News/ Events:
PURCHASING AIRCRAFT
Thus far it has been good business practice for the school to lease aircraft, however the steady growth we have experienced has created a need to purchase our own aircraft.
The major benefit is greater control over the maintenance of the aircraft which in turn allows us to provide a much better quality of service to our students.
MOGAS
The Cessna 150 has been cleared to run on MOGAS (car fuel). We are in the process of getting the required certification from CAA.
The benefit is that we will be able to offer students the same unbelievably low prices for years to come because we are not vulnerable to the continually rising prices of AVGAS.
SIMULATOR
Our flight simulator is at last complete and now awaits inspection and registration by the CAA. It is probable that this will occur shortly after the soccer world cup in July.
CPL GROUND SCHOOL
The next CPL ground school will commence on the first Monday in August. The cost is only R5000. A real bargain if you consider that you will get in excess of 160 hours of lectures from Lumon van Eeden who is the most experienced and up to date lecturer at PE airport today. The results achieved in CPL exams by his students are phenomenal. This ground school is just another example of the level of our commitment to our students.
FLYING DURING THE SOCCER WORLD CUP IN SOUTH AFRICA
Kick off is on June 11 and the final game in Port Elizabeth is one month later around July 11.
Flying during this time will be severely restricted because of traffic volumes and security constraints. Prospective students are advised to arrange their travel plans so as to arrive after July 11.
