Hi, my name is Alan, I'm from Taiwan. I am attending Fullerton Junior College at the moment. trying to finish the G.Es as required like everyone else, and i am going to transfer to Mount San Antonio College next year, because i live close by, hoping to get in the aviation program. I heard they have a great flighting team, i can't wait! But, before all that fun stuff, i have couple questions that i am still confused about. Can anyone please take their time and answer my questions, that would help me a lot, to choose my careerer path as a pilot.

#1. Can i still fly if i wear eyeglass? "nearsighted"

#2. What math / science skill is required? If there is any.

#3. What are the expenses? How much will i have to spent? It varies? (I am an international student and that means a lot of $$.)

#4. I heard the field of aviation is not stable, why is that?

I only have an answer for question 2, but it is not a definate answer. You might want to do a little more reasearch instead of just taking my answer straight up. You will need to be able to calculate the wind speed and direction and some other things quickly for take-off, landing and turbulance. I'm not sure if you would classify the flight training science or any part of the aviation process to get your licence.

oh really? well, i live in Southern California, and i live 30mins away from Mount San Antonio College. They offer the basic fly pre classes such as "navigation, aviation weather, aviation safety, aircraft & engines, federal aviation regulations, instrument ground school, primary pilot ground school, air transportations and commercial flight. these are total of 27 units, but it states that if i want to graduate with an A.S. degree in commercial flight, i will need to accumulate 60units total, so that means the rest of the units i will need to get from the general ed. first. Besides i know what i want now, aviation is what i want, and in the industry of aviation i will need to obtain a B.S. degree, so i think general ed. is required for all.
