Question posted in the Insurance Law category relating to Gauteng
I am a South African citizen.
I am 18
Basically I would like to start up a remote control plane club, and be the chairman and safety officer of said club.
However the ARO (organisation that handles the RC side of aviation for the CAA)
States that I need to be 21, to be a majority and not a minor, and to be legally responsible for the club.
I cannot find anything that says that, as far as I can tell the age of majority is currently 18. It seems it used to be 21 but that has since changed.
What is your legal opinion.
