Well Henley Air surely is one of the better flying schools in SA. The people treat you as a proffesional and their approach to the flying industry is proffesional and mature. They also operate as a close family. Awesome place to go to for training seeing that Rand airport is at 5483ft you start with limited power operations from day one. Teaches you alot of respect for the R22.
Startlite Aviation has now also secured the contrat for training the military students for the South African Airforce. This is because the SAAF does not have a abanitio Helicopter trainer anymore after the ALO 3 was phased out of service. From what I hear, the holiday in Durban is seriously interfering with their studies. Apparently struggled to pass their exams on a PPL level.
What next????
I recon for proffesional treatment and having your calls returned at least, the better options at Virginia is NAC and then JNC helicopters.
