getting a PPL in Dubai/UAE
hi guys!
firts post, ever.. anywhere.
so, ive done 8 hours to a PPL (just got feet wet) and loved it. This was with Cabair uxbridge/denham (sad its gone) and now my job is making me relocate to Dubai.
Im thinking great weather etc, but can I get a PPL there? Where? How much will it set me back realistically? More than 10k GBP?
I saw Emirates Aviation Services website, but nobody answers a phone! Ever. I really need one on one lessons, is this possible anywhere? I will be doing a 9-5 so i need flexible hours and weekends basically.
any help and encouragement would be vastly appreciated!

Hi there - private flying is pretty scarce out there - there used to be a flight school at Ras Al Khaimah, which is just up along the coast - I would probably start looking around there.

Paco & TCAS,
thanks for that info! really appreciate it...
Is there any rating system for the various schools?
sounds to me like theres only one 'don' per area for owning/operating schools out there..
