5 days
During our five days bush course you will be flying approximately 20 hours, landing on more than 30 different fields to get you just this extra experience and confident also when flying in Europe. During your stay you will also enjoy South African bush living and safari trips with our partner lodges near Johannesburg.
Our training schedule is build on years of experiences flying in the African bush and aims to improve your piloting skills in unfamiliar terrain. Every day the bushstrips targeted are just a little bit more difficult and challenging than the day before, so you slowly build experience and confidence. Gravel fields, grass runways, sloping strips, narrow and short in combination with navigating through unknown territory and in warm African conditions is challenging, so each future bush pilot will be accompanied by an experienced flight instructor from our crew. This also ensures a steady learning process for you as your instructor will get to know you well during the days spent in the air together. Every evening there will be an extensive briefing for the upcoming day so not to worry about remembering all fields in advance or preparing a lot while still in Europe.
As flight training will be done mainly in the morning hours to avoid heat, turbulences and potential thunder storms building up throughout the day you will be able to enjoy the hospitality of your lodge, a cool dip into the swimming pool, reading a book under the old trees in the garden or the afternoon safari tours through the bushveld areas each day after flying. The perfect combination thus of pilot training, discovering the African bush and proper holiday relaxation.
The accommodation is also suitable to bring a (none flying) partner who wants to enjoy time off and relax while you are up in the air.
