What are the medical requirements?

Accepted Answer

FAA Class 1 or Class 2 medical certificate required. Vision must be correctable to 20/20. Standard hearing and general health requirements. Most healthy individuals qualify. For EASA conversion, a Class 1 EASA medical is also required.

Question 5

Do I need a degree to become a pilot?

Accepted Answer

No degree is required. You can start flight training straight from school at 17 years old. Some airlines prefer degrees, but many hire based on flight qualifications and experience alone.

Question 6

What is Instrument Rating?

Accepted Answer

Now that you have achieved a Private Pilot’s License, you may begin training using only flight instruments. The rating consists of 35 hours of dual flight time along with both a written and practical flight test to be completed within six weeks. Being instrument rated makes for an even safer pilot as it allows you to fly in weather conditions that would be considered off limits to someone who has a private license only. With this rating you will enhance both your skills and confidence as a pilot.

Question 7

What is a Multi-Engine Rating?

Accepted Answer

This course, as it may imply, will be conducted in a twin-engine aircraft unlike all previous training which was conducted in a single-engine aircraft. This addition to your commercial license will take 12 hours of flight training along with a flight test. Once completed, you will be eligible for both compensation and hire in multi-engine aircraft.

Excellent. There's a global pilot shortage with airlines actively recruiting. Starting salaries at regional airlines range from $50,000-$80,000, with major airline captains earning $200,000+.
