JAR schools in RSA
As Far as I'm aware there are no others, that is why FTC don't care as much as they should.
Check with the CAA at Gatwick, they have a publication showing all the CAA JAR approved schools doing different levels of training, may be on their website. Using these schools you will receive a UK CAA JAR licence. FTC are there.
If you want to do just a PPL, you could do an SA PPL & then convert if you want, there is a group, mentioned in the Africa forum, of SA PPLs flying in the UK.
If you want to just hour build, you could go to any school & get an SA validation, you even need this through FTC to fly in RSA.
If you want to do commercial training I'm afraid FTC is the only option, sad but true at present.
However I heard at Gatwick today that 43 are going for approval, hope so as they have a very good rep.
Good luck in your quest.
