Aviation Training Organisations
South African Aviation Training Organisations Scamming Alert
Prospective students from all over the world are being scammed by unscrupulous persons in South Africa. The scams involve tricking students into paying over funds to undergo training at Aviation Training Organisations (ATOs) allegedly holding approvals granted by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA).
Advertising of ATO services are typically conducted through the newspaper advertisements or through the internet. Popular advertisements include the lure of completing an aircraft type rating, followed by an employment contract as a First Officer or Flight Attendant on a named airline.
Enquiries about these advertisements invariably are followed up by a request to deposit funds (normally in US dollars or Euros) into a named bank account. Some scammers have even requested money to be sent through “Cash Send” services available through most ATM services.
When responding to an advertisement for a particular training service, please request the training service provider to supply you with a copy of its approved ATO certificate as well as a copy of its approved Training Operations Specification (Opspec). The Opspec issued by the SACAA will list the training that has been approved for the particular ATO. You are then invited to verify the authenticity of the supplied documentation with the SACAA by sending an email to PEL.Training.caa.co.za
Note – in the subject line of the email, please insert “VERIFICATION OF ATO CERTIFICATE AND OPSPEC“.
Prospective students are advised to exercise caution and carry out due diligence (especially where promises of employment are included) before committing to any financial arrangement, as the SACAA is not able to assist in any way with persons that have been scammed.
“If it sounds too good to be true, then it is probably not true!”

For any additional queries, please contact PEL.Training@caa.co.za
The SACAA welcomes professional aviation competition which is encouraged to improve productivity towards flight safety in South Africa. Contained herein is some information with regards to the new ATO application and the 5-phase process.
The 21st amendment to the Civil Aviation Regulations as contained in the Government Gazette No 11359 Vol 677 of 15 November 2021 No 45491contains a complete replacement of the Part 141 regulations and the amendment of SA CATS 2/2021 dated 5 Nov 2021 completely replaces SA-CATS 141.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF ATO CERTIFICATION?
We have a five-phase process in place for the ATO Application and Certification as follows:
- Pre-application phase. During this phase a Prospective Aviation Training Organisation Pre-Assessment Statement of Intent (POPS) is filled in. The SACAA (PEL Training) will schedule a pre-application meeting with the prospective ATO applicant and the selected SACAA team leader.
As a prerequisite to the approval process, (Initial Approval), an ATO shall demonstrate that it is staffed, equipped, financially resourced and shall be operated in a manner conducive to achieving the required standards SA-CARS 141.01.2 (1), SA-CARS 141.01.6(3)(a) and SA-CATS 141.
An additional regulatory change indicates that an application shall only be considered if the local municipality, land owner or airport licence holder, has given written consent for the establishment of a new ATO, taking into consideration available facilities and in the case of flight training, air traffic volumes.
- Application Phase. During this phase, the application and payment is made to FinanceRevenue@caa.co.za and for which an invoice is receipted. A client requiring an invoice to be receipted must follow the communication protocol as shown on our website (and shown below). No services are to be delivered without payment of the application fee. . The Scheduling of Events are discussed. The Training and Procedures Manual (TPM) and other Manuals control roster is created and discussed.
- Document and Evaluation Phase. All Manuals and relevant application forms are checked and approved. Refer SA-CATS 141 and Refer SA-CATS Part 140 (structure of the Safety Management Manual).
- Demonstration and Inspection Phase. The physical audit is carried out on the facilities, together with all operational requirements such as Management responsibility, Quality Management, Training, Student records, Instructor records, Incident reporting, Emergency response plan, Infrastructure and all SACAA publications.
- Certification Phase. The audit report is generated, the recommendations are made for the issue of the ATO certificate. The Manager Personnel Licensing: Training reviews and approves the documentation. All other documents to be reviewed and confirmed by the SACAA internal Consistency and Standardisation Department. The ATO Certificate together with the Training Operations Specification Certificate (Opspec) for the type of training is issued with its own confidential serial number. The Senior Manager Personnel Licensing reviews the certification documents and approves the Opspec. Thereafter the ATO Certificate is signed by the Executive: Air Safety Operations. That concludes the process.
HOW LONG DOES THE ATO CERTIFICATION PROCESS TAKE?
Experience has shown that the 5 Phase process generally takes between 6 and 9 months to complete.
FEES
Please take note of the applicable fees currently in force – see regulation 187.01.34. Updated and current fees can be found by visiting the Fees page.
Please note the following:
- ANNUAL FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ORDER TO FOR THE ATO TO OPERATE

REGULATIONS
The regulations governing Aviation Training Organisations are contained in the Civil Aviation Regulations, 2011 (As amended) SA-CAR Part 141 and the Civil Aviation Technical Standards SA-CATS Part 141. These can be found on the home page of the SACAA website.
