Dear Madam,
I am a spanish pilot with JAR-FCL licence (CPL, ATPL Frozen), and one of my dreams is to work in South Africa as a commercial pilot. So, I will be very grateful if you could indicate me which is the procedure I should follow in order to convert my JAR licence into a South African licence that will allow me to work and fly in your country. Thank you very much for your help and attention
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir,
We do not convert licences at all, in SA. You will either have to obtain a full SA licence or get a validation that will enable you to fly in SA.
In order to obtain a validation you have o comply with the following:
No validation will be considered if a prospective applicant has been refused a license in South Africa before, or if the applicant's SA license has been revoked in the past or if he/she has been refused a SA license in the past.
CONDITIONS OF ISSUE
A licence validated by the Commissioner will be subject to the limitations and restrictions of the validated licence and in addition, to such conditions and limitations as the Commissioner may deem necessary, but shall nevertheless not permit privileges in excess of the equivalent South African licence.
VALIDITY PERIOD
The validity period of a validation issued by the Commissioner shall be:
(a) 12 months calculated from the date of issue of such validation; or
(b) in accordance with the validity period of the licence issued by the foreign authority, whichever period is the lesser.
VALIDATION OF A LICENCE FOR PRIVATE FLYING ONLY
A validation of the above licence will have to be to the level of proficiency of a South African private pilot licence.
The Commissioner may further impose and endorse on the validation, such conditions as he deems necessary.
Any acceptable valid foreign licence may be validated by the Commissioner on application for private flying.
All applicants must:-
(a) pass a practical flight test with a grade I or II flight instructor who may also be required to assess the candidates cross-country, navigational proficiency and if necessary according to experience, conduct a cross-country flight test with the candidate; and
(b) comply with the requirements pertaining to radiotelephony certificates.
According to the level of experience of the candidate, he or she may be required to comply with some or all of the following conditions:
(a) pass an examination in Air Law at an approved training organisation.
The aforementioned validation does not include validation of an instrument rating.
If the validation is to include an instrument rating or in the case of those licences where the instrument rating is an integral part of the licence, the following requirements are to be complied with:
For issue of a validation for private flying including IF, the applicant must:-
(a) pass a practical flight test with a designated examiner, according to experience levels and as the Commissioner may decide.
and may have to:-
a) pass an examination in Air Law and Procedures with the CAA;
b) comply with the requirements pertaining to radiotelephony certificates.
