Hi all,
I am hoping to gain a much needed, simplified explanation on how to convert a SACAA PPL to an EASA PPL. I ask because I am a UK citizen with family in SA and have my heart set on getting a PPL at flight training centre, George, South Africa. So far I have been bashing my head on walls searching PPRUNE, AV and the very confusing CAA website. I have picked up snippets of information here and there but no explanation that has clarified the process.
so:
1) Will I be able to fly in the UK with JUST the SACAA PPL?
2) What is the process for converting a SACAA to EASA PPL?
3) How long does the process take?
4) How much will the conversion cost once I return to the UK? (the PPL will already be in the region of £5K)
If it helps here is the link to the course I want to do:
Private Pilots Licence | Flight Training South Africa Pilot Training Garden Route
Hoping the experts of PPRUNE will have some experience with this, any info you could provide would be hugely appreciated!
