What about the other way around?
To turn the question on its head, how does one convert a JAR-FCL PPL(A) into a UAE GCAA PPL?
I've scoured the GCAA website without much success, as it doesn't appear to be a common question. Although, then again is it really necessary? I've merely assumed that because the United Arab Emirates aren't a JAA country, that I wouldn't be able to hire UAE-registered aeroplanes on the back of a JAR-FCL PPL.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
