Looking for a flying school

[titanic411]

Hi, am a Ugandan and am looking to join a flying school but every place i see is ridiculously expensive.. any ideas on some good affordable places?

Try Heli in Cape Town they do fixed wing and helicopter training , fantastic facilities and instructors, I learned through them and really enjoyed my time there.

Or Cape Aero CLub for fixed wing and Base4 for rotary.
I can't vouch for CAC, but Base4 seem pretty solid with good instructors and well maintained machines.

Try Algoa Flight Centre.

Read the career guidance chapter on Flight Training College - George Garden Route South Africa before you make a decision.

Nothing in your area? The commute will make your eyes water, heading down South. CoL may also have an impact.

Besides 43 Air School, every other school in SA is fairly priced. If you think training in South Africa is "ridiculously expensive", maybe you should find a different career.

Too Bad,
Remember, 43 offers a full package, including accommodation and food if I'm not mistaken, so factor that into the equation first.
Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

So do other schools, and they are still R100,000 less expensive for a full CPL than 43. Progress and SAFTA offer on campus accommodation and meals and are far less expensive than 43.

I am joing SAFTA in November ! Any tips for that school, please ?!

No low fly pasts past the tower and try not to smear Goose into his canopy bow when you eject...

Have you tried checking out the South African Flight Training Directory
