Sispanys,
On the contrary, I found their choice of aircraft to be rather impressive. Allot of the schools in the Middle East have had performance issues with their aircraft for the simple fact that most old & dying PA28s, C152/172s under perform in this part of the world because of the the weather being so hot & humid. Allot of schools have had to actually call off flights due to conditions exceeding aircraft climatic restrictions. You cant afford to have down time when your on an intensive integrated course of training.
The Cirrus SR22 is what they use for primary single engine flight training. It's fitted with a Continental IO-550 which delivers 310HP and is an all glass-cocpit aircraft. I don't think anyone is going to be complaining!
The more advanced portions of flight training (CPL/IR) is conducted on a twin engined (turbine) Eclipse 500 which has just recently won European EASA approval. This is unheard of within the realms of civil flight training. You never hear of ab-intio cadets who experience 50 hours worth of
real jet time before they even start their Type Rating.
There's a good article about DAE in a magazine called
Civil Aviation Training.
