    What a terrible shame. Why? The RAASA team and their documentation processes worked so efficiently! Ineffective and disorganized administration processes within our SACAA will ultimately be the killjoy for recreational flying in this country.

    Typical. It would be interesting for them to give only ONE good reason for this. I suspect dome greedy, power hungry motives lie behind this move! Soon there will be no recreational flying in SA to control.

  • Matthew Reply 6 Mar 2019 at 9:29 am

    I would dearly like to know the reason for this move. Everybody knows that Government departments in the main are inefficient beurocratric money guzzlers. One cannot help but suspect ulterior motives.

    All organisations that WORK must now be destroyed and replaced by CAA that does not work. Typically SA government

    We are already struggling in the Certified Aviation Types with SACAA now the Uncertified are going to be combed with the same comb!

  • Pieter Briel Reply 8 Mar 2019 at 2:20 pm

    RAASA functioned so efficiently and with out any excuses and delays. This is indeed a sad day for recreational aviation.

    Explains how they plan on making the transition… bets of luck.

    This is yet another example of how SA is sliding downwards, the moment something works well, it must change!!
    Lets see how this is going to pan out for us guys and girls,….. fun times lying ahead for us
    Good luck
