There are 12 PPL courses held at Cape Flying Services each year. The PPL courses commence as per the schedule on page 14 of this brochure. The courses start on the first Monday of each month except in the case when the 1st Monday is already quite far into the month. In those instances the PPL course will usually start on the Monday closest to the 1st of the month. It is a 8 week course although although we allow a few extra days for inclement weather and other unscheduled delays.

The full CPL course commences on the same days as the PPL as indicated on page 14. There are three CPL ground courses held each year in March, July and mid November. These courses correspond to the CPL exams held by the C.A.A. in March, July and November. The complete CPL course will take 9 to 10 months (CPL and IR) to complete. Although we like to adhere to this schedule we must stress that students unable to comply with these dates can be catered for and tailor made courses can be accommodated.
PPL Finisher courses, CPL and IR Finisher courses, Multi-Engine Conversions, Night Ratings, Hour Building and Cross Country Touring can be accommodated at any time throughout the year.

Since the lifting of the international sanctions against South Africa, the employment market for pilots has grown immensely for various reasons; SAA had not been recruiting for several years and a gap has appeared in the lower ranks, more international and local destinations, and several new charter and passenger airlines have emerged.
