50 years old. 16 EASA Part-66 exams. And I’m still just getting started. ✈️

In July 2025, I decided to take on a completely new challenge: EASA Part-66 B1/B2 examinations — Jet & Piston.

Today, I’m proud to say that I have successfully completed 16 exams.

But this achievement is not really about 16 certificates.

It’s about the decision to keep learning.

My career started very differently. I began in finance and insurance, earned my doctorate, and later worked in shipping and international business.

Then, about 15 years ago, aviation entered my life — and I got completely “addicted” to it. 😊

What started as an interest became a new professional world.

Over the years, I have explored different sides of business aviation — aircraft operations, aviation finance and insurance, aircraft management, leasing, technical management, CAMO, Part-145/MRO, spare parts and logistics, safety, quality and regulatory compliance.

And I have had the opportunity to discover and work with different aircraft types.

Now, at 50, I decided to go one step further and strengthen my technical aviation knowledge through Part-66 B1/B2 studies.

And you know what?

It feels great to learn something completely new.

Age is not a reason to stop.

Quite the opposite.

Experience gives you a foundation.
Curiosity gives you direction.
Learning gives you new possibilities.

My journey has gone from Finance → Insurance → Shipping → Business Aviation → Technical & Regulatory Aviation.

And I’m not finished.

There are new aircraft to discover.
New knowledge to acquire.
New projects to build.
New challenges to overcome.

At 50, I don’t see my career as something that is coming to an end.

I see it as a runway.

And there is still a lot of runway ahead. ✈️🚀

The best is still ahead.

إليك صياغة ملحمية وراقية باللغة العربية الفصحى، تناسب ثقافة أهل البحرين وتاريخهم البحري العريق، وتجمع بين عبق الماضي وطموح الحاضر:
# ملحمة مياه دلمون: من مغاصات اللؤلؤ إلى أعالي البحار
منذ عهود مضت، يوم كانت غراس النخيل غضةً قصيرة، وكانت لآلئ البحرين في الأعماق فريدةً كبيرة، بدأت حكاية السباحة البحرينية. كان ذلك زمن الأساطير التي ولدت من ملح الخليج الدافئ؛ زمنٌ رُويت قصصه على أمجاد ** »توربو يوسف »**، الذي قيل إن ضربات قدميه كانت تحيل الساكن من الموج زبداً متلاطماً، و** »فرحان »** الذي حوّل تلك الأساطير إلى أرقام قياسية رسمية سُجلت بمداد من عزم. ومن رذاذ تيك الأمواج، شُقّت السبل وتأسس **الاتحاد البحريني للسباحة** (Bahrain Aquatics) – كأنه سفينة بُنيت بأيدي أبناء الوطن، قوامها الإرث الصلد والعزيمة التي لا تلين.
لكن البحر لا يعرف السكون، وآفاقه لا تنتهي. فمن وراء البحار البعيدة، أقبل « الفايكنج »..
لم يأتوا غزاةً، بل جاؤوا ليكونوا جزءاً من الطاقم، حاملين معهم بأس الشمال برودته، وهدير المحيطات وقوتها.
أول القادمين كان **ميخائيل أرخانغلسكي** (Mikhail Arkhangelskiy)؛ ورغم أن اسمه يحمل هيبة « الملائكة » في أساطير الشمال، فقد شدّ رحاله من شواطئ فرنسا الأنيقة، لياتينا ببراعة « ملائكية » فريدة ولمسة أوروبية ساحرة، مؤكداً أن حتى « الأرخانجيل » يحتاج إلى شمس البحرين الدافئة ليبسط أجنحته في مجاري المياه.
ثم من السواحل الصخرية في أستراليا، أقبل **روبرت بونسال** (Robert Bonsall). ابن المحيطات وجنوب الأرض، الذي يحمل اسمه في طياته بشائر الخير (Bon) وقوة الشراع (Sail) التي تحتاجها كل سفينة عظيمة. فمن المياه الأسترالية المهيبة إلى مغاصات اللؤلؤ البحرينية، جلب معه روح التحدي وعزيمة السباح الأسترالي التي لا تُقهر.
واليوم، لم تعد **السفينة البحرينية** – « بانوش » أجدادنا التاريخي – مجرد قارب يبحر قرب الشواطئ، بل تحولت بفضل هذا الطاقم الاستثنائي المتلاحم إلى أسطول يمخر عباب البحار.
لم يعد سباحو البحرين ملوكاً للخليج فحسب، بل كسروا حدود البحار المغلقة. بروح غواص اللؤلؤ وبأس الفايكنج، يمضون اليوم قدماً نحو كل محيط وفي كل قارة. تتهاوى الأرقام أمامهم، وتتسع الآفاق، ويرتفع علم مملكة البحرين عالياً بسواعد فريق لا يعرف المستحيل ولا تؤطر طموحه الحدود.
**إنها الرحلة التي بدأت للتو، وشراعنا لن ينطوي.**

✈️ Will recent instability in the Middle East reshape the aviation map between Europe and Asia?

