Can I still become an airline pilot?
So, I'm 5ft and I wear glasses, but my prescription is very low, as in +0.25 and +0.5. I was told to be a pilot you need to be 5ft 2 at least, and you need perfect vision. Is this true?
Yes, you can't qualify. If a pilot got onto a commercial plane wearing glasses, most of the passengers would get off, including me.
" I was told" by whom?
Glasses is no problem, height may be. You have to be able to reach the pedals easily.
Your corrected vision needs to be 20/20 - glasses are not a problem.
You would have to contact an airline of some kind and ask them their parameters for pilot hiring.
BUT WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET £100,00.00 PLUS?

- How can I become and Air Traffic Controller? I'm very interested in becoming an Air Traffic Controller! I love the communication side of Aviation. I'm currently a Sophomore in college and my school does not offer an AT-CTI program, but it offers Flight Operations and Aviation Management (which I'm taking both). I was wondering what the process would be to become a controller the civilian way. I do not desire to join the military. I just want to be an ATC at airports in the US
