Welcome to the Aero Club!

Aero Club of South Africa

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. 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!

The past year, the Aero Club again honoured its commitment to its members and indeed solidified the future of private and sport aviation in South Africa.

The Aero Club offer:

  • Safeguarding our regulations, airspace and freedom of over regulation.
  • Preserving and developing private and recreational aviation.
  • Forge relationships with the Authorities in aviation such as the Civil Aviation Authority, the Air
    Traffic and Navigation Services Company, the South African Weather Services and the
    Department of Sport and Recreation.
  • Extending collective bargaining power to sections when engaging authorities on a variety of legal
    and technical issues.
  • Ensuring affordable third-party legal liability insurance scheme to Microlight, Gyroplane,
    Experimental and light aircraft.
  • Carrying professional Indemnity insurance for members.
  • Represent all sections on National and International forums and bodies.
  • Putting together a full Annual Report.

In order to exercise our mandate, the Aero Club involves itself with a variety of committees, work
groups and meetings.

Doing whatever it takes to PRESERVE FREE FLIGHT!
