drum muster approved recycling scheme. |
| Q: |
What are the requirements for an airstrip? |
| A: |
Ideally 1000m long by 40m wide with a good clear way at the end (i.e. no tall objects like power wires, trees etc). Preferably away from houses especially neighbours and a good, clean source of water. If you think you have an ideal spot please contact us. |
