Irish-pilot
Im new on this site.But your posting caught my eye.I went to south africa a few years ago to do some flying more as a hobby.
I booked time with this school.weather was bad the week I got to George.The locals say its four seasons in one day down there.But it gave me time to see what the operation was like.The aircraft are badly maintained.Always got little but important things breaking all the time.I check caa reports for accidents now and again and that place has serious health and safety issues.Students warned me at the time to be careful.They were also terrified I would say something back to the owner.Apparently if there disatisied and are caught giving their opinions to other students he would mess them around further in their training.Getting instructors to drag out dual hours,not leaving them fly for paid time, all Kind of weird thing going on down there.Sorry to hear you had a bad time obviously the owner
is still up to his tricks.Glad I legged it when I had a chance.
Best of luck
