Conferences and Workshops (Pilots)

General

The SACAA will be hosting conferences for DFEs and for Flight instructors (FIs) as indicated below.
The aim of these conferences is to update DFEs and FIs on the requirements of Part 61 and to facilitate discussion that will lead to the adherence to and raising of training and testing standards.
Please note that there will be considerable overlap between the DFE and FI conferences, and that the conferences held in the second half of the year will be a repeat of those held in the first half.
Due to financial constraints, DFEs and FIs are only entitled to attend one conference per CAA financial year.
