Are not the guys at NATS just wonderful! Thank the Lord they did not recommend the guy to have (with emphasis) a dangerous flight. Get a life, it is your types attitude that has taken the Great out of Great Britain. Just think where we would be had Columbus, Alcock etc listened to the PC and Health and Safety sect. There is I know a GA to ATPL flight school in Al Ain. It is an area that suffers from more or less continual sand ingress as a result of desert winds. Cessnas, A320, A340 B777 all use the facility on a daily basis no problems have been recorded. And before you do, sand can rise to serious flight levels during dust storms and often does. Maybe they fly safe because Nats and the others mentioned are not located out there!
