Dear Alby,
It's easy
SA PPL with less than 100 hours
+ JAR Class 2 Med
+ All 7 PPL Exams
+ JAR PPL Skills test
Forms JAR02 and FCL508, Logbook, Med, SA PPL and £143 to CAA
= JAR PPL(A)
Note - if more than 100 hours only Air Law and Human Performance needed.
You can use your SA PPL in the UK whilst the SEP rating and Medical remain valid if you wish to get up to the 100 hour mark. it's an ICAO Licence and that is fine for hiring G-Reg A/C without even converting it.
However if you go to FTC South Africa you can do a JAR PPL out there.
NOW WILL SOMEONE ANSWER MY GYROPLANE ENQUIRY!!!!
Wibbly P
