Fantastic insight zopenhawer. Thanks!
Just wondering what your circumstances are i.e. are you a PPL holder? Do you have any flying experience?
Also what was your status before you got shortlisted and called to the assessment i.e. was it 'Under Review' or was it 'Blank'?
Did they mention anything about London assessments?
Yes it does seem a little illogical in inviting foreigners to the UAE when they could take the tests in their respective countries or close by.
