Not sure about the details.. but from what I asked him and know, they have approx 8 pipers ( a mix of warrior's and archers ) ... He said they have ordered 2-3 more pipers and are awaiting delivery.

Seems like a good flight school to me.. However, I will be going on a "pleasure flight" with an instructor on Sunday so lets see how that goes. Shall post me opinions then.

They do not have enough planes to satisfy the demand ( he said they have approx 40 students per batch ). Hence, they work out a schedule for permanent students. If i'm not wrong, I think the students are allowed to fly max three times a week or something to that effect.

Also, bought a UAE VFR chart from them and it wasnt what I expected it to be. Vast portions of the chart was dedicated to the desert with the cities looking really small..... This might sound stupid, but I personally think they should have zoomed in a little and given a more detailed view of the cities..

On second thoughts, I guess it was fine. I'm probably just used to looking at the filled and congested US sectionals.
