I'm so glad that you found value in this. :-)

You're in matric now! All the best.

I am in grade 11 this year...what happened to you? This is my only career choice 😭

im also in grade 11this year ..just weighing out the options here ​@katmk9648

Thank you kindly 💕

Brilliant Well done!!

Thank you so much.

Hi there. Yes we do training in order to be deemed competent on the Ejection Seat. Since it is a last resort during an emergency, not everyone makes use of the Ejection seat. Yes, the Pilatus PC 7 MKII and the Hawk MK120 has the capability to perform aerobatic maneouvres and to conduct inverted flight (i.e. To fly upside down). Yes you may apply into the SAAF if you meet the minimum requirements, however your training will start from scratch since the Air Force doesn't credit you for civilian flying experience.

Yes, if you are applying for the first time. However, if you have already been flying and your vision deteriorates then you can fly with aid.

Thanks for subbing! :-)

@@WingedSpanner Hi i am busy doing my 2nd year in Engineering at UKZN, but i applied for SAAF at the beginning of this year, i really need advice...

Yes if you have a CPL they will consider you.

Use all you latest reports. So if you're in gr 11 send your 1st term and 2nd term report as well as you final gr10 report. That way they can gauge your performance and encourage them to keep you on their watchlist.

Yes you may :-)

Thank very much Commander Mandisa 😘

No you may join the SAAF straight from High School.

@@WingedSpanner oh, one more question, is it possible to join the air force and still be enrolled in uni?

I'll do a video on this. 😇

Yes of course. Civil licensing is not a requirement for applicants to be trained by the Air Force.

you can download them from this link saairforce.co.za/recruitment

They are closing on the 30th of June...you can get the forms on the internet..just Google S.A military airforce...

Okay once i get the forms where do I send them?

Yes.

Yes you may. As long as you meet the minimum requirements to be pilot, you may remuster.

Yes. :-)

@@WingedSpanner Thank u so much love u do u fly everyday or how often do u fly

Maths and Physics are the requirements because of the nature of our work. However, if she would consider going via the private sector they might be able to assist if she has pure maths at the very least.

But if u have flight experience and good airmanship then they should accept u

@@tsebomoloi3410 Hi are u also in the air force or u a pilot

You may apply while you're in matric.

@@WingedSpanner i would like to know if there are any bursaries or how are the costs of becoming a fighter pilot covered?

@@mbalidlamini1248 The Air Force trains you themselves... it's not a bursary as such but rather when you qualify you to have to serve a contractual obligation in return. Applications are now open until the 30th of July 2021.

Yes, you may still join.

No you don't need a license and once you complete your engineering degree, you'll still have the opportunity to become a pilot open to you.

@@WingedSpanner ok thanks 😊 👌 🙏

I'm sorry she didn't reply but what's up how did it go man? I'm also going to be applying soon with my Gr11 marks

Hi there Kenneth. You may inbox me on my Instagram @WingedSpanner

13 years.

@@WingedSpanner So the contract is 13 years and exactly how long is the training before you are given the contract

It depends on how your course progress. But on average 4 years of training.

Doubtful, they said Physics is absolutely necessary for it

"Loadmasters are responsible for preparation of freight (ie inspections and palletising of freight) to allow for safe on-loading and off-loading. Their duties include the supervision of aircraft handling loading to ensure that cargo is tied down with the correct restraint to withstand the 'g' force which might be encountered during flight or in an emergency. They are also responsible to ensure that the mass of the cargo is correctly distributed so that the aircraft centre of gravity remains within the acceptable range for flight. Grade 12 Mathematics Literacy, NSC level 4 is essential." Source: www.saairforce.co.za/recruitment/support

Yes, fairly so. You have to have 20/20 vision without the assistance of spectacles or laser surgery if you're still in the recruitment phase.

@@WingedSpanner thank you so much!

@@WingedSpanner Do they use the snellen chart to test for 20/20 vision?

I'll do a video on this too.

@@WingedSpanner Thank u so much Pls do

Yes. Most definitely!

