South Africa: Six Rhino Killed in Just One Night in Kwazulu-Natal Reserve

Horn poachers have killed another six rhino in a single night shoot-up in KwaZulu-Natal's flagship Hluhluwe-Imfolozi reserve.

It is understood that 11 gunshots were heard around 00:00 on Sunday. At first light on Monday, Ezemvelo KZN wildlife rangers and anti-poaching units went to where the gunshots had been heard and found six dead rhino.

All their horns had been hacked off and removed by the poaching gangs.

Ezemvelo spokesperson Musa Mntambo confirmed in a brief statement on Tuesday that the six animals had been killed in the Mbhuzane area, in the Imfolozi section of the park.

And? Maybe I should post a few articles on how Kenya only has 1 yes 1 white Rhino left in its entire country due to poaching!!! At least we haven't lost half our wildlife to poaching like Kenya or 99% of our wildlife like Nigeria.

Not all pilots are channelled into the fighter line.

If you cut standards you produce 50 pilots every six months.

SAAF PILOTS TRAINING

Pupil pilots will be stationed at the Central Flying School at Air Force Base Langebaanweg for the Basic Flying Phase (ab initio phase).

The following subjects will be presented:

Ground phase:
-Aerodynamics
-Navigation
-Electronic warefare

Flying Phase:
Pupil pilots will be required to master the Astra, including:
-Simulation exercises
-General flying
-Formations
-Instrument flying
-Navigational flying
-Night flying


Ground School and Flying Phase
It is during this stage that the pupil pilot is introduced to the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II Astra, 60 of which were delivered between October 1994 and the end of 1996. Ground training includes every aspect of flight instruction and makes extensive use of computer based training. A Cockpit Procedural Trainer (CPT) is also used in conjunction with the Astra. Although some 'pupes' may already have a private pilot's license, all are treated as if they have had no previous experience.

The course has been based upon that conducted by the RAF with the Shorts Tucano, adjusted to suite South African conditions. Pupil pilots will be required to master the , Pilatus PC7 MkII Astra trainer. The student pilot will undertake their first solo flight after about 16 hours and during the course of the year will have flown 185 hours in the Astra and spent 40 hours in the CPT.

The course is designed to lead the student through all aspects of flight operations, with ten sections to be mastered. These include formation, high, low level and night flying. The student/instructor ratio is 2:1 during the flying phase. In spite of the demanding syllabus, approximately 75% of the students selected graduate.

Pupil pilots qualify after a period of approximately 2 years and 7 months training and more or less 210 flying hours. Both pilot and navigator courses are completed at the same time when the pupils receive their wings with due pomp and ceremony.

On completion of the flying phase, a selection board will be convened to determine in which line function a pilot will be utilised, namely: Fighter line, Helicopter line (including maritime) or Transport line (including maritime).

Criteria used for the allocation of pilots to various line functions:
Need of the Air Force
Results and achievements on course
Own preference
Recommendation by flying instructor
Pilots will be transferred to one of the following Air Force institutions for further training in their line function, before being utilised at the various squadrons of the SA Air Force:
Fighter line - 85 Combat Flying School
Transport line - 41 Sqn
Helicopter line - Private contractor and 87 Helicopter Flying School.

Advanced Flying Training
After graduation, pilots selected for fighter training are assigned to 85 Combat Flying School, AFB Hoedspruit, for the basic jet conversion course.

Pilots destined to fly helicopters or transports receive instruction with 87 Helicopter Flying School at AFB Bloemspruit (with basic helicopter training performed at Starlight Aviation in Durban) and 41 Squadron at AFB Waterkloof respectively.

The Fighter Orientation Course (FOC) lasts seven months during which the two-seat Hawk is used. Phase One and Two involves conversion to the Hawk, general, instrument, close formation, night flying and medium and low level navigation (three months and 38 hours).

Phase Three is the introduction to basic fighter flying and includes a tactical phase (battle formation, low and medium level tactical flying, pre-planned strike and photo reconnaissance), a weapons phase (bombs, 30mm cannon) and an air warfare phase (fighter manoeuvres and air-to-air firing) (three months and 35 hours).

