South Africa on a PPL by Irv Lee The booklet summarises the points any UK based pilot needs to understand before arriving in South Africa for a vacation which involves some fun flying down there.

"South Africa on a PPL" is designed and written for the UK qualified pilot who wishes to fly for fun and self hire
whilst on vacation or business in the Republic of South Africa, yet does not have a South African Licence.
It guides the pilot through the validation process and explains the both the practical differences from back home in the UK
(e.g.: VFR mandatory flight levels) and some of the theory differences. Highly Recommended by UK pilots who have read it
before arriving in South Africa.
"South Africa on a PPL" is an invaluable aid to answer the questions you already have, but of course it answers the questions you didn't know you had to ask!

(To avoid the suspense, night starts 15 minutes after sunset) The booklet consists of 47 'A5' pages (black and white) and is usually dispatched by first class post within 24 hours of an order being received either from this page using a variety of plastic cards or via a cheque sent by normal mail.
