Advice needed from the Jhb/Pretoria crowd, please?

Hello All!

My long-dormant SA licence will finally lapse completely toward the end of the year unless I finally get my ducks in a row and go and write Air Law before I need to go and sit all the exams again

It's been a while - any pointers on which Training Facility in the Jhb area is best suited to get me through this toetsie?

Appreciate any suggestions

Regards,

Well, as ground schools go, theres CFA and Avex at Grand Central. I know a few guys who are sitting ground schools there now, and they say they're pretty good. Im sure you dont necessarily have to pay for all 8, just the one you need to.

Hope that helps

Doodle, I'm in the same boat.

Flying for a 121 carrier in the states, and I believe pro checks can be used in lieu of doing the flight test in SA. Need logbook certified, medical updated etc.

Seem to remember seeing on here that there was a lady previously employed by the CAA that was in business helping people with this process. Anybody know who, and have contact details?

I swear, if I have to re-write those f@cking atp exams I will be delivering pizzas!

Hi Nomoneynowek,

Yes, correct, at least I was able to do so in the past flying in Europe. Sim-ride sufficed. Problem is that I let it slip because I once did not have the correct documents with me, and this quickly became 5 years ago. If I don't move quickly and write Air Law I'll have to re-write ALL exams (I don't care what the "it's just a lucky-packet-licence" brigade of ignorants say, I still maintain that the South African licence was harder to pass than the JAA!)
