PPL Conversion, Pandalet
Pandalet,
Does anyone have any first-hand experience of JAA to SA license conversions? What is actually involved, and how long is the process likely to take? Obviously, if there is a 2 month delay between taking a flight test and getting the requisite paperwork, it's probably not something I'd be able to do at the beginning of a 2-week holiday that involves self-flying in week 2...
Ive just been to Port elizabeth and converted my FAA ppl to the South African CAA. Validation paper work takes about week to week and half. All you need to do is PPL airlaw and i did a pre solo exam that the school had. R44 prob works out about £250 hr with instructor which is still £150 cheaper than in uk. Look up helicopter charter and training, they have plenty R44's that could probably do good deal on!
hope this helps
Dave
