So you can confirm that A6-AWH and A6-AWL are currently the two helicopters used in Saudi Arabia ??
A6-AWH as HZ-RC03
and
A6-AWL as HZ-RC04
Thanks for the link to my personal webpage (Damiano GUALDONI), but I was really looking for info in order to link the two previous regs to the new ones.
Thanks a lot
Damiano

HH and no-pay
Ba@@**rd, 
WTF's going on here? Where's his business registered? If in UK and one has a contract, that has to be Small Claims Court surely? This has a side-benfit at getting a CCJ against the Company, and a record which is publicly visible. 
If it were me I wouldn't shrink from sending a recorded-delivery mail giving 14 days for settlement - or SMC to be effected. It only costs £100 and you get that back if/when you are successful. Me, I've had enough of all this BS. If a contracted agreement is delinquent I send a letter saying that they might like to discuss this in court since I am a VERY small business (me) and I've got a family to earn for. 
What do you think, team? ~ VFR

Old news. The company operating the Explorers has been out of service for many months. No fault of the aircraft by any means. Two of the acft have been stored outside of KSA and two were left in KSA to gather dust (or sand).

SRCA Not Paying Bills & Not Providing Visas
The SRCA is not providing visas for new ADA pilots to be assigned to the project and not paying ADA as agreed.
The SRCA has a reputation within the Magic Kingdom of not paying their bills.
Be careful out there.

Mmmm ...
I'd be willing to bet the machine stuck on the Hospital H'pad in Riyadh or the machine decaying on the dispersal at Thumamah will not be going 'home' anytime soon ...

So very very true ....

Hi Guys
In connection with recent job ad. in Saudi Arabia, I would like to ask those who know : Is FAA licence is "absolute MUST" to be considered for a job in Saudi Arabia ?
Thanks

FAA A&P is a requirement of GCAA Licence as is a work permit there is some very strict employment laws within the KSA, read all of the comments on this thread as there is a lot of mis-information out there the AA guys fell foul of this. BEST OF LUCK

Subtle correction to the above post ....
Whilst FAA regulations (copied with some 'variations') are the basis for for licensing and Flight activities within the KSA ... 'Temporary Airman Certificates' can be issued to well qualified (not necessarily FAA licensed) Airman/Mechanics to allow flight operations on Saudi civilian registered aircraft.
It is necessary to take the GACA nominated exam in order obtain a permanent Saudi Airman Certificate (and yes it is based on the FAA exam syllabus ... with variations?).
(I guess somebody has to be seen to be running the show?).

You are correct with your last statement but whilst AA/SRCA where in the process of obtaining approvals to operate a part 135 operation in the KSA it was made very clear that an FAA A&P was a pre requesite for issue of a GACA license and that no temporary certificates would be issued so the operation was operated temporarily under FAA part 91 but as the KSA do there own thing then anything is possible all the AA guys already where FAA A&P certificated issue of a GACA licence also required a KSA work permit, this was what the AA guys fell foul of ,information that was not passed on at the start of employment, it is what it is on the day they say it is in the KSA.

STVA .... you are partially correct .... as far as the A&P requirement ... in order to operate a Part 135 operation ... the maintenance organisation MUST be an "Approved Maintenance Organisation" ... I understand 'AA' had some issues getting that approval hence the need to operate Part 91 only.
You are however VERY correct when you say the rules in KSA require decoding on a daily basis

As you say a lot of decoding was required , AA problem was largely down to a lack of the infrustructure that was promised by the SRCA, as was "cost is no object" attitude but that proved to be the biggest object ,a lot of hard work was carried out by certain AA people that where there, there was also a lot of dreamers
and the original SRCA management being removed did not help the situation,the originals had a more realistic view on what could be achieved, some fantastic plans where made and some impressive models of the infrustructure made which should all have been built by now.

Dare I say ..... 'not a lot has changed' .... SRCA still has its moments ... their view of how it CAN be done is still at odds with how it SHOULD be done
....
There are plenty of patients but very little patience so to speak
Only time will tell ......
