FLYING
We offer flying from the three axis controlled microlight to single and multiengine airplanes. The training can start from Microlight Pilot License up to Airline pilot Licence. On the way can be instructor training for microlights and airplanes, Instrument Ratings, Night Ratings and even Gyrocopter Pilot Licence training
Basic training will be most efficient on the "BRAVO". This aircraft is in the three axis controlled light aeroplane and can be operated in microlight category. It is driven by the "VW" engine @ 75 HP, can cruise 85 mph and stay in the air 3,5 Hrs. Training to the Microlight Pilot License will take minimum 25 flying hours mostly with the instructor, but also solo, includes cross country flight exercise. Soon we will (first one is coming from Poland) offer this aircraft for R 600 per hour, included the instructor supervision, flying and ground lectures. The theoretical part of the pilot training is included in the flying price and is conducted progressively during the briefings before and after every flight. After the training, licensed pilot can "Hire & Fly" this "BRAVO" for only R 500 per hour. This beautiful recreational aircraft is very new but already proven as very efficient trainer.
The Private Pilot training we provide on this Piper PA 28/140. If you are already licensed Microlight Pilot, especially with us, it will take you no more than 15 flying hours on this Piper @ R 1070 per hour to complete your Private Pilot License (PPL). If you decided to start your PPL from the beginning on the Piper you have to accumulate a minimum of 45 flying hrs before you can pass the theory and practical Private Pilot test. All of tests will be done in our facility.

Still unique in RSA for flight training is in our fleet gyrocopter "Magni Gyro M-16T" ZU-DCV - Another training proposition. The training for Gyrocopter Pilot Licence require a minimum of 25 flying hours for the ab initio pilots and much shorter, basically conversion to type, for the licensed PPL or higher licensed pilots. We offer right now extremely attractive pricing for such a exotic training.
New in our "Squadron" is Replica Piper "Cub". Very attractive pricing, return to old good days of stick and pedals flying. Great opportunity to obtain the tail dragger rating. extremely pleasant touring aeroplane. "Double Whiskey" give the joy of flying as it was so romantic years ago.