GENERAL INFORMATION – TRAINING NOTICES AND FORMS
Please take note that urgent training notices are published on the CAA website. See also the link for forms that are in use for ATOs.
ICAO GUIDING PRINCIPLE TO PROSPECTIVE ATOs
ICAO Document 9841 Third Edition dated 2018 – Manual on the Approval of Training Organisations is the latest publication which provides guidance for the development of regulations for the approval of an ATO.
Chapter 1 Para 1.2.2 of Document 9841 states: “In all cases, ATOs require an accountable executive who is the final authority on decisions that may impact upon the continued suitability of the organisation to deliver training to aviation personnel for licensing purposes.”
Due to the fact mentioned above, the SACAA informs all prospective clients that they are solely responsible for communication with the SACAA. The applicant may make use of a consultant to assist and guide them, however, the consultant is not a client of the SACAA and therefore communication on the application and certification process shall remain between the SACAA and its prospective client.

Flight Simulator Training Device Start-Up Information
For any additional queries, please contact PEL.FSTD@caa.co.za
The SACAA welcomes professional aviation competition which is encouraged to improve productivity towards flight safety in South Africa. Contained herein is some information with regards to a new FSTD application and the process involved.
The 21st amendment to the Civil Aviation Regulations as contained in the Government Gazette No 11359 Vol 677 of 15 November 2021 No 45491contains a complete replacement of the Part 60 regulations and the amendment of SA CATS 2/2021 dated 5 Nov 2021 completely replaces SA-CATS 60.
This document is aimed at Start-up of an FSTD operation, all descriptions made refer to the Initial Qualification of an FSTD.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question | Answer |
Can an FSTD be Certified in South Africa? | No, worldwide the term “Qualification” is used instead of “Certification” of an FSTD. |
Who may apply for FSTD Qualification? | Only an ATO may apply for the Qualification of an FSTD, it is not possible to apply for FSTD Qualification if not through an ATO, regardless of whether one is the owner of the device or not. |
What happens when the ATO Certificate or Operations Specification expires, but the FSTD Qualification Certificate is current? | The Qualification Certificates are only valid if the ATO Certificate and Ops Spec are valid. |
When may an ATO apply for FSTD Qualification? | An ATO may apply once the proposed device has been installed, is functioning to design specification and has been evaluated by an ATO designated team of experts to comply with all requirements as prescribed in SACAA-FSTD A (For Aeroplanes) or SACAA-FSTD H (For Helicopters), |
Will an FSTD automatically receive qualification based on manufacturer recommendation, previous qualification held, or Foreign Authority approval held? | No, SACAA does an independent evaluation of the FSTD. If the manufacturer has built the device to a specific level of functioning, SACAA will confirm that the device does indeed meet the criteria as detailed in SACAA-FSTD A or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable. |
How can I assure that, prior to purchasing an FSTD, the device will be guaranteed to receive SACAA Qualification? | There are simply no guarantees, other than using SACAA-FSTD A or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable and confirming that each criterion for the qualification level sought has been met. |
Where do I start? | Make email contact with the SACAA Part 60 Department via an email introduction (in the format used for ATO contact, see communication protocol later in this document) by emailing pel.fstd@caa.co.za. An inspector will contact you and assist where possible to reach the formal application stage. |
Can SACAA do a pre-purchase evaluation of an FSTD for me? | No, SACAA does not evaluate devices in any other way than described below. |
I AM READY TO PROCEED, WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF FSTD QUALIFICATION?
After receiving compliant written application, SACAA will follow a 3-part approach in order to evaluate a device. A device cannot receive qualification if all 3 parts are not compliant. Here follows the parts:
- Objective Evaluation: During the objective evaluation, the FSTD Qualification Test Guides are interrogated to prove compliance with SACAA-FSTD A criteria or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable. This part of the evaluation compares the expected objective performance of the device as tabled by the manufacturer, to the actual performance achieved during objective testing; referred to as running of the QTG. Inspectors will oversee a portion of the QTG being run and may ask for the running of additional QTG to substantiate observations raised whilst scrutinising the previously run results. Evaluation of the QTG also entails comparing the results against maximum deviation tolerances, which are prescribed in SACAA-FSTD A or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable.
- Subjective Evaluation: During the subjective evaluation, the performance of the device is measured during a fly-out. SACAA may conduct the fly-out or require rated crew to be arranged by the ATO; this depends on the complexity and the type of device under scrutiny. Depending on the qualification level sought, this is where checklists and crew flows are conducted to test conformance. The handling characteristics and aerodynamic behaviour of the device is under scrutiny, be that to be class representative or up to type specific requirements, again dependant on level of qualification sought. During the subjective evaluation the “Training Credits” appropriate for the device will be determined and verified. All subjective criteria are contained in SACAA-FSTD A or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable.