In recent days we have seen a situation that aviation planners rarely discuss publicly.

Large numbers of passengers traveling between Europe and Asia suddenly found themselves stranded due to regional disruptions.

This raises an interesting strategic question for the aviation industry.

For the last two decades, the global air transport system has relied heavily on Middle East mega-hubs.

Dubai
Doha
Abu Dhabi

These hubs became extremely efficient connectors between Europe and Asia thanks to geography, fleet strategy and strong airline networks.

But aviation history shows that passenger flows eventually react to perceived risk and uncertainty.

Even temporary disruptions can lead to long-term strategic questions:

• Will airlines and tour operators diversify routing options?
• Will secondary hubs start positioning themselves as alternatives?
• Could new connection points emerge in regions such as Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia or the Eastern Mediterranean?

Another interesting dimension is passenger psychology.

If large numbers of tourists experience travel disruptions, delays or uncertainty, it may influence future booking preferences.

Not necessarily immediately.

But over time.

Air transport networks evolve slowly — but once they shift, they can reshape global travel patterns for decades.

So the question may not only be about today’s disruption.

👉 Could current events accelerate the search for alternative connection hubs between Europe and Asia?

Curious to hear perspectives from airline planners, airport strategists and aviation economists.

✈️ Aviation may be the only industry where…

Aviation may be the only industry where:

• problems are called findings
• mistakes are reported instead of hidden
• procedures are written before the operation even starts
• and documentation can ground a perfectly functioning aircraft

At first glance, this may look like bureaucracy.

But in reality it is something else.

It is the architecture of safety.

Modern aviation is not safe by accident.

It is safe because the industry has built an ecosystem where problems are expected, documented, analysed and corrected.

In many other industries, problems are often hidden until something fails.

In aviation, the opposite approach is taken:

We systematically search for problems before they become accidents.

And that philosophy has built one of the safest transportation systems in history.

But this also creates an interesting paradox.

The safer aviation becomes technically,
the more complex it becomes organisationally.

Engineering problems are becoming easier to detect and fix.

But managing the system around the aircraft — regulations, compliance, documentation, approvals, oversight — is becoming increasingly demanding.

Which raises an interesting question for the future of the industry.

As aviation grows and technology improves:

👉 Will the real challenge of aviation be engineering… or managing the system around it?

Curious to hear perspectives from pilots, engineers, CAMO teams and regulators.

✈️ The Hidden Jobs in Aviation

Everyone talks about the pilot shortage.

Airlines discuss it.
Manufacturers discuss it.
Training organisations invest heavily in it.

But aviation has another shortage that is far less visible.

And potentially just as critical.

The shortage of regulatory professionals.

The people who understand how the aviation system actually works.

Professionals who can navigate:

• CAMO responsibilities
• compliance monitoring frameworks
• Safety Management Systems (SMS)
• continuing airworthiness oversight
• regulatory approval processes

Aircraft can be purchased.

Pilots can be trained.

Maintenance capacity can be expanded.

But regulatory competence takes years to develop.

It is built through operational exposure, regulatory interaction, audits, investigations and decision-making under responsibility.

And without this competence, something interesting happens:

Aircraft may be technically ready.

Pilots may be available.

But the aircraft still does not fly.

Because in aviation, the system does not move without regulatory confidence.

Over the next decade, the real constraint on aviation growth may not only be aircraft production or pilot pipelines.

It may be the availability of professionals who can safely and legally operate the system.

Curious to hear from the community:

👉 Are we investing enough in developing regulatory professionals in aviation?

✈️ If I had to build an aviation organisation again, I would do five things differently.

After several years working inside aviation operations, CAMO environments and regulatory frameworks, one realization stands out.

Building an aviation organisation is not primarily about aircraft.

It is about systems, people and regulatory intelligence.

