GV/G550 reccurent in CAE/DXB

Hi Guys,

I saw this topic before, but maybe here is sbdy with fresh experience.

I will have my GV rec soon in DXB. ANybody knows what to expect or what special to prepare? My previous recs were in FSI Wilmington/ SAV, pretty nice and easy, but no idea what to expect in DXB, this time..

Thanx

Well I don't know about the recurrent, but if it's the same CAE that's opposite the Irish Village, take your drinking goggles

GV or G550

In general the GV sim is only available one week a month, or less....usual config is as G550.

As mentioned the building is next door/x street from a major drinking den. beware.....

You will be collected from hotel, and driven to centre, and returned home after sessions...you can ask for a delayed return for social reasons.

The ground school: is OK, dont expect to get too excited.

There is a canteen in the building, good lunches, and lots of EK CC to keep you entertained, nice view of the creek too. Free voucher for the cateen every day... ask the staff whats available, as you can get al a carte, if you ask.
Snack bar, with coffee, soft drinks, and the same selection of choc and butties as always....Thai Chicken being the best....
Internet terminals, and wifi, (ask for password).

The sim sessons: ok, and assuming you have a second trainee you will use all of the slot time, if you and buddy plan on an early return to hotel.

FAA or JAA: little to tell, they same requirements as in USA.

Which hotel: There are plenty that you could be using, the Hyatt is this months preference, but if available the JW Marriott is often the choice of crew.

Entertainment after hours: Dubai is loaded with entertainment... JWM being closer than Hyatt.

Feel free to PM, if more details are needed.
