About
I’m a CPL holder who’s genuinely obsessed with aviation anything that flies grabs my attention. For me, it’s not just about becoming a pilot, it’s about understanding the whole world behind it and sharing that with others. I enjoy breaking down complex aviation stuff into simple, easy to understand bits for anyone who’s curious or just starting out.

This blog is just my way of sharing what I know, what I learn, and keeping aviation real, simple, and interesting.

FAA to GACA / GCAA logbook conversion: a US pilot's playbook for Gulf carrier transitions
US-certificated pilots are joining Gulf carriers in steady numbers. Saudi Arabia's Saudia, flynas, and flyadeal, along with the UAE's Emirates, Etihad, flydubai, and Air Arabia, all recruit ATP and CPL holders trained under the FAA system. The flying transfers in a way most pilots expect. The paperwork is where the surprises tend to sit. Your logbook is the one document that follows you across every move like this.
