PPL Flight training in South Africa and UK conversion
I am planning on doing my PPL and Night rating in South Africa which would lead to a South African ICAO licence. I want to then carry on training in the UK and hopefully do volunteer humanitarian/anti-poaching bush flying seasonally in Africa. I have a few questions that I would be grateful to get answers to:
1. How can I convert a South African PPL and Night rating to a UK one? - Is it a difficult process? - If I have to redo the ground school exams, can I do that online whilst I study for the South African ones? 2. Is there any way I can subsequently renew my licence and medical certification for both the UK and South Africa simultaneously? - Are there any places that do dual accreditations for both the flying and the medical? 3. Are there any flight schools that anyone would recommend in either Capetown or Johannesburg? - I'm currently looking at Cape Town Flight Training Centre, Stellenbosch Flying Club Flight School and Johannesburg School of Flying. - Are there any particularly suited to someone who wants to do bush flying? Thank you! |
All I can say from experience in the past:
If a gentleman called Gerald Todd is in the management of the flightschool, stay away ! He once was the owner of Cape Flying Service in GEORGE, SA. He and his sister still owe a lot of students, a lot of money ! |
