Stop using Africa
Im just nearing the end of my CPL training in Oz and would love to go over to Africa for a year or so just for the great expirience but the only problem is that I don't know much about aviation down there apart from hearing about the bad safety record.Everyone I ask seems to have a bad conception about flying in Africa especially as a first job.Challenging flying, dodgy operators, bad storms, dodgy maintenance etc..
so I don't know what to think, it's confusing.
My REP
I would ask you to stay there and build up your hours, gain a bit of experience and then go to AFRICA, STOP USING AFRICA AS A STEPPING STONE AND THEN CRITISIZE ITS SAFETY. If all or 60% CPL graduates or new pilots fly in AFRICA first before going off to the west, where does it leaves the safety of African skies.
That will do nothing but just compromise the safety in the AFRICAN Skies.
