I’ve seen simliar questions with answers varying from “uncorrected 20/20″ to “glass corrected 20/20 is fine”. Can someone straighten this out? My eyesight is ok without glasses but I would really like to become a pilot.

Cameron C asked:


Ok, so I’m a sophomore in High School and in order to graduate down the road I need to complete a graduation project. One of the things I need to do is to shadow 2-3 people doing their jobs. I would love to shadow an airline pilot because flying has always been of great interest to me. Unfortunately I’m worried that it may be a waste of my time to contact an airline for them to deny me because of security reasons. So if anyone could help me out here that would be awesome.

A small plane just shut down and is heading for the ground, and everyone has already jumped out the plane with a parchute. the only people are left are you, a hardworking successful woman and the pilot. the pilot wants to pair up with the girl, but you must convince him to pick you instead, how would you do it?

Me? i wouldn’ convince him, i’d take her and push her out the plane, so that way he would have to take me:)

its_all_bout_the_u asked:

I am 14…my dad and i agreed that i can start pilot lessons.
1. What is the ideal age to start training?
2. How difficult is it
-like how hard is it to learn all of the stuff.
and how much time per week would it take me

Good day! I’m planning to take up my private pilot course here in our country and perhaps transfer abroad for my CPL. I saw this school that offers 200+ hours Multi-Engine time professional pilot package. My question is that, are airline companies considering those pilots with Multi-Engine flying time to be hired? Would it be a good choice to fly more on Multi-Engine?

Ana K. asked:


I know you need 20/20 for military, but do you need 20/20 vision to be a commercial pilot? Or a private pilot?

Annie asked:


I am thinking about becoming an airline pilot one day. I know it requires a commercial license but do I have to get a private license first and build up flight hours to be eligible for a commercial license?

Kabinda asked:


I hold an FAA private pilot license with instrument rating. I am Mexican. I want now to get the commercial license with multi-engine. Can I do the course somewhere in Mexico or must I do it in the US?

Katharine H asked:


We have a vented wall mounted propane heater in the the basement for emergency winter use only. We have noticed that the pilot light burns a significant amount of propane during the summer months. Is it safe for me to turn off the pilot now and then back on later in the fall?

m173627 asked:


I saw the recent question on becoming a 747 pilot. Frankly, I don’t like that sound of driving something THAT immense; it takes a lot of time to do too. Also, the hassle associated with entering another country and their regulations and the long flight time.
Now what I am asking is this: What are the requirements of being a regional pilot flying 737ish aircraft in regional airlines like Southwest etc? I am really considering a job in travel and a pilot sounds good. Hows the training? How long? Is it worth it? What about your family life? I would appreciate answers from regional pilots or international alike, although anyone’s helpful input would also help.
