Batavia to Matimba - MSFS 2024 - South African Tour - Leg 17

Описание: Matimba is a coal‑fired power station located near Ellisras (Lephalale) in South Africa’s Limpopo province, and it plays a significant role in the country’s electricity supply. Operated by Eskom, it is one of the largest dry‑cooled power stations in the world, designed this way to cope with the region’s limited water resources. The plant is closely linked to the nearby Grootegeluk coal mine, which provides its fuel through a dedicated conveyor system.

Built in the 1980s, Matimba has been central to supporting South Africa’s industrial and residential energy needs, though like many coal facilities, it faces ongoing scrutiny over environmental impact and the country’s long‑term transition toward cleaner energy sources.

For the 17th leg of this tour I depart Batavia in the BN2 Islander and head north eastwards to Matimba.

Take off roll - 1:40
Approach - 9:00
