Having successfully completed the ATSA course and student can continue with the Aerodrome control course which has both theoretical and practical content. The successful completion of the theoretical training is a necessary prerequisite to be able to continue onto the simulator training course.
Practical training will be conducted in the FABR artificial airspace created for 43 Air Schools simulator environment .However; with the simulator it is possible to provide training for clients in their individual national airspace.
The modern capabilities of the simulator affords the school and the unique opportunity of offering clients the option of completing 50% of their validation training, recurrence training or proficiency assessments at the 43 Air Schools facility.
AOPA Reacts To SACAAs Move to Investigate a Recent Air crash.
The South African branch of the Aircraft Owners' and Pilots' Association (AOPA) has reacted strongly to a recent press release which indicated that the SA Civil Aviation Authority had begun an investigation into the cause of an accident involving a Piper and a Jabiru aircraft at Wonder boom Airport, Pretoria, on October 26.
Three people were injured in the accident when the two aircraft collided apparently in midair over the runway.
In a letter addressed to the Director-General of Transport in which he states that he was present at the airport "moments after the accident" and that it appeared that ATNS (the Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company) was also directly involved in the investigation, Dr. J.T (Koos) Marais ,chairman of AOPA,wrote:"I draw your attention to the provisions of the Civil Aviation Act,2009, which was assented to by the President on 25/27 May 2009.In particular, the Act makes provision for the establishment of an independent Aviation Safety Investigation Board and Section 10 of the Act states. ‘the Aviation Safety Investigation Board, which is a juristic person, is hereby established.'
"The purpose of this Board is to independently investigate aircraft accidents in order to advance aviation safety. In view of prior irregularities raised by AOPA regarding air traffic control and air safety at Wonder boom Airport,AOPA and its members have a clear interest in the outcome of any investigation of this accident.
"It does appear, however, that such an Aviation Safety Investigation Board has been constituted as is required by the Act, nor is such Board investigating this accident," Marias said.
