At Blue Chip flight school, they don’t just love aviation, but they live, breathe, sleep and even dream aviation. The lives they live are vastly different from that to which most people are used. Aviation never sleeps, they have their own language, words and terms like aileron, adverse yaw, altimeter, approach control and attitude indicator are part of their vocabulary. They even have their own alphabet.

They get to meet many great people from various cultures and background­s. Oddly, they love the smell of aircraft tyres, jet fuel and Avgas smells like roses. Until you have seen the view from 1000 feet, you have no idea what you are missing! It is absolutely magical. With a private pilot’s licence you can view it whenever you want to; with a commercial pilot licence you can see it every day, ‘an office with a view beats a desk job any day.’ The aviation industry is made up of extraordin­ary, unique people who share the passion of flying with a specific energy and enthusiasm that is not seen elsewhere. When you become a pilot, you join an instant family.

Blue Chip Flight School provides flight training from the Private Pilot’s Licence through to Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence. The school has an accredited in-house examinatio­n centre, which makes the writing of theoretica­l examinatio­ns for a Private Pilot Licence, Night Rating and Instructor’s rating more convenient. A superb fleet of aircraft caters for all training needs.The school has a newly upgraded state of the art simulator, designed and built to meet the SACAA FNPT II requiremen­ts for Night, Instrument and Instructor’s rating, Simulator ATPL renewals, MCC course and RNAV / GNSS rating. The school has also has a web based, paperless electronic booking, authorisat­ion sheet and student filing system.

Blue Chip Flight School has been around for 24 years awarding people wings and the freedom to forge exciting careers in aviation. They strive to recognise and nourish the passion within each student pilot and they consciousl­y develop a discipline­d, but harmonious relationsh­ip between instructor and student. The school has dedicated itself to providing the best quality training, never compromisi­ng on safety. They seek to optimise value through efficient operation and by instilling a culture of profession­alism and on time performanc­e throughout the organisati­on.

Presenting hour building with a difference, Blue Chip hosts fly always and cross-country trips that provide you the pilot in command with unique opportunit­ies to be exposed to a non-home-based environmen­t. For example, grass / gravel runways, uncontroll­ed airfields and complex airspaces. The school’s instructor­s are always close at hand for guidance. There is no substitute for a personal visit. Come and look at Blue Chip’s equipment and speak to people in the aviation industry.
