I have just bought the King and ASA courseware for the FAA Com and have been finding it far more up to date with current aviation than the CAA curriculum. If you do your FAA exams, survive the 3 hour oral and flight test, then come back SA, pass Airlaw, and
pass the CAA flight test with a DE, what's the difference? Your flight skills are up to standard so why shouldn't you be able to do the job?
Who know's how long your SACAA com will be recognized in other countries, some university degrees from here are no longer valid outside SA.