On completion of this FOC, students will be re-assessed and then either be recommended for instructors course or to gain further experience and return for flight leaders course after 3 years as an instructor or to continue on the consolidation phase prior to the flight leaders course. After a period of 9 months, the selected candidates should be ready to start the next level of training.

Operational Training Course
The phase consists of a further 117 hours over a period of six months.

Consolidation Phase
The phase consists of a further 200 hours over a period of twelve months.

Flight Leaders Course
During the three month (40 hour) flight leader's course, very little theory training is done and it is expected of the student to give lectures and briefings, on which leadership, squadron operation and management is assessed.

During the Tactical Phase, all aspects of tactical flying and weapons delivery are covered, concentrating on leadership aspects. All aspects of single and multiple air combat and leadership aspects are specifically emphasised and assessed during the Air Warfare Phase.

After this course, pilots are once again assessed for maturity and suitability and after another consolidation phase will be routed to a high speed fighter unit for further training or instructors course at the flying school.

Strike Leaders Course
This course consists of 20 hours over one month.

Instructor Qualified Pilots
These candidates follow the same route as above to the Flight Leaders consolidation phase. On completion of this phase, these candidates will do a basic fighter instructor course. This course runs in conjunction with an FOC on which these candidates will give instruction and lectures. The Instructos conversion course lasts 3 months and covers 38 hours.

After completion of this phase, the pilot will serve an instructional tour at 85 CFS of between 2 and 5 years.

Pilot Attack Instructors Course
This course consists of 25 hours over one month.

At least the SANDF is contributing to anti poaching efforts!!

On the other hand your soldier are fvcking poachers!!

do not confuse northern white rhinos with southern white rhino sub-species,

there are only 3 northern white rhinos left in the entire world ,all of them live in Kenya, the last male northern white rhino is one,
they are not native to Kenya , one was brought in from congo for safety the others were from zoo's in the west. they were brought to breed in a protected conservancy

only black rhinos are native to kenya, southern and nothern white rhinos have never lived in Kenya but were imported from western zoo's for conservation and breeding programmes

kenya has more than 400 southern white rhinos ,

so this animal is an african civet ( Civettictis civetta) first time i see this animal

Don't be a Arrow, cut what standards? There are procedures to follow in training a pilot for any platform, with government support NAF is lucky enough to have the funding to train its future pilots in fine academies in the U.S and U.K. last time I checked your non standard cutting Air Force trains its personnel in Cuba.

kenya has more than 400 southern white rhinos ,

Congrats!!! In that case how many black Rhino's do you have left?? 400 maybe?

Also what happened to the rest of your wildlife? In just under 40 years you lost more than 50% of your game......South Africa increased its game population by 5000% in the same time period!

Sorry mate it's not, that was very basic training at a private firm.

Look man I'm not really interested in this SA vs Nigeria degrading banter anymore but each time someone makes a retarrded stament like "train pilot every 2 months" then someone needs to be told off, I don't see why you support such.

You certainly know who caused all this don't you?? I have not seen 1 SAn post a provocative article(and there are plenty) about NAF or even the whole NDF for that matter unprovoked!!

kenya has more than 400 southern white rhinos ,

The present day Northern White Rhinos are not Kenyan but North Western Kenya was once home to the Northern White Rhinos. Unfortunately poaching in Kenya between 1968 and 1976 and civil war in Northern Uganda drove them into extinction.
We are now home to the last Northern White Rhinos and hopefully they will roam Form North Western Kenya to the Central African Republic one day
Southern White Rhinos are indeed not native to Kenya.They have however done very well here and their numbers in Lake Nakuru National Park for example are rising.
Plus, both species are kept in a wild(Southern White Rhinos) or semi -wild(Northern White Rhinos.Semi Wild because they are actually very tame)state.Not like a zoo!!Ol Pejeta and nearby Lewa are like 100,000 ha!!