@@WingedSpanner Thank you very much for the response .

@@WingedSpanner Hi Mandisa, So is it ok to apply even if I’m still doing my qualification? Because this year it’s my last year and considering that the applications are for next year (2022), also I don’t want to wait then next year the applications are not available next year bese umuntu uyahlala😅

@@MG-sd3xx usale walunga bafo?

Yes, since you're doing tertiary studies the age limit will be extended to 26 years. 22 is the limit for those who only have matric.

If you have maths then you have the opportunity to become an air traffic controller available to you. If not you may pursue careers such as HR, Hospitality, Intelligence, just to name a few.

Thank you so much for the suggestions 🙏

@@WingedSpanner is air traffic a good career path according to you?

You may email info@wingedspannermerch.com

Hello there Cebo. It should be permissible if you're 22 by the time you start your training. The APS score depends on the career (i.e. mustering) you're applying for. However, use the minimum subject requirement as mentioned. It's not the same criteria as that used by universities, however, the more attractive your academic record, the better your chances.

Understood Major, thank you very much for responding and for your service

Yes they can still consider you.

Yes you get to decide, However the outcome depends on your aptitude and the requirements of the SAAF. Yes I chose the Combat Stream :-) and was fortunate enough to be accepted.

@@WingedSpanner Oh ok so how do I send the SAAF my reports and get them to recognise me?

@@qadira2264 i also want to know that information because i am in grade 11 and I'd like to send my term 2 n 4 results Any help @Mandisa

@@lulama3267 ya cause i also want to apply and send my results but I don't know how she they must show us step by step

@@qadira2264 yo guys how did it go? Did y'all apply?

If you go the civilian route, you may have a chance. Otherwise you may consider another career in the SAAF.

Mathematics, Physics, pattern recognition and English application questions. Some try to evaluate your ability to recognize spatial association. If you google Psychometric test. There are a few that come up. Try them to get an idea of what to expect. Blessed be!

@@WingedSpanner thank you

@@katlegosako9278 you're welcome :-)

Can we use a calculator in the psychometric tests??

There are other careers you may consider. Have a look here: www.saairforce.co.za/recruitment/support

Yes. You may join straight from matric, without a Private Pilot licence

@@WingedSpanner thank you major I am very inspired by you even the defiance story pushed me to my limit ❤️👑

Yes you may.

Have embarked on tertiary studies?

Nothing. :-) The Air Force recruits you so they handle the cost of your training. In return you serve a contract upon qualifying.

@@WingedSpanner i applied....I hope they take me 🤗🤗🤗🤗

The Hawk Mk120

@@WingedSpanner ok be safe. Will talk again

Would love to see my sister in action one day maybe at an Airshow..

Been a while Operator. Thought you deployed overseas.. Kunjani Sisi..

Promoted already or not?

Wait can you please elaborate more on this Did they tell you what you're supposed to study for the test?

@@Master_K14 Thanks for your question God bless you , they didn't told me that we are doing to write the test even I don't what mark I scored . I was not aware that we are going to write any test . They sent invitation message via WhatsApp ,I thought they would check medical fitness such as hearing and Vision because I saw only medical fitness and mathematics ,English and physical sciences level 4 in the application form requirements as she mentioned its in her KZfaq channel . My family is very poor is looked to me for the change I worked very hard to achieve Grade 12 ,I have Maths level 6,English and Physical science level 5 .I don't have any plan B i have only one dream to become a fighter pilot so without my dream I'm died everyday when I'm hungry and my young brothers i use to look the image of Jas 39 gripen because to me it show the hope .I loss everything because without my dream I'm nothing .

@@WingedSpanner But I'm working on improving my marks at the moment. But then with all the violence at the moment it's very difficult

Hello there Claire. I feel that this is a projection from a harrowing place. I am sorry that your experiences have compelled you to leave a comment like this. The accusation of disrespect should warrant some introspection from yourself. No story is the same as any other. Please respect my platform or express your distaste elsewhere. Regards.

Hey bro, you good?

Thank you 🙏

I hope all is well bro 🙏❤
