The minimum age required is 17 years for all licences.

Training can be done full time or part time.  The time required will depend on the licence you choose and whether you are going to do it part time or full time.   You will be required to get a radio licence which can be obtained in Hoedspruit and a flying medical which can be obtained nearby.

Literature:

Jim Davis book “PPL” is used as our reference source for NPL and Avex Manual used for PPL.

 

Aircraft hire:

All aircraft will be for hire and fly after completion of the licence.

 

Insurance

Our aircraft are all fully insured and you will be required to carry pilot excess insurance to the value of R20 000 before going solo.  This is not aircraft specific so you will be able to use it when flying any of our aircraft.
