I am 13 years of age, and would like to become a Commerical Pilot when I am older. However, I feel my eyesight may be holding me back. I am -2.00 dioptres in one eye and -2.25 in the other. Can I have laser correction? Can I wear glasses in flight? If it is true that I cannot become a Pilot, I'd rather find out now.

I understand I am not of age to be a Pilot, but I am looking into my future career. I also understand that at my age, my eyesight may change slightly. I am just wondering that if I did want to become a Commerical Pilot, would my eyesight hold me back?

I have seen many Pilots wearing glasses, and if this is the case, if you are allowed, I should be OK. I have heard that contact lenses can be painful when pressure changes occur, and that sometimes, people that have had Laser Eye Surgery have not been allowed to be a Pilot. Does the vision have to under a set amount before Surgery?

Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

What is the max # of hours a pilot and co pilot can be ON DUTY in any 24 hr period. (On duty being , "on the clock" whether or not flying.) such as , having mechanics check a minor problem.
How many hours can he fly? Define " flying ." Is this only the time the plane is in the air, or does it mean whenever the aircraft has engines on, taxiing , waiting to take off, etc.

What happens if , due to bad weather, the pilot is running out of time. Can he (within reason) complete his tour of duty?
He may be out of time in Phila, but he is assigned to still do a Phila-Baltimore hop. Can he do it?

Next question, hours of rest. Please define it. Does this mean, sent to a motel to sleep?
Or, is he considered "resting" when, for example, he arrived Baltimore at 2PM, left the airplane at 230PM and doesn't have to be back until 330 PM and he goes to lunch?
How does this work?
Also how do you measure a "day." Noon to Noon, Mid to midnight, and how about time zone changes?
Thanks

Cars have options of bio fuels and electricity.. Ships have nuclear options... But what fuel option does an airplane have?

We hear of airline fleets expanding and newer, better and bigger airports being built all the time, but is there an eternal source of jet fuel?

I am a 30 years old civil engineer. But I'm thinking about going to flight school and being a professional pilot.

Do you think it's too risky to do it?
I feel like being a pilot is just a dream, not reality.

I really wonder
1. Am I too old to change my job?
2. Would I be hired? (ex.Quantas or Virgin blue or something)
Ain't I too old to be a new pilot?
