I'd be pleased to hear from anyone who has been and trained for a PPL or CPL in either South Africa or Australia. I have a fw licence but keen to do the heli training. I was thinking of doing a SA PPL H first to test the water and then maybe go back and do the CPL H with a view to converting it to a UK (JAA) licence. Does anyone have any experience of this, how good are the schools and how straightforward is ti to convert on my return to the UK.