- FSTD Quality System: During assessment of the FSTD Quality System focus is placed on the organisations approach to and evaluation of maintaining an acceptable level of performance of the FSTD. Aspects like FSTD documentation, maintenance outcomes, general device condition and the state of the surrounding area are some of the matters evaluated. The ATO is expected to conduct their own oversight of the device, this is normally contained within the FSTD Quality System. There is a requirement to conduct specific quarterly FSTD oversight tasks by the Operator, this is assessed, and feedback is provided to Management of the ATO. Requirements for the FSTD Quality System can be found in SACAA-FSTD A or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable.
- Application: Use the official application form from our website as well as to draft the letter of application as found in SACAA-FSTD A or SACAA-FSTD H as applicable. A compliant letter of application needs to be lodged with SACAA at least 3 months prior to the expected evaluation date.
HOW LONG DOES THE FSTD EVALUATION PROCESS TAKE?
Again, bear in mind that the compliant application must be received at least 3 months prior to the commencement of the FSTD evaluation.
Experience has shown that the SACAA 3 Part process generally takes between 3 and 5 days to complete (per operating model or variant of the device). Expected evaluation time is greatly dependant on the complexity of the device.
On completion of a successful evaluation expect to receive the Qualification Certificates after approximately 4 weeks.
FEES
Until the introduction of a Part 60 Fee structure under Part 187, all invoicing happens on completion of the evaluation, based on hours spent on task. Also, until the introduction of a specific Fee structure, invoicing occurs in accordance with SACAR Part 187.01.45 (a) which stipulates an hourly rate for services rendered for which no specific fee has been set out in Part 187.
REGULATIONS
The regulations governing FSTD Operators are contained in the The South African Civil Aviation Regulations, 2011 (As amended) SACAR Part 60, the South African Civil Aviation Technical Standards SA-CATS 60 and the FSTD Technical Qualification documents SACAA-FSTD A and SACAA-FSTD H. . These can be found on the home page of the SACAA website.
* Take note that new regulations and technical standards are due to be promulgated soon These new regulations and technical standards will completely replace current SACAR Part 60 of the regulations and introduce SA-CATS 60. This information page will be updated when the new regulations are promulgated.

Aviation Training Scam Alert – be cautious
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (“SACAA”) has received reports of scams where fictitious organisations pose as approved aviation training organisations to the public.
There are numerous advertisements on social media and in publications such as Junk Mail and Gumtree where employment opportunities such as cabin safety attendants are offered. An applicant would be required to complete an application form in order to undergo training and this form must be accompanied by proof of a deposit to be paid in at a retailer such as PEP Stores or Ackermans. These are also a SCAM.
There are also advertisements from organisations without approval, offering aviation training to obtain pilot licenses and ratings. South African Flight Training Academy (with approval number CAA/0271) is one such organisation, which advertises its services, which was closed down by the SACAA years ago.
Please take note that aviation training must be conducted under the auspices of a SACAA approved Aviation Training Organisation (“ATO”). The approval must be granted in terms of the South African Civil Aviation Regulations, 2011 and associated Technical Standards. It is an offence to advertise aviation training without proper approval and displaying the SACAA approval number.
When considering training with a service provider, please ask for proof of the SACAA approval. You can also verify approved service providers by contacting the SACAA.
As some training organisations cease operations and new entrants come, an up-to-date verification of the training approval can be sent by email to PEL.Training@caa.co.za. In the subject line of your email, please use “VERIFICATION OF TRAINING APPROVAL”
Inappropriate Qualification of Flight Simulation Devices and Credits to FSTDS
Please click here to read a notice relating to inappropriate qualification of flight simulation training devices and award of training credits to FSTDS.
Pilot Aptitude Testing
An argument often raised by training providers is that training itself constitutes the most realistic assessment and selection platform. But failure costs mount as the student progresses into the training. Also, the argument itself is not supported by facts, as selection during the training process generates low values of predictive validity. Flight instructors may be able to judge specific flying skills or competencies of a candidate over time but due to the variable nature of multiple factors in this approach, a standardized assessment is difficult to produce. Frequent instructor changes and insufficient instructor experience and training in aptitude testing make it impossible to reliably diagnose important measuring dimensions such as personality traits, socio-interactive abilities and basic or specific mental abilities.
Many cadets manage to get a license despite some challenges during training, and as their flying experience increases, they learn to compensate for their weaknesses in normal operations. However, their deficiencies may resurface (several deficiencies may even compound or overlap) when the pilot encounters complex challenging situations with high performance demand, especially during times of fatigue and stress. The more reliable and cost-effective solution is to perform professional aptitude testing for candidates prior to the start of their training.
Below find guidance material for consideration. ATO’s and Operators are invited to give feedback toPEL.Training@caa.co.za regarding their experiences, concerns or suggestions.
