ATTIE NIEMANN

Born in Pretoria on 7th November 1961. From a very young age he wanted nothing else but to fly fighters and many a day could be found dreaming about aircraft at local Wonderboom Airport. He says he was very fortunate to be involved in flying from a young age.

He joined the military in 1980 and was selected for SAAF Pilot training where he obtained wings in 1982

and qualified on Harvards and Impala Jet Aircraft. Selected for fighter pilot training and graduated from Impala Operational Conversion Course and soon progressed to Impala Flight Leaders Course where he finished with top honours in 1984. One of only 2 students selected to advance to the much sought after Mirage Operational Conversion (due to the Cheetah project) and in 1985 transferred to 2 Sqn Afb Hoedspruit to commence his Mirage OCC and qualified on Mirage 111 CZ and BZ fighter aircraft and then transferred to Mirage F1CZ at 3 Sqn AFB Waterkloof. Attie flew 21 Operational Combat Missions during the Angolan war. During the 1991 International AAD he was the SAAF solo display pilot on the Mirage F1CZ. He also studied for his SA Commercial and FAA ATP license and later on was fortunate enough to do many a ferry of various types of aircraft from the US and other countries to South Africa.

He studied B Comm. part time at Unisa and with his entrepreneurial spirit soon started his own Construction Company and after selling it, started a successful Aircraft Charter business. In 1998 he sold Streamline Aviation with 24 Aircraft including 4 x Casa235 Aircraft to Imperial through its Aviation Division and joined National Airways & Finance Corporation as a shareholder and was appointed Group Executive Director Operations. Under his leadership NAC expanded its Fixed Wing and Helicopter Charter and International Operations to a large and very successful operation with over 100 aircraft and 300 Aircrew operating in many countries all over the globe. In 2002 he also became a board member of 43 Air School after leading the team that acquired 43 Air School for the NAFCO group. He was instrumental in many of the ambitious projects at 43 during that period including establishment of 43 Advanced Training and 43 has been one of his passions ever since. In 2009 he was appointed Group CEO of 43 Air School.

He is engaged to Lisa and between them they have 3 boys Neil (22), Ruben (15) and Peter -John (10). Flying and owning Vintage and Classic aircraft is but one of his interests and he loves nothing more that sharing an open cockpit in a Stearman with one of the many young students or cadet’s at 43. Soon after taking the helm at 43 he reintroduced the 1943 slogan of “Work Hard Play Hard” although in a slightly updated form of “Work Smart Play Hard”. He says that he was very fortunate in life to be able to mix flying and business and appreciates the privilege of being able to work and learn from the best in aviation and business every day.

43 Air School now provides South Africa’s only SACAA Approved Integrated ATP course for both Fixed Wing and Rotor wing aircraft. In compliance with CATS 61 FCL Appendix 3, our integrated programme offers the most effective route to a professional pilot license.

All students study and write only 11 examinations at the All students study and write only 11 examinations at the theoretical knowledge standard for the Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) versus the traditional examination route requiring 22 exams at three levels. On completion of the 54 week syllabus, the graduate will hold a SACAA Commercial Pilot’s Licence with Instrument Rating (CPL/IR) – which can be referred to as a ‘Frozen ATP’. This allows the straight foallows the straight forward issue of the ATPL qualification as soon as the mandatory minimum flying experience has been achieved.

Applicants for this course do not require previous flying experience. It is what is known as an "ab initio" course - meaning "from the beginning". However, if you already have a PPL, you can join the course once having completed abridgement training. Globally, the Integrated ATP training programme is well respected, as it offers a higher standard of graduate pilot.

When Mr. Piper introduced the Piper Cub in 1937, he had a dream. He felt that everyone should fly. And he believed that Piper could provide everyone with that freedom.

Still keeping his dream alive today, Piper Aircraft is the only general aviation manufacturer to offer a complete line of aircraft to help realize the flying dreams of most any pilot. From rugged, reliable trainers to high-performance turbo-props, and the new PiperJet, Piper creates the highest quality craft for everyone -- from new pilots to adventure-seekers to serious business travellers.

There is a feeling that everyone at Piper shares, a torch that has been passed from generation to generation. A feeling of wonder, of veneration, of excitement, of personal commitment to the dream. From the head office to the factory floor, there is an understanding that we at Piper are not just making a thing – we’re making magic. We’re making freedom. We’re making dreams come true. We’re giving them wings.

“Had the best 7 months of my life at 43 Air School. After leaving 43, managed to find work after only 2 months, after handing out no fewer than 100 CV’s! Initially worked as an a/c loader, and wash boy, but eventually ended up flying. Hit 1000hrs in no time, then did my then Senior Comm, and after flying money around, and some charter work, landed my first decent job on B707’s.

Then flew for Phoenix Airways on B727’s, and then also B727’s for SAFAIR. Got into SAA in 1998 (after my 3rd interview), this time with some decent jet time under my belt. From PPL to SAA took 6 years, quite quick really, but hard work and luck played a huge part.”
