Pilot Hour Building Services

LOCAL FLYING

The local flying segment will serve as your introduction to South African airspace, rules, and regulations, primarily covering routes within the Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport's Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA), the busiest airport in Africa.

If you hold a foreign pilot license, the practical flight test needed for the validation of your license will be conducted at the start of this phase.

REGIONAL FLYING

The regional flying will take you across the expansive South African landscape. During the first 25 flight hours, you will visit a different airport each day within a 300 nm radius and return to the base the same day, accumulating up to 6 flight hours daily.

Once you're familiar with the country’s flying conditions, you’ll embark on a South Africa round-trip heading south along the beautiful Indian Ocean coastline, stopping in East London, Port Elizabeth, and Mossel Bay before returning to Johannesburg via the mountains and bushland of the interior. This journey will span 3 days, adding another 15 hours to your logbook.

The main focus during this phase will be on flight planning, navigating airspace, and enhancing your radio and navigation skills. In just 10 days, you will complete an additional 40 hours.
