You will be required to pass exams on 8 subjects during the course of your training.
DurationThe average time required to obtain your PPL is 65 flying hours. You will be required to pass exams on 8 subjects during the course of your training. These subjects are:
At the end of your training, you will be required to complete a final PPL test, which will include an oral exam and flight test encompassing both flying and navigation skills.
Once all the above requirements have been satisfactorily completed, you will be awarded with a PPL license. This will allow you to fly the aircraft you are rated on by day and in VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions).
As the holder of a PPL you may not fly for reward, although you may carry friends as passengers if they wish.The Private Pilot License is valid only on aircraft registered in South Africa (ZS or ZU registered aircraft).
You may only fly types of aircraft on which you are rated on and have flown before. This means that if you were trained on a Cessna 172, you will need to do differences training before you may fly, for example, a Piper Cherokee.
At Cape Town Flying Club, we are happy to perform differences training for PPL holders to a wide variety of aircraft. The time taken to complete the differences training depends on the degree of difficulty involved.
It comprises a theoretical examination confirming that you are familiar with the technical aspects of the new aircraft, and then between one and ten hours of flying with an instructor in order to first obtain, and then demonstrate competence.
Cape Town flying Club’s origins date back to the pre-World War II era. The club’s base of operations was at the Youngsfield Military Base in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
Then known as the Cape Aero Club it moved to DF Malan Airport (Cape Town International Airport) in the 1970’s. In the mid 1970’s the club split into two separate flying clubs, Good Hope Flying and Cape Aero Club.
Both clubs continued to operate from DF Malan airport.Good Hope Flying Club then operated closely with the University of Cape Town’s Flying Club from the same base at the airport.
Cape Aero Club moved to the current club house of Cape Town Flying Club in the early 1980’s. The club house was officially opened by Sir Douglas Bader on 12 November 1980.
As economic times became tougher the Committees of Cape Aero Club and Good Hope Flying Club decided to pursue an amalgamation of the two organisations. This amalgamation was successfully completed on the 1st of July 2006 and thus the Cape Town Flying Club was born.
In July 2019 the Cape Town Flying commenced its transition from a traditional club to that of a Not for Profit Company (NPC) and became known as the Cape Town Flying Club NPC.
This change enabled the club to gain formal recognition by National Government and was granted a Non Profit Organisation (NPO) status in September 2020.
Cape Town Flying Club NPC started trading as the Cape Town International Aviation Academy during 2021 and works closely with the Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) of South Africa as well as the private sector to promote and assist with the development of skills within the aviation sector.
In August 2022 the NPC became an approved National Government and Western Cape Government Aviation Training Supplier. It was then decided by the board of directors, after consultation with Government to change the name to Cape Town International Aviation Academy NPC early in 2023.
For many years now we have referred to our CPL course as The Professional Pilot Course.
