ANAC Gabon strengthens oversight of aeronautical training organizations in South Africa

The National Civil Aviation Agency ANAC Gabon recently conducted an inspection mission in Johannesburg, South Africa, targeting two aeronautical training organizations. This operation aimed to assess compliance with current regulatory requirements for the training standards of commercial flight personnel PNC and technical flight personnel PNT. The first phase, on April 13 and 14, focused on Flitedux Aviation Training, an organization specializing in PNC training. The audit was for the renewal of its accreditation, which had expired. Inspectors examined the quality management system, the competence of the supervisory staff, and the application of approved training programs. The internal organization and the role of the training manager were also reviewed. On April 16 and 17, the ANAC Gabon team continued with the evaluation of SIMAERO TRAINING, a structure dedicated to the training of technical flight personnel, with a focus on the CRJ-200 aircraft type. This inspection covered facilities, flight simulators, educational tools, as well as the management of training records and archiving procedures. Both organizations cooperated during the audits. Observations were made and must be addressed within deadlines set by the inspectors. Following this process, Flitedux Aviation Training is expected to receive its accreditation renewal, while SIMAERO TRAINING is anticipated to be certified as an approved training organization ATO, subject to final validation of the reports.
