Members are reminded that annual membership renewal falls due on 1 April 2012. The PASA fees for the 2012/13 membership year have been set as follows:

PASA fees:

PASA members:                                              R430
Military members with PASA ratings:                R430
Military members with no PASA ratings:            R100

As in the past, we will collect Aero Club fees and pay them across on behalf of our members.

Aero Club fees:

PASA members with a licence:                        R300
PASA members with no licence:                       R   0
Military/SAPS members with a licence:             R150
Military members with no licence:                     R   0

New licence/rating application fees and rating renewal fees for all ratings remain unchanged at R100 (except Jumpmaster, Coach and Evaluator ratings for which there is no renewal fee). New tandem rating applications remain unchanged at R600.

We are implementing a new admin system for renewal this year which should streamline the process. Some final tweaks and adjustments are currently being made and we will get the renewal process underway as soon as possible but no later than 23 March - please bear with us. All current members with a valid, listed email address will receive an automated email renewal reminder containing a link which you will need to click on in order to update your data online. Once updated, you will be prompted to make the required payment. For those members who have no ratings to renew or who are not applying for any new licences or ratings, this will be all that is required. (If you did not provide an email address on your last renewal form or, if your email address has changed in the past year, please drop a line to admin@para.co.za confirming your correct email address.)

If you are renewing an existing rating or applying for a new licence or rating, you will be prompted to make payment and print page 2 of the PASA General Application Form which you will still need to get signed by your Chief Instructor and submit to the admin office via fax or email as in the past.

New members joining for the first time, or those without a valid, listed email address will need to download and complete the PASA General Application Form (Form 2), complete and submit to the admin office via email or fax.
