AVIATION SCHOOL
We, at The Cape Academy, want to give your child the chance to be part of the only Aviation training opportunity for scholars in South Africa. This, a first for the Western Cape, has become a reality at the Cape Academy of Mathematics, Science and Technology (CAMST) since January 2011. The Aviation School has been established to promote interest in Aviation and to expose the learners to as many Aviation-related career opportunities, e.g. pilot, engineer (mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-), aeronautical medical practitioner, air traffic controller, mechanic, electrician or aircraft builder/ designer. The list of possibilities is endless.
The high quality of training will be done by Cape Town Flying Club, in addition to the strong academic program, already offered by CAMST. The Private Pilot License (PPL) course gives the learner the opportunity to obtain a private pilot license, which is the first ladder to climb in aviation. The course for the Private Pilot License (PPL) is an accredited course at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of South Africa. . Time Frame: This course will run over three (3) years from Grade 10 to Grade 12 and ongoing if needed (negotiable with Mr Sadar and the service provider). Requirements: Learners must be South African citizens registered at the Cape academy. Learners have to have English, Mathematics and Physical Science. Learners have to pass 6 Aviation subjects for the academic qualifications. Learners must be 16 years old before they can write any of their official CAA examinations. Pass rate of 75% must be obtained for each of the 6 subjects. Learners have to do the 45 hours flying (5 hours of the 45 hours can be done in a flight simulator to cut costs of fuel. Learners have to obtain a grade 2 medical examination to commence with their grade 11 year subjects. 6 Academic subjects are:
