However if you are looking at botswana and Namibia , the conversion process is much simpilar , especialy in Bots where quite a few Aussie pilots fly.So i would recomend Bots.
Not that there is much work there either but at least its a better piont of contact and easier to convert
Check out the Maun guide here on pprune
Oh really...and you know this for a fact do you Dude?
Swizzy If you are looking for work then neither Nam or Bots is desirable, just like SA! It is almost impossible to get a work permit as a pilot in either country. Trust me, the headache involved in getting the work permit in any of these countries is unbearable.
Basically, don't waste your time in SA with anything less than ALOT of experience. Bots/Nam don't bother unless you have a good chunk of hours. Im not being negative, the truth just sucks
Either way, in Bots and Nam, if you do get work you'll be hired before you need to convert so you don't need to worry about that. Its simple anyway to convert an ICAO CPL to a Botswana CPL. It involves a simple Air Law exam and a flight test and that's it.
Don't mean to hijack the thread so moving on
I cannot see the reason for wanting to convert to a South African CPL other than for recreation! Good luck anyway
