Program Requirements

General Requirements

Be at least 16 years old, and there is no upper age limit.
Complete a formal Medical Examination (Class I or II).
Our admin team will assist you in completing the SPL Application Form.
Two Passport-Sized photographs are necessary.
A basic Written Examination covering air law and procedures must be passed. The content will be straightforward after a few lessons with your instructor.
Payment of the Prescribed License Fee to the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SA-CAA) is required. After this, you will receive a license permitting you to fly solo under the supervision of your instructor.

Flight Hour Requirements

A valid Student Pilot’s License is required.
You must log A Minimum Of 45 Hours, which includes at least 15 hours of solo flight and 25 hours of dual flight instruction (with an instructor). The dual flight instruction must consist of 5 hours of simulation training, which may be completed in the aircraft. Additionally, you will need at least 5 hours of solo cross-country flight time.
You are required to pass 7 Written Examinations that will assess your knowledge in Engines & Airframes, Meteorology, Air Law, Navigation, Human Performance, Flight Planning, and Principles of Flight.
You need a “Restricted Radio Licence” before getting your PPL. It’s a good idea to complete this early in your training, as the information helps significantly with all flight aspects.
You’ll take Two Practical Flight Tests. The first, a General Flight Test (GFT), assesses your aircraft handling in normal, abnormal, and emergency situations, administered by a Grade One or Two instructor. The second test evaluates your navigation skills, requiring you to fly a pre-planned triangular route with two landings at different airports and operate in controlled airspace.
Once flight time and tests are complete, Verify Your Paperwork and submit it with the required fee to the SA-CAA to convert your Student Pilot’s License to a Private Pilot’s License.
