South African Flight school for ATPL JAR FCL 1 conditions?

[ChiefT]

Good day,

I am searching for a flight school in South Africa providing an ATPL-Licence under JAR FCL1 conditions. Do you have any information about adress, costs of the programme? Thank you in advance.

None that I know of. A couple of schools claimed a qualification in the past but were basically snake oil salesmen.

Anyone else with more gen?

I don;t think there is a JAA school in SA The UK guys I know who go to SA get their SA CPL with SA I/Rs, then come back to the UK to do (in the usual order):
JAA ATPL ground school
JAA CPL flight conversion course
JAA I/R conversion course
JAA MCC course.

They start jobs with JAA CPL/IRs but with ATPL ground school passed, then their right seat experience eventually allows an ATPL to be issued after a fair number of multicrew hours.

Some others come back with a SA PPL and about 150 hours or more after hours building, and start the same route, but they have more to do on the flying side (and hence pay more) as they only start with a SA PPL.