If I had to start again, I would focus on five things from day one:

1️⃣ Regulatory competence first

Before aircraft, before growth, before marketing.

Aviation organisations succeed or fail depending on how well they understand regulation.

2️⃣ Clear accountability architecture

Everyone talks about responsibility.

Very few organisations clearly define who decides what.

Ambiguity slows operations.

3️⃣ Documentation discipline

Aircraft are rarely grounded by engineering.

They are grounded by missing evidence.

4️⃣ Culture before process

Processes can be written in a manual.

Safety culture cannot.

It must be built.

5️⃣ Regulatory dialogue

The best organisations don’t fight regulators.

They build professional relationships with them.

⸻

Aviation is one of the most fascinating industries in the world.

But it is also one of the most structurally complex.

Curious to hear from other professionals:

👉 If you had to build an aviation organisation from scratch today — what would you do differently?

The real bottleneck in aviation is no longer aircraft.

Everyone talks about aircraft shortages.

Delivery delays.
Production limits.
Backlogs at manufacturers.

But something else is quietly emerging.

Aircraft can be purchased.
Pilots can be trained.
Maintenance capacity can be expanded.

What cannot be scaled quickly is regulatory competence.

Modern aviation depends on professionals who understand:

• CAMO responsibilities
• compliance monitoring
• Safety Management Systems
• airworthiness accountability
• regulatory approval processes

Aircraft can be ready.

But if the system lacks the people who can legally operate and release it, the aircraft simply does not fly.

In other words:

Aircraft availability increasingly depends not only on maintenance capacity —
but on regulatory competence.

And that competence takes years to build.

Curious to hear from the community:

👉 Are we investing enough in developing regulatory professionals in aviation?

Airworthiness Compliance

09/03/2026

Why aircraft paperwork is becoming more complex than aircraft engineering.

Aircraft engineering is becoming more advanced every year.

Better diagnostics.
Predictive maintenance.
Digital monitoring.
Health management systems.

Yet something else is growing even faster.

Documentation complexity.

Today, aircraft downtime is often caused not by a technical failure, but by:

• incomplete maintenance records
• unclear modification status
• traceability gaps
• configuration inconsistencies
• missing compliance evidence

Technically airworthy.

But legally grounded.

In modern aviation:

Airworthiness = Technical condition × Regulatory proof.

And if the proof is incomplete, the aircraft does not move.

This creates an interesting paradox:

Aircraft engineering is becoming smarter.

But aircraft paperwork is becoming heavier.

Curious to hear from operators, CAMO teams and MRO professionals:

👉 Have you seen aircraft grounded more by documentation than by technical issues?

The most expensive sentence in aviation.

In aviation maintenance, there is one sentence that sounds harmless.

But it can be incredibly expensive.

Sometimes even dangerous.

You hear it in hangars.
You hear it in CAMO offices.
You hear it in meetings.

The sentence is simple:

“We’ve always done it this way.”

At first glance, it sounds like experience.

But in reality it can hide:

• outdated procedures
• undocumented practices
• regulatory drift
• complacency
• resistance to improvement

Aviation evolves constantly.

Regulations change.
Technology evolves.
Safety lessons accumulate.

What worked ten years ago may already be non-compliant today.

And sometimes the biggest risk is not a technical failure.

It is institutional habit.

Good aviation organisations ask a different question:

Not
“Have we always done it this way?”

But

“Is this still the right way to do it?”

Curious to hear from the community:

👉 What is the most dangerous sentence you hear in aviation organisations?

✈️ What if the future of Gulf business aviation is not long-range — but high-frequency regional mobility?

When business aviation in the Gulf is discussed, the focus is usually on large long-range aircraft connecting the region to Europe, Asia or the United States.

But there may be another model that deserves more attention.

A model based on short-range, high-frequency regional mobility.

Many of the region’s most important business centres are located within 45–90 minutes of flight time from each other:

• Bahrain
• Doha
• Dubai
• Riyadh
• Kuwait

For these routes, VLJs and light jets could offer a very different value proposition:

• faster point-to-point travel
• flexible scheduling
• higher aircraft utilisation
• significantly lower operating costs

Instead of replacing airline networks, this type of business aviation could complement them, providing high-frequency connections for executives, investors and cross-border business teams.

In that context, strategically positioned hubs like Bahrain could play a particularly interesting role.

Geography matters.

But network design matters even more.

👉 If you were designing a regional VLJ network in the Gulf, which routes would you prioritise first?
