Mike park, i would say there are three things that made me to choose Horizon over any FTO in UAE,
first The academy follows a Jar syllabus, courses & the curriculm is approved by GCAA, while other do FAA in UAE where i live.. am doing ground school now with AFE books thats been given by Horizon.
2: Horizon well knowen in UAE that they have the best instroctors hired for the buissnes . as far as i heard.
reason 3 is piloting the glass cockpit G1000 Cessna..
