g109, really why? It worked for me with the time and availability that I had. If you factor in flights, accommodation and limited vacation days. Learning in the UAE was actually a better option.
Ipflyer, I believe that you'd have to transfer your license or start the process to transfer to a GCAA one to fly. And get a GCAA medical, which are easy enough to sort out. As for renting a plane, you just book in and they reserve you a slot. It was all done over WhatsApp with their flight operations. I ended up just staying current doing 3 TO and Landings every 90 days, when covid kicked in that put paid to that as I'm in Abu Dhabi and getting across the border was, and still is, a pain in the nose!
Future plans are to transfer my license to a UK compliant one and fly there. More freedom and cheaper prices. And I can take my family along with me in the front, without an instructor.
