UgCAA are somewhat slow off the mark, I agree. Training is going on ok though, despite some rather peculiar stabs at interpretation of the regs by certain members of the CAA in Ebb. They haven't yet had the bottle to argue that the instructor and PIC, whilst the same person, may be flying under two licences - Ugandan for PIC and FAA instructor for the instruction bit... the CAA were challenged to explain to the FAA that they were going to curb the rights of FAA certificate holders, but in the end just kept quiet.

So you can easily train in Uganda, if you want, but if it is a matter of validation of a UK licence then renting a plane for some flying then, yes, Uganda is quite amazing, and quite practical.

And in recent weeks we seemed to have effectively done away with the nonsensical military clearance palaver, so you can just jump in and launch off.
