Moon is Pakistani-American and was born and raised in Massachusetts. Like so many in aviation, he barely remembers a time when he didn\u2019t want to be a pilot. From running around his childhood home with model airplanes to the excitement he felt on his first trip to Pakistan on the 747, when it came time to choose a career, aviation was the most obvious choice. As a teenager Moon started taking flight lessons at nearby Westfield Barnes Regional Airport, but he quickly learned that even just getting his private license would take a lot of patience. At age 18, he failed his private pilot check-ride. He was frustrated and disappointed, but said \u201cThe failure taught me that failing is only a setback. It is an opportunity for you to learn, grow, and become even better at something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moon didn\u2019t give up after this first challenge, and even though there were multiple times during training that he wasn\u2019t sure he could do it, he pressed on. He explained \u201ctraining in the airlines is like drinking water out of a fire hose. So much information is thrown your way that it can really discourage you from moving forward. You\u2019ve got to take a deep breath and remind yourself that you\u2019ve made it this far and quitting is not an option. After going through the training process, it personally for me created a mindset and gave me a set of tools I can use in any aspect of my life to achieve anything I want!\u201d He is very proud of himself for sticking it out, and following his dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Moon gets to enjoy the fruits of all his hard work. He talks with reverence about the feeling of flying, saying \u201cOnce the aircraft leaves the runway, the world beneath you becomes smaller, making you realize that the problems we have in our lives are merely nothing. They are as big as we think and make them.\u201d When he isn\u2019t flying or spending time with his family, Moon likes to film videos about aviation for other pilots and aspiring pilots. He talks about everything from what it is like to be a CFI, to how to deal with your parents not supporting your dreams of flying. He thinks that by sharing his personal life experiences he might be able to help inspire people to fly. You can check out his YouTube channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCQ0vNiIIh2dA96SkTJUC5BQ\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Because of the hardships he overcame to be where he is now Moon\u2019s pilot life is very important to him, and that includes his logbook. He is a big fan of using LogTen Pro because it saves him time but most importantly he pointed out, \u201cIf your paper logbook ever gets stolen or damaged, your hard work is gone in a blink of an eye.\u201d Being able to create iCloud and dropbox backups with a single tap means he doesn\u2019t have to worry about anything being lost.<\/p>\n<p>It may sound like Moon is a very serious and determined guy, and he certainly is, but he\u2019s got a funny streak too. He told me a story of a time when he stood with the flight attendants greeting passengers as they boarded the plane, and someone stepped on with a full box of pizza. \u201cAs they boarded,\u201d he explained, \u201cI greeted them in a kind and respectful manner, took the pizza box from the passenger and said, \u2018Thank you very much for bringing pizza for us tonight!\u2019 The passenger smiled, went with the flow and said, \u2018You are very welcome,\u2019 and kept walking to their seat. Everyone had a good laugh. Of course later we returned the pizza back to the passenger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congrats Moon on creating a fantastic #LogTenLife!
