SACAA Pilot Licence Check

Verify your South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) pilot licence status directly from the official SACAA Personnel Licensing portal. SA Pilot's PilotApp supports PPL (Private Pilot Licence), CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence), ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot Licence), instrument rating and instructor rating verification for pilots across South Africa including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth and George.

Aviation Calculators & Flight Planning Tools

SA Pilot's PilotApp includes a free crosswind calculator and density altitude calculator — essential tools for pre-flight planning at high-altitude South African aerodromes. Enter runway heading, wind direction and wind speed for instant crosswind and headwind calculations, or calculate density altitude for performance planning.

AIP Documents, Weather & Aviation Resources

Access South African AIP GEN, ENR and Aerodrome documents, live weather webcams, ATNS emergency contacts, aviation law resources, CAA Safety Sense leaflets, SARS traveller declaration links and aviation education materials — all free for South African pilots.

About SA Pilot Info

South Africa's free, pilot-built aviation companion app

SA Pilot Info is a free Progressive Web App (PWA) built specifically for South African pilots, student pilots, and aviation enthusiasts. The app brings together the most important aviation tools and resources into one easy-to-use platform that works on any device — iPhone, Android, or desktop — and can be installed directly to your home screen without an app store.

At its core, the app features a SACAA Pilot Licence Verification tool that lets any pilot instantly check the validity of a South African pilot licence by redirecting to the official CAA Personnel Licensing portal. No data is stored — it is a direct, transparent link to the regulator.

The Crosswind Calculator is another key tool, helping pilots quickly compute crosswind and headwind components from any runway heading and reported wind — critical information for safe landing decisions at any South African aerodrome.

SA Pilot Info also curates useful aviation links across four categories: Weather, Flight Planning, Aviation Law, and SACAA resources. These links point to official and authoritative sources, giving pilots one-tap access to METARs, TAFs, NOTAMs, AIP South Africa, aeronautical charts, and more.

The Contacts section provides quick access to critical aviation contacts including ATNS, flight operations centres, and emergency numbers — essential for flight planning and emergencies.

The Study section hosts curated aviation books and educational resources to help student pilots and experienced aviators stay current with regulations, theory, and best practices.

SA Pilot Info is built and maintained by C. Swanepoel, a passionate South African developer & Flight Instructor. The app is completely free to use and is kept alive through voluntary donations and advertising partnerships. No registration is required — just open, install, and fly.

Whether you are a PPL student preparing for your first solo, a CPL holder doing a licence revalidation check, or a seasoned commercial pilot needing a quick weather link — SA Pilot's PilotApp Was built just for you.
