Credible flying schools around Johannesburg

Advise on credible flying schools around Johannesburg

Hi all,

I'll be returning to South Africa, my country of birth in Feb to fulfill a life long dream of potentially becoming a pilot. I've worked hard to save up the money but like everyone I'm looking for "value for money" PPL training.

So many schools, I've run off the road a bit. A few questions:

1. I've noticed that the prestigious schools like 43airschool, George, Lanseria are all about R20 000 more expensive than your zero four flight school, RFA etc ......not sure why. All I'm looking to do as a start is my PPL, thereafter my CPL, depending on resources, time constraints etc....any thoughts most appreciated.

2. I read that potentials employers tend to prefer intergrated training over modular ? Any truth behind this ?

I would appreciate any advise but I would say my budget would be around R60 000 for a full-time PPL ( excluding accommodation), thereafter its back to work to save up some more money for a potential CPL.


Thanking everyone in advance for your help !!
