Very good instructors (did my PPL in SA within 23 days < 5000 Euros
including accomodation!), best service and unbeatable hour rates !

South African PPLs are fully accepted in UK.

Best regards

That outfit would do a roaring trade if they did FAA PPL/CPL/IR
training. No Visa and TSA rubbish!

I even got it fully accepted and converted into a German one (!) - its
ICAO - so you just pass your national air law and in Germany the German
radio cert + medicals + overhead etc.. and there you fly : )

The SA route is OK if all you ever want is a plain PPL.

It all falls over if you want to do an IR as well. To get European IFR
privileges, you would need an SA-registered aircraft.

I know nothing about the SA regime (I fly under the U.S. FAA regime)
but I am pretty damn sure there is a major catch, otherwise a lot of
people in Europe would be keeping SA-registered airplanes instead of
US-reg ones.

Either the "SA CAA" requires a min time spent in SA each year, or they
have severe restrictions on who can own it / operate it, or the SA IR
is as hard to get as the European one, or there are major airframe /
equipment certification issues.

Whereas America has all this sussed.

In fact it might be handy if the CPL isn't too hard
