@ lilflyboy - agreed to all of the above. Just charge the rate of an initial issue CPL for the validation and there you go...at the same time as shafting anybody who tries to change it
Still begs the question though, can a training organisation still survive on 20-30 PPL's a year (or even 50)?
With regards to Francistown as a training area I totally agree...added to that is a brand new airport and great runway costing MANY millions of Pula with little to no use! So it wouldnt be a bad idea to try increase utilisation especially because as you say, Maun is overrun at the moment.
Ive lived in both 'town' and 'cattle post'
...one longer than the other and I can tell you socially and entertainment-wise Francistown is pathetic in comparison to Maun! There is literally nothing to do and nowhere to go for a few drinks! Yes, It may be more developed with more infrastructure but living wise its not much different with most draw backs found in Maun here too. Im pretty indifferent about both of them...
