Hi guys, we all know the dangers of the evil SWER type powerlines across
our wide brown land. As an idea for discussion, Is there a database
available on these lines and if so, could it be fed through into Seeyou
or Winpilot to warn when looking for outlanding sites?
If there is not a
I think you will find that any database is held by the electricity
distributor in the area, and won't necessarily be compatible with the
database held by an adjoining supplier.
Good luck ;-)

Unfortunately no. The reason SWER is such an issue, is that there is
no database.
The reason for this is that they are private - not infrastructure.
If there was a database (and there is for mains power lines etc) then
it could be installed into FLARM - which is what they do in Europe.

Instead of looking at your PDA when outlanding, a better idea would be

On a serious note though - if for example you are flying in the
hills, see two valleys with small paddocks, but you are still high,

And Also
Don't forget all of these power lines were built in the pre computer
days (let alone pre GPS) so location data may exist only on paper. Or
(since the general downsizing of the industry over the last 15 years)
it may have been lost and no meaningful location data of any kind may
exist in
So who is the widow
going to sue when the information is wrong, and the pilot is decapitated when
fiddling with his PDA on approach into a wire free field?

...Just got the replies by Scott and Derek, sorry, SWER wires are private? Huh? Once you hit the first pole on your own property, the wire and poles to your house are yours.You are required to maintain them.Of course you still need an authorised electrician to do it - just like you do wiring in

There are _no_ private SWER lines in SA. The utility owns the SWER line up to the transformer pole at the house, the transformer, the LV feed into the house and the meter. (There are tens of thousands of kilometres of SWER in SA) That might be true, but there are non SWER lines - ie: No
