US ATP to KSA ATP conversion

[camper1159]

To fly a KSA registered aircraft, I would assume I need a KSA ATP.

Has anyone been through this process?

I see GACA has an e-service for license validation, but that appears to be for temporary situations. Also, my request for validation has been in process for over two months...sent them the three docs they requested and still over two months no response.

How about GACA Medicals? Can these be had back home in the states anywhere? Or can an FAA medical be validated to KSA?

Thanks in advance guys....

I think that you will find that GACA will talk to your employer and not to you as an individual. Send all of your papers to your employer and they should get the licence for you.
Depending on the day, you might be required to do the GACA ATP writtens.
As for the medical, it's easily obtainable in Saudi, I don't know of any approved facilities outside KSA.
Good luck
