How does it cost in South Africa

[jetsetter]

Dear ppruners,

Since everyone keep telling that pilot training in South Africa is very cheap, affordable,etc....

So how much does it actually cost...say for a CPL MEIR over in South Africa??

And which flying school gives the cheapest flying lesson and aircrafty rental???

Please kindly advice me...

thank you.

I don't know what it cost for flying lessons etc. but I do know that it's very inexpensive to live in Jo-burg which would offset the cost flight training. Good Luck !

Flight training at Wonderboom around US$14000-00 for a MEIR CPL including instructor qualification. For more gen contact me on email [email protected] and I'll try to get you some details. It may take a while as I'm out of town for a bit and I lost the school's phone number.

You may have a problem converting to a JAA licence but if you intend working in Africa it's worth doing.

I would guess the least expensive is the one I rented from - Algoa in Port Elizabeth as they are a mutual owned by members rather than a for-profit company. If it isn't the cheapest, I can't imagine why it isn't!
