Private Hire - Accra, Ghana
 

I have a business trip to Accra, Ghana planned for early December. Does anyone know of a flying school or rental place I could hire a plane/instructor there? I have a JAR/PPL so it's probably easier to use a local instructor with the aircraft for a day.

Any information would be most appreciated as I've not managed to find anything with an internet search!http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...s/confused.gif

I found web sites for a couple of flight schools in Ghana. Don't know anything about them myself but they might make a starting point for finding a school that can help you get a suitable aircraft and instructor. From the photos and descriptions of a group fly out on the WAASPS site it looks like you are in for an exciting experience and some spectacular scenery if you are able to get a flight during your trip.

What WAASPS does...

Learn how to fly at CTK's Flight School

I have no idea about Ghana, but in general, flying in Africa is fantastic :ok:

If you can find a plane, go for it, you won't regret it ! (other than perhaps being really p***ed off with flying in Europe afterwards....)

That said, off on a bit of a tangent here: had a look at the WAASPS site referenced by Stephen Furner and this caught my eye. Never heard of them, does anyone here know anything about Deltahawk engines :confused:

Do you have to send them your bank account details?

Many thanks for the replies - even those questioning my sanity!

I did a 'bush flying' course with CC Pocock in South Africa last year and it was brill. He's a bit of a maverick but I learned so much in a just a few short hours, at the end of which I could easily land a C172 in less than 150 metres (mind you CC could do it in about 75http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...milies/eek.gif)

If I manage to get anything organised for this trip, I'll let you know

Cheers,

Tony

:hmm: like those lottery prizes I keep winning in Nigeria (really lucky as I haven't even bought a ticket....)

Last time in Africa, they seemed to prefer cash :E
