EASA PPL (A) Ground Examiners - Dubai/Abu Dhabi
Hello all! Great to be a part of the forum as I just joined today...
I am writing as a current EASA PPL (A) student. As I have had to relocate to Abu Dhabi for employment reasons, it was not possible for me to complete all 9 of the light aircraft ground exams in the UK.
As I now have 2 exams yet to be completed, my examiner in the UK has suggested that I contact the forum in order to determine whether there might be any independent examiners based in either Dubai or Abu Dhabi who could set and sign off the final 2 papers. As it is obviously more feasible to complete these here I would like to avoid the expense of having to travel back to the UK to complete these. Perhaps even pilot's who are licensed examiner's flying in on a stop-over could set a paper despite not being based here?
Any advice or contacts (whether flying schools or pilots/certified examiners) in this respect would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Patrick

Whilst it doesn't appear to be EASA, they may know someone who knows someone.... or better still they do have EASA instructors who may still hold FE/GE status.

The Ground Exams are only held by RFs and ATOs, not by individual examiners. Under the EASA rules; FCL.025 you can only take an exam when recommended by the school who trained you. The days of doing exams wherever it takes your fancy are a thing of the past.

Thanks Whopity and DD for your comments.
I will try the New Horizons Academy, however by the sounds of Whopity's comments this won't be possible. This being said I have already sat ground exams at a different flying school to that where I was trained and recommended (albeit also in the UK) so I'm not sure if this makes a difference. Not quite sure if you mean should a referral be made by my flying school this will be possible...?
I have been in touch with AOPA and they have informed me that I can sit the ground papers at any ATO within Europe..
