What will I achieve?  

At the end of your course, you will achieve your Private Pilots License, which will allow you to immediately hire an aircraft and fly on your own or take passengers.  

What if I need more than 45 hours?  

Most students can achieve the PPL in 45 hours (or very close to this). Your package has been carefully calculated to ensure that you can achieve your license in 45 hours, but if you go over this time you will need to pay for these hours. Additional hours will be payable direct to the flight school. They will cost approximately R650 per hour (an accurate quote will be given when booking your package).  

What do I need to do to fly in the UK ?  

Once you have a valid SA PPL , you will be able to convert this license to a UK , US or any other national PPL by doing the following:  

Take a flight test (standard all over the world before you can fly in a country which is different to the one you gained your license in)
Re-take your air law examination.  

This only applies in the UK if you have 100 hours or more logged. If you have less than this you will need to take all 7 exams. Exams cost approximately £20 each.

What will it cost me to convert back home?  

The cost will vary from country to country. However, a flight test is usually an hour or an hour and a half, at the cost of instructor plus aircraft hire, and tests are at the rate of your home country. You can then spread the cost of the flight test and written exams over the next 12 months or whenever you need to fly.  

When do courses run?  

We can accommodate clients on about 3 to 4 weeks notice. Courses start on Mondays.  

We also recommend getting your UK medical done in the UK before flying to South Africa, for the Cape Town package.
