      Removed all road segments outside the boundary. De Punt, SACAA registration R160, is a De Beers diamond “mining” company. The “mining” process is using divers pumping diamond carrying gravel from the seabed to the shore to be screened for diamonds. The runway is of good gravel but the afternoon southwestern winds from the sea make it quite treacherous to land, so is the morning fog that can hang around for hours. The default XP elevation profile is not precise, and it is best to use O4XP tile ARC -32+018. This airstrip is one of the South African Airstrips/Aerodromes project for XP12. SimHeaven ready.
