Frequently Asked Questions

Important purchase, training and finance questions.

Are prices inclusive of VAT?
Training prices shown on this page exclude VAT. Product, delivery and service quotations must clearly state whether each amount includes or excludes VAT.
Does EDSSA deliver nationally?
National delivery may be arranged subject to product, destination, courier or transport requirements. The delivery method, insurance and charge must be confirmed in the quotation.
Is training compulsory?
Training needs depend on the aircraft, application, operator experience and any operational or regulatory requirements that apply. Product familiarisation does not replace any separate licence, approval or legal requirement.
Can training take place at our premises?
Client-site training may be possible when the location is suitable and the required equipment, permissions, safety conditions and operating area are available. EDSSA must confirm the arrangement before booking.
Are travel and accommodation included?
No. Travel, accommodation, venue and related costs are excluded unless the written quotation expressly includes them.
What warranty applies?
Warranty depends on the selected product, supplier and manufacturer terms. The applicable warranty and exclusions should be provided or referenced in the accepted quotation and supporting documents.
Can existing equipment be traded in?
Possibly. EDSSA must first identify and assess the equipment, serial numbers, ownership, condition, battery health, completeness and resale or support status. A trade-in is not guaranteed.
How long does finance approval take?
Approval time depends on the finance provider, application completeness, applicant profile and any additional documents requested. EDSSA should not promise a fixed approval time.
Can EDSSA quote for clients outside Cape Town?
Yes. EDSSA can prepare quotations for clients across South Africa. Delivery, travel, training location and support requirements are confirmed in writing before purchase.
