Pilot Training South Africa

Taking the first steps toward a fun and rewarding aviation experience.

We regularly receive requests for information on the steps that one should take to successfully learn how to fly. This article was written to answer many of the commonly asked questions. Step 1 - Analyze This Investment There are many things that you must invest in when learning how to fly. The most important investment is the time investment. It is suggested that student pilots schedule flight lessons three days a week, for one-hour time slots. Consistently coming to all of your lessons is important. It is also expected that a student take ground school on the side (or spend their own time studying material at home). The second important investment is the money. The cost to attain a Pilot License can vary greatly from person to person. A minimum of 35 hours of flight time is required to receive a license (40 if flying part 61), but some students may need up to 70 hours of flight training. Depending on your location, prices can vary from $75.00/hr for flight time to well over $120.00/hr. The total cost for flight training and equipment will range from $4,000 to over $7,000. Can you afford to go through training now? If not, save your money and start when you can afford to go through the whole training course.

We therefore suggest that the get an aviation physical as soon as you commit to flight training!
