duncan_rtfm Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hi My son is in SA and is wanting to learn to fly. It seems his two options (in the area where he lives - Cape Town) are a PPL or a Microlite licence/cert (don't know the exact name). Is there anyone with some experience with this? Where can I (or he) find info regarding pilot licences in SA other than a full PPL. Regards, Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The signed (certified) log book will be your main document when you go somewhere else. Air Legislation is peculiar to each country you fly in and a lot of other things are competency based. Just my view. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Only a " PPL " can be used in another country . Go to your/ his local aero club , were they will have all the information you will need . spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 It has to be ICAO compliant. You can't just assume it is. A lot depends on how long you want to stay there and what type of flying grabs you and can be afforded. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan_rtfm Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Oops - It seems I was less than clear. I ive in Aus, but my son resides in SA. He is wanting to learn to fly and has been offered a PPL or a Microlight licence path. I know nothing about Microlite licences in SA, and I was hoping someone would have the necessary experience to say something like: "Th SA Microlite licence is roughly equivalent to a Recreational licence in Aus." Or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
