The ceremony will include a series of events over two days. “The academy, which will rely on state-of-the-art aircraft, training facilities and equipment, aims to produce a cadre of highly skilled pilots who are disciplined and who practice superior aeronautical decision-making skills,” said William Roe, SAFA managing director. A joint venture between the SAC and the private sector, SAFA has placed a purchase order for the new generation of DA42 and DA40 aircraft to equip the flight school.
