I apologise and I stand corrected. However, in my defense, I was given the impression by a Cabair instructor that they had bought the airfield at Kissimee and that JAA training would be done there.

I was, at the time, looking for training elsewhere (still considering this option) but the information is very patchy. Many South African schools are advertising their training as "JAA/ATPL" but as I understand it, although the course is, in effect, the ICAO approved scheme that JAA has followed, these schools are not approved by JAA as yet.

Several schools I contacted in SA assured me that JAA approval would be granted, and I did get independent advice that SA was way ahead of anything here, but no official clarification has been given, and looking at it, I cannot see how they can gain approval.

I guess what I'm trying to say is - don't believe everything you read/hear.
