Does CAA not have to comply with ICAO? 1.3.1.2 Airworthiness Inspectors (AWI’s) must not only have the knowledge, experience and qu...

CAA are taking the 'ramp check list seriously! Inspectors visited Morningstar to carry out these checks and this poster was caught flying without some of the required items on board - right down to those signal strips! I guess they are only doing their job and now I await the outcome - possible ret...

BTW, a radio station licence cannot be issued if you have a portable radio. Only for built-in radios. For portable radio's, you require a radio licence (not the same as radio operating certificate), which is issued by ICASA as well, but does not have the aircraft registration on it, but rather the ...

And btw... The red airlaw book has been written for the standard PPL, and as far operations go, have very little to do with NTCA!

Herewith the reasons as outlined by CAA for such a thing... Registered Aerodromes During the almost ten years of the Civil Aviation Authority’s existence, the number of licensed aerodromes varied between the 135 to 140 mark. These aerodromes were subjected to annual inspections according to ICAO- ...

Hi Everyone As many of you know already, there is a proposal from CAA to register all airfields in South Africa, which would mean that it will be an offence to take off from an unregistered airfield (except if you are flying a chopper). This will be a disaster for microlight airfields, most of which...
