Please could someone from the UK help me?
I have just applied for a police certificate using a wa162 form and sent it to data protection department. Was i meant to apply for a basic disclousure scotland??
I have a disclousure Scotland but got it in 2004 is this still valid?

Setswana and Hungarian, there are intensive courses to learn them.
Even conversion tests are run in these languages.
Just kidding, sorry. English'll do just fine.

Ok everyone out there can get off their high horses when it comes to type ratings on single engine pistons.
All Africa is doing is formalizing what we do here already.
We call them check outs and although they aren’t required legally try renting a plane or insuring one you bought without a check out from an instructor or other competent pilot.
All Africa is doing is saying get a check out in that plane before you fly it.
Here if you bought a 206 and you had 1000TT hours but no 206 time the insurance company would want you to do 20-30 hours of transition training with an instructor.
So we are pretty much the same.

Along with what BHenderson said, I'm pretty sure the basic certificate from disclosure scotland is what you need - that's all I've got.
They don't have actually have an expiry date on them, because they're only technically true at the time of issue; you could commit a crime the day you get it and it would therefore be wrong! I think most places that ask for them (in the UK at least) want one that's been issued within the last year.
The form from the data protection people might help too, one thing for sure is that it can't hurt!

Anyone know what's heppened with Sefofane's plans for a flight training school? I know they've been facing severe economic headwinds but is there any likelihood of demand for instructors out there?

The old Maun thread says it all really, no not much hiring has happened or is likely to in the near future. Its all about having a bit of character and getting down there, I would not plan to all meet up and do the rounds together. Just get on with it, some of the questions on here make me think some of you are right mummies boys.
Have all paper work including the police clearance and go and get on with it as the same questions keep getting asked and answered. There is nothing more to gain from sitting in front of the PC wondering what will happen when you arrive on the Dark continent, just sort your flights out and go find out.

Hey lads! How are we all?
My name is Hugh, i completed my CPL and MEIR in christchurch NZ earlier this year, currently back home in Adelaide South Aus, thinking of making the trip to maun in the new year sometime. Would be good to get in with a few other like minded CPL's.
If anyone is planning on going in Jan or Feb a PM would be much appreciated!
Look forward to meeting some of you in the future, hopefully in formation over the Okavango!
Cheers,
H.C

REPORT: Sefofane has hired another pilot this week. ALthough they say this and that and that they are not hiring; NOBODY will hire you just based on the CV, you will have to make the effort to travel here!
I agree 101% with Bla Bla Bla!

Take a look at kayak.co.uk it's a pretty good price comparison site. Or just take a look at Emirates, they were cheapest when I booked about 6 weeks ago, but then again that might have changed.
