If you are joining KAF with an intention of having a place in KA, then you will be making a mistake. KAF has establish their own training school in Laikipia. Last year they bought 6 new G120TP specifically for training their cadets. So the cadets will be awarded with a flying certificate by the KCAA. No PPL, CPL or any rating. The intention is to have them in KAF for the rest of their flying careers and not gaining licenses and hours then shifting to KA. Besides, for those in KAF who have CPL, leaving is not an option. I have a friend who joined KAF in 2006, he has been trying to leave KAF to join KA since 2013. Resigning from KAF is only through death or retirement. This is because KAF has very few pilots with CPL so they protect the ones remaining in any way they can. They spent alot of money for their training and with the low military budget, they want to reduce spending on training of cadets as much as possible.To avoid resignation of pilots with CPL, they decided to have their own flying school.
So make a wise decision.
