I wanted to go up flying with a FAA PPL last year and went to the flight school at Dubai Airport Terminal 2 last year.. The guy took my passport photo and details to obtain security clearance. It took a week for me to get that clearance after which I went up flying with him. While he was a nice guy and the Piper aircraft were very well maintained, I wouldn't recommend Dubai for a flight since its way too busy. We spent 15 min doing a VFR hold and another 5-10 min holding short of the runway.

What aircraft does the Fujairah Aviation academy have? Are there other flight schools in the UAE other than the one in Dubai that have Piper Warriors? I've heard there's a flying club in RAK. Is that any good?
