Welcome to the Aero Club!

Welcome to the Aero Club of South Africa, South Africa's National Federation for Sport and Recreational Aviation

The Aero Club of South Africa is a composite body constituting all sectors of sport, recreational and private aviators. It is the combined force of all its sections, from power flight to gliding, ballooning to modeling.

First and foremost our primary responsibility is to our members, and this basically entails safeguarding, preserving and developing private and recreational aviation. Nobody does more to promote general aviation than the Aero Club, its sections and its members. The successes we have enjoyed are a direct result of the commitment of our section leaders, our members, and their passion for free flight!

In order to exercise our mandate, the Aero Club involves itself with a variety of committees, work groups and meetings. Aero Club forges relationships with the Authorities in aviation such as the Civil Aviation Authority, the Air Traffic and Navigational Services Company, the South African Weather Services and the Department of Sport and Recreation.
