Comments from the Chairman of MISASA

Please navigate to our website governance page. We have updated several documents relevant to the MISASA ARO. In particular, a revised constitution. Changes in the industry have necessitated a constitutional revamp. We urge you to read through the proposed document and kindly pass comments to me at chairman@misasa.org

As a leading recreational aviation stakeholder, MISASA is intimately involved with interaction with CAA.

Be SAFE and SAFETY Minded

Given the fact that we have included NTCA representation up to a MTOW of 1663kg's, we thus make provision for PRODUCTION BUILT NTCA aircraft such as the Bushbaby Safari, Jabiru 4 series, Sling 2 & 4 and Vans Aircraft to name but a few.
