Learning to Fly in Ghana

WAASPS is the first operator to offer the Ghana National Flying licence or PUP. Flying aircraft in the sub-500kg category with 2 seats and full three axis control you can learn the skills necessary to move on to further licenses. Similar to the USA LSA rating the Ghana PUP carries certain credit towards further licenses (PPL, CPL, etc) but above all provides flying skills in a cost effective and safe manner using modern machines with outstanding performances. More and more pilots agree that these machines are the best 'first planes' due to their forgiving nature and quick responses. our primary trainers are powered by Rotax 912 engines, quiet, economical, using lead free, locally available fuels and are amongst the most environmentally friendly aircraft engines in the world.

Our grass runways (19/01 and 29/11) are maintained to the highest standards and are constantly being improved! Here you see AA on solo ops with a Ghanaian student soon to get his licence!	Briefing room, tower, hangar and apron at Kpong Field - why waste time taxiing long distances and having to fly away from the airfield to excercise areas? Our site was created as a training facility and saves you money as you enjoy your learning!

To book your trial flight call us on +233 (0)28 5075254, we fly most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (soon Tuesday to Sunday) but do ask that you call before setting out to avoid disappointment due to weather or other factors. You can read a bit more below and download your pilot application form! Oh, and to answer your question about costs - it costs from $100 for a trial flight and to get your first pilots licence costs from $7,000 depending on you, your learning style, speed and cash flow!
