Wish I was in SA, but unfortunately in Blighty.

Glad John got out, agreed top oke.

Vicki wanted him to pay for landing fees at Lanseria and other transport costs when he landed at Lanseria due to GC being closed to VFR (no IR procedures) in 2002. He would have got a bollocking for cancelling the lesson, typical example of their attitude.

Have 6 Castles & 2 packs Billtong for me.
Toast the demise of the last 2 at the top.

Are the Scorpions interested? I was convinced they were doing the VAT as well as the customers.

Have a good night.

Hi SK

Yes the school was at one time very good, certainly one of the best around. I have been reading with much sadness about the demise of the school, there were good people there. Hard to believe that the management (such as they were) can get away with this and so many lose so much, sad to say it 's certainly not a first in aviation.
Good luck to all the instructors and of course the many students.

I was intructing at the school back in late 90's, will try to join you all on 29th. I will spread the word to get some of the guys and gals from that time there .

Have you had any luck? What was your problem? You sound desperate.

Don´t really know if I have a problem at all. I´m new here at pprune and got a little worried about my CPL when I saw the comments here. I have no regrets when i think of my time with FTC. I´m planning to go to SA in two month time and hope I´ll leave the country with a JAA-CPL.
By the way: why is it that everyone in here is anonymous - I´ll never know if I I´ve met you at FTC

What did you do at FTC?
I don't think you'll be getting that CPL from the posts here to be honest.
Also heard today from a CAA CAAFU examiner that the JAA approval is being removed from any further ventures - anyone confirm this?

Good news for Europeans, bad for SA
 
I checked the latest UK CAA list of JAR approved Training Establishments.

Not one is in South Africa.

FTC & GFT (Global Flight Training) are not there, did the UK CAA listen?

Now is the time for some good schools to try, CFA (Midrand) or 43.
I understand they are good, not personnal experience, however, CFA were always helpful towards FTC overseas students.

Good Luck to all the ex FTC instructors and desk staff.

Have a lekker drink, all those going for the gathering.

Hello

I just wanted to share a very interesting piece of news that I received yesterday. Apparently Ms B's school in Rand is now fully functional. Not sure what it is called but will find out and let you know. They have all their old aircraft - KFF, UCT, LMI etc and apparently Ms B has tested one of the JAA students last week. Has anyone else heard anything?

ms B
 
HI
I have tried to get in comtact with ms. B several times to ask wether or not she´s got JAA CPL approval but without luck. And I´m fed up with FTC and all the irrisponsible people there.
