Interesting, thanks. Also Dubai-based, I did my PPL back in the UK in 2019 with plans to build hours and experience with various trips out of the UAE. Given up on that for now with Covid and so ended up not flying since my skills test. Do you know if EAS do hour-building or hourly rental, even with an instructor? Can't see much on their website. I know it's going to be eye watering here, but thinking an hour a month of circuits or simple local flight, just to blow off the cobwebs. I'm assuming landing fees anywhere round here aren't going to be pleasant either?
What's your plan now you have the licence, if you don't mind me asking?
