Description
Flying At SAFTA
South Africa is cited amongst the top 10 destinations for flight training worldwide.
The main attribute to this is the great “non-weather” winter in the Highveld and the strong history of piloting in the country.
The aviation network is mature and continues to do so with the determination and aid of the South African Civil Aviation Authority.
Heidelberg’s airspace is close to the general flying area and less congested.
It is also unmanned, enabling students to practice “radio talk (aka RT)”at an acceptable pace before going into manned aerodromes.
Heidelberg is in close proximity to international airports and navigation aid. We also have many fly safaris, rally’s and breakfast fly-ins for students to part take in.
