Pilot License Validation

For us to be able to start the process of validating your foreign pilot license in order to get a foreign based South African pilot license, we need to provide information to the CAA. Please fill in this form completely in order for us to be able to move forward. Once this information is processed by us and the South African CAA, you will have to to an airlaw theory exam and a checkride with an instructor once you arrive in South Africa. After that, the South African CAA still needs several days to process the results and issue you the license.
