IR
I am currently doing a PPL with the Cape Aero Club based at CT International Airport.
I have a good instructor but they don't have many a/c which frustrates me a bit. I am enjoying training at CT International - you fly in controlled airspace from your very first flight which obviously improves confidence levels. It's also quite interesting and good fun taxiing a C152 behind a 747
Down side is that you do spend a few extra minutes sat on the ground which is inevitable.
Interestingly enough if you already have 40 hours of a JAR-PPL I think you would have to finish at a school in a JAR country following that syllabus.
Obviously if you are going the JAR modular (to ATPL)route then coming to SA, doing a short conversion and then building the hours will save both time and money as well as providing you with some interesting flying experience, particularly at hot and high altitudes should you go up country.
