Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 All, I am now back from Saudi ( a couple of days early, as I have an exciting meeting in London Ref Australia that I need to prep for ) It has been an interesting time in Saudi with 6 QFI passes from a course of 13. I think the biggest mission is to encourage a safety culture in the sport. At the moment there is virtually none. I do believe that we have helped and I hope that they continue to help them selfs and carry on where we have left off. the Saudi Aviation club are pushing to make a law in the UAE that all pilots be trained using our system but I fear that this may take a while. We have a few more courses that we could run in Dubai and Katar, so we are now watching very closely at the first school to see if it's worked! More later with some pics.

Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 That kind of says it all to be honest LOL I think our work there has just begun and will take many years to fully implement. The support of the Saudi Aviation Club will help for sure. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo] Invite them over to do some "sandal surfing" down my way. They'd break both their legs within 1/2 mile in the potholes.

aquatix Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They'd break both their legs within 1/2 mile in the potholes. Not if they wear super safe Flat Top sandals and a K2 Thawb !!!!! Sorry Dave, I'll quit now ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I can facebook you a contact, but I would suggest that you don't pay any money for hire kit until you have seen it and checked it with a fine tooth comb. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
