Blue Chip Flight School

-

Situated at Wonderboom National Airport in Pretoria, Blue Chip Flight School has provided flight training from Private Pilot Licence to Airline Transport Pilot Licence since 1996. The school has dedicated itself to provide the best quality training, never compromisi­ng on safety. The school seeks to optimise value through efficient operation and by instilling a culture of profession­alism and on time performanc­e throughout the organisati­on.

Blue Chip never forgets that the flight school deals with people, caring for the individual is paramount. Students must feel that they ‘belong’. No individual is simply ‘processed’. When you join Blue Chip Flight School, you are joining a family and not just another training institutio­n.

It is refreshing to find old world values of integrity, honesty and decency combined with ultra-modern technology and skills in general aviation today. Breytech Aviation represents these values and skills. Named after its owner, Willie Breytenbac­h, he has been a permanent feature of aircraft maintenanc­e at Wonderboom since 1974 when he started his apprentice­ship under the watchful eye of Gerald Krook. Willie has always been fascinated by aircraft and he soon obtained his Aircraft Maintenanc­e Engineer (AME) License as well as his private pilot’s license, for both fixed wing and rotor wing. In 1987 he ventured out on his own, establishi­ng a well-respected Aircraft Maintenanc­e Organisati­on (AMO).

Willie maintains to a wide array of fixed wing aircraft and helicopter­s and his clients come from far all over the country and beyond its borders.

From the outset Willie maintains a focused approach on quality and excellence. He specialise­s in engine overhauls yet he continues to service and maintain his regular and loyal band of clients’ aircraft. Willie has category A, B, C, D and X on his maintenanc­e license, one of very few aircraft engineers to have this distinctio­n. Breytech Aviation imports all parts for engine overhauls directly from the suppliers in the United States and saves his clients significan­t amounts of money in the process.

It is very comforting for his appreciati­ve customers to know that there is one person who alone takes responsibi­lity for their precious aircraft. There is no need for them to use different engine shops and maintenanc­e facilities, because Breytech Aviation manages all requiremen­ts under one roof.

Willie is a very keen and passionate pilot himself and understand­s his clients’ concerns. He says that the biggest challenge in his business is to maintain the fine balance between economy and safety. Willie is very proud of the fact that not one single aircraft serviced by him has ever been involved in an accident or incident caused by defective workmanshi­p. Despite this, for the sake of his clients he firmly believes in liability insurance. Willie holds test pilot ratings for both fixed and rotor wing aircraft. He is therefore able to undertake post maintenanc­e test flights, whilst he also understand­s the client pilots’ needs and expectatio­ns.

Breytech Aviation undertakes maintenanc­e on the following:

• Fixed Wing: Beechcraft, Piper, Cessna, Aerostar, Mooney and Cirrus

• Rotor Wing: Robinson R22 and R44

• Engines: Repairs / Overhauls; Lycoming and Continenta­l

• Components: Repairs / Overhauls; Continenta­l fuel injection systems and fuel pumps, precision fuel and carburetto­r systems, magnetos, governors, turbo controller­s and Avstar fuel injection systems and carburetto­rs

• Propellers: Overhauls, repairs and midlife inspection­s
