DC9 type rating in S.A

Hi,
i heard that S.A has a training facility, can anybody put some light on this please, i'm actually looking for a place to get a DC9 type rating.
Thanx

SA Training Facilities

This reminds me of the time I did a SII sim course AT FSI in San Antonio. A chap from Bakersville in California was flabbergasted when he got the news that " Africa had an airline".

Actually SA has about 140 odd training facilities, but unfortunately none that present a DC9 conversion - as far as I know. The local companies that do operate the DC9/MD80 (Sunair and Safair), do most of their initial training (when required) outside of SA.

Remember, you do not need to have a reason to come to sunny SA. Just come anyway and enjoy our peace and tranquility. We are after all as far from the war as you can get....
