43 Airschool - Learn to fly | Pilot Training | Advanced Training

It is with great sadness that we announce that our former colleague and friend, Russell Langley, passed away last evening.

Russell joined 43 Air School on 01 February 2003. He was highly respected throughout the entire company and was, in fact, seen by many who worked with him as an aviation icon.

His contributions to this company during his years of dedicated and selfless services as Standards and later Chief Flying Instructor, Designated Examiner, Advisor and as friend to many, will not be forgotten.

Our sincere condolences to Barbara and their children on their great loss.

43 will now offer to all students that have finished Phase 6 successfully this additional module that we believe is essential to all prospective Pilots wanting to further improve their general flying and handling skills. This will also be available to all interested 43 Instructors.

SA Express Airline informed the school on 23 March 2010 that 43 Air School has been awarded the tender to train their cadet pilots. The awarded tender is for the training of 10 cadet pilots per year over a three year period. The training is set to commence at 43 Air School's Port Alfred campus during April 2010.

It was a very proud moment for Mrs Tersia Strydom of Johannesburg when her son Andre emerged from ZS-SVB seconds after having heard from the CAA designated examiner that he had passed his Commercial Pilots Licence and Instrument Rating Flight Tests. What made it very special indeed was that a few hours before, Mrs Strydom's daughter, Riette, had exactly the same good news for her mother!
