DAE Flight Academy in UAE
Does anyone know anything about DAE Flight Academy near Dubai in the UAE? They are training in the Cirrus and also in the Eclipse VLJ. I have enough hours to get hired by the regionals, I just can't afford it! Working at a school where the senior instructors fly the Eclipe jet would be a more affordable way to get twin turbine pic I think?

I could be wrong but I think this school is run by the former head of the standards department at Delta Connection Academy. If I am correct then I know two things about it. Hard guy to work for but the standard of training will be high but here's the kicker; last I knew they had video cameras installed in the aircraft to monitor students and CFI's during the lessons.....

Thanks for the response. I am interested because I am not sure if I can afford to work for the regionals in the US, and so I am trying to figure out how I can get some turbine experience. DAE teaches part of the program in the Eclipse jet. I might just have to get creative and go to the regionals here.

I considered applying before taking my current job. The one thing that held me back was that they required a three-year contract to be signed. The pay, however, was great. Including your living stipend it is somewhere around $60,000 USD per year tax free (if you're a U.S. Citizen). Their website is:

Thanks for the info. I submitted an application about a month ago and have not heard back. Perhaps I should follow up. I have over 900 TT with 150 ME and 560 dual given, so I was a little surprised when I did not get any response at all.
