NO I think once you are in Al Ain there will be nothing for you to do but study. So from a theoretical standpoint your aviation knowledge base will be strong, however with regards to flying I know how each person (instructor) has a different flying style even though there may be a syllabus. I don't think the flying will be a problem. Our job will be to take everything in their job is to flight instruct. This is obviously a very intense program because in most cases there are people going form zero to hero, hero being a A320 first officer.The flying should not be that strict at all though so there is no need top worry. Each hour will have a purpose and a lesson to be learned so you can bet that the majority of the flight training will be maneuvers and not straight and level, point to point sightseeing. I do however feel use of the autopilot will be encouraged so if you can't get the flying aspect of the training it won't be the end of the world.
