Private Pilots License - UAE

[jezzaaa]

Hi all - just arrived in Abu Dhabi a few days ago...would really like to speak to anyone who's done any flight training over here...or people who have a license already and fly over here.

Looking for costs per hour etc and recommendations for a flight school.

Cheers,
J.

Hi,

there are a few flying clubs around. One at the main Dubai airport, one in Fujairah and one in Um Al Quwain that i know of. Possibly one in Ras Al Kaimah and one in Al Ain. Try a search on google.

My advice would be to head for UAQ as the airspace and airport will be a less restrictive place to learn.

Guessing a bit on costs, but i reckon in the region of 600 - 700 dhs per hour.

Rgds.

Thanks Khaosai...much appreciated. Going to see if there's anything at Al Bateen Airport too.
