Protect | Administer | Promote

Welcome

The Aero Club of South Africa is fundamental for recreational pilots who fly for the passion, and mostly fund their activities privately. With limited time to monitor governmental actions, the Aero Club protects pilots’ rights to the freedom of flight.

Established in 1920 by dedicated aviators, it remains crucial in defending recreational aviation rights and is recognised by various governmental and international bodies. The Aero Club engages in multiple forums addressing aspects like safety, airspace design, regulations, and medical standards, thus ensuring a unified voice for recreational aviation in South Africa.

By uniting the enthusiasm of our members, we pursue specific central objectives:

– Protecting and Preserving
– Oversight and Administration
– Promoting and Growing aviation sports and recreational pursuits.

We ensure your passion for flying stays sky-high!
