I am planning a trip to South Africa for a month in Nov. I have been offered free accommodation at J'burg, George and Pretoria (and Potchefstroom, if you've heard of it!) and would like to get some hours in. Does anybody have any details of flying schools/websites that I could contact?

Missionary,
You could check out FTC-Africa at Grand Central, Midrand. Did my PPL there at the beginning of the year - good selection of planes and quite reasonable prices,

Hiya
Flying in Pretoria area pretty cheap. Defence Club around US$34-00 per hour for a C150 (though it costs around US$140-00 to join the club) and Blue Chip at Wonderboom around US$48-00 per hour for a C172.
Contact me on email

Hi
Check out www.aeropages.co.za. You will find links on there to most of the flying schools and clubs in SA.
Make sure you include the Garden route and the Wild Coast on your trip for some spectacular scenery...
Cheers

Im planning on going to the Algoa Flight Centre next year to do my PPL. They are based in Port Elizabeth. Extremely good rates. It works out at about 28 pounds per hour on a C150 and 366 pounds for 10 hours.

They are extremely friendly as well, especially Glynis the marketing manager
PWP, did you get kissed? because you got f***ed when they charged you 366 pounds for 10 hours, when you could have gotten them for 280 pounds as you stated! :D :D
