Is it possible to become a aeronautical engineer or a pilot(i don't mind restrictions) if i'm color blind?

Answer 1

Pilot, no way.... U will be required to distinguish lights from different colors.
Aeronautical engineer, that U might have a greater chance at.
I'd say look up a school that has that program, and ask'em about it.

Answer 2

Obviously not,
To become a pilot a color blind person won't be able to make any difference of a runway or a plain road. To become aeronautical engineer u won't stand more than 30% chance to become one if u are color blind.

Answer 3

If you are totally color blind, and see only shades of gray, then it would be difficult (but not impossible) to become a pilot because of the need to determine colored light signals from the towers, and colored lights and indicators in the cockpit of the aircraft. Most people who are "color blind" are not totally color blind, but have some deficiency in color vision, such as red-green or blue-yellow deficiency. These deficiencies can be overcome or compensated for, and there are quite a few licensed pilots who do have some level of non-standard color vision.

I have a mild form of red-green color deficiency, and I have been a licensed aircraft mechanic and private pilot for many years.

Answer 4

The rules have slacked off lately- a Sport Plane Operator licence is or will be available for ultra-light and home-built a/c's. You won't need to pass IFR tests, but are expected to only fly duo at most, in daylight hours with good weather, as in recreational flying.
AEngineers- go for it; worry more about math skills and capability to operate some gnarly ACAD drawing programs, most of which are anti-intuitive, especially the 3-D variations. Color perception will matter some in the latter case, but not enough to slow you down.
The more advanced CAD-CAM programs can even be fun, where you simply plug in the dimensions, and the program does the drawing, checking fit and tolerance, then saving the part in memory, to be matched to final assembly.

Answer 5

You can be a pilot, they just won't let you fly (pointless really) and you can't be an aeronautical engineer because you've got to tell the difference between different colour cables etc.

Answer 6

I don't think so. Cause to be a pilot and enginner you can't afford to be colour blind. Cause you will be dealing with life. If you are a pilot that carry passenger their life depands on you and if you the engineer let say you can't different the colour of the cable and fix it wrongly you many cause accident.
