Plan ?
 

So what are u planning to do ?:uhoh:

BDB
 

BDB won't offer pilot assessment sessions for the coming few months may be...so I'll be waiting for them first!!! you know it's a bit complicated everywhere..but will keep on going anyway

wish me luck!

BDB Loans
 

Hope is not lost if BDB stop their loan facility.

Most of the reputable banks in Bahrain offer personal loan facilities to Bahraini nationals with repayment schedules that range anywhere from 3-10 years.

I know HSBC in Bahrain offer personal loans upto 40,000 dinars. You will however be expected to pay interest on the repayments and you'll need to meet their elegibility criteria. So if BDB pulls the plug, there are other avenues to consider to help finance your flight training (should you need the financial assistance).

:ok:

Optimism :))
 

You are right Aero

but I would certainly perfer 4% interest rate vs. 8%
and 12 months grace period vs. immediate installments!

so let's be hopeful my friend!

P.S. the presentation went well ;)

Settled in New Jersey
 

Just had an email from our former colleague, the Iraqi meteorology instructor. He is now settled in New Jersey, USA awaiting his Green Card ID and Social Security Number. I will pass on my best wishes from all of us.

Ask him if hes going to support the Jets or the Giants...... Personally Im a Packers fan :cool:

once upon a man
 

so nice to hear Capt.S.k news. hope he will find the best....

i wish that AAA will get better soon. Inshalah all will be ok and wish those who left ayla the best....hope my friend will be ok....

Guarantees being made now?
 

I bumped into a young chap recently who told me he was flight training with Ayla Aviation and he went on to say that Gulf Air had guaranteed him a flying career once he completes his flight training.

I smiled and said, 'Let's hope GF keep their promises!' :}

Keep Smiling
 

I Have A Question here;
IF YOU HAVE DONE YOUR TRAINING ON A NON CITIFIED AIRPLANE AND/OR SIMULATOR WHETHER IT WAS AT AERODROME,HOUSE OR AMALL?
If GF come to know this would it accept the record(s)???????????:{

depending on legislation of the National Aviation Authority you will find that some countries will allow training on experimental(homebuilt) aircraft.
However, this catagory of aircraft is certfied by a NAA but not to an international standard.

Training for commercial purposes on this catagory of aircraft is not permitted, this commercial purpose can be the training itself (the instructor is getting paid) or the aim of obtaining a commercial licence.

To cut a long story short, if you have any doubt that a commercial school you're attending has not got it's aircraft maintained to such a standard as to maintain continued airworthiness then your first stop is the chief engineer of the maintenance facility, if this is not satisfactory then you can approach the NAA to which the aircraft is(are) registered. This however will give you at best the last renewal date of the C of A.

If this does not satisfy you altogether, you can then request a visit from an Airworthiness Inspector stating the reason you wish this visit to be performed, ie, serious issues relating to maintenance.

Do bear in mind though when you go this route that it will be your word against the maintenance facilities paperwork......

SIM HOURs
 

Let us not beat about the bush, if I go to CARC to get my license ,they say sorry we cannt accept your sim hours because it is not certified sim:uhoh:
Who will take the responsibility for this?
What can be done then?

In that particular case you will have to consult the contract you have with the school. If the school claims the sim is approved but the authority says it's not then the problem lies with the school.

You will have to negotiate with the school to find some way to make up the shortfall. I would however advise to find a way to make up the shortfall meanwhile in order to get your licence issued and be prepared for a long argument if any of the previous posts about this school are anything to go by.

Sim training
 

What portion of your flight training are you doing on sims?

Definately not true...there is no gurantee of a job in GF. If they need pilots they will look at you,and if they are interested they might offer you a job, however that is just the beginning, furthermore getting a job does not gurantee you will keep the job, you must get up to the required standard. Sadly, not everyone makes that grade.

Sorry to be so plain, but perhaps it is good for the young ones to know what the reality of aviation is.

Good luck to all with the school and your futures.

Does it make any difference
 

(What portion of your flight training are you doing on sims)???
1st:
Does it make any defference?
2nd:
will known to everybody what a student can/has to do sim hours during his CPL/IR Course.
3rd:
Do you know,but just asking? or you dont know;)?

Sim time
 

Yes of course it makes a difference. There's only so much sim time that can be credited towards each phase of flight training.

If you know the name & model of the training devices your using, I would recommend you visit their commercial websites where you'll be able to find further information such as regulatory approvals etc.

and in case your wondering, you cant credit Microsoft FSX hours towards your Instrument Rating :}

Ayla training agreement?
 

Sounds like Ayla Aviation has just signed a training agreement with a Jordanian private charter company called RayaJet . Doesn't their website look very similar to that of Ayla's?

Hi Aero...

r u sure about the agreement thing?? what purpose this one might be for??

talking about similarities between websites, compare Ayla's to Atlantic's website!!! like a wise brother and stupid sister..or I better say they r like a fully grown guy and a crazy little B:mad:ch !!:} :} of course u know who is who!! did I give any clue??! :E


Cheers mate

mafemukh how are you?
 

I did see the posts written here but I could not find any of yours new posts. Have you got a new job somewhere? Or are you preparing to come back to AAA?
