Ooh yea, I'd like to have a private pilots licence but as stated allready... it's too damn epencive

Oh well... FS2002 and IL-2 + Saitek x45 should be sufficient for now

what's the limit for eye problems?

i thought it was +3 to-3 DPT, right?

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:02:59 am

Ahh, there's another problem. My sight is damn near perfect (I can read a car number plate at quite a distance), but my eyes are not.

Occasionally, the upper left corner of my vision in both eyes starts to flicker. I can only cure it by pressing on my eyelids, and then I end up with a blind spot for about 10 minutes.

kasperl · **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:14:30 am

well, my sight ain't much, i can't see depth,and my eyes aren't reliable either.

i'm not gonna be a pilot, i'm afraid

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #25 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:21:42 am

It's a bugger, isn't it?

I'll have to find some other way to take to the skies, like some sort of jet pack.

Nico · **Reply #26 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:23:16 am

find a skillful girlfriend, that works, too.

TrashMan · **Reply #27 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:31:26 am

My eyesight is perfect.
My health is perfect.
My reflexes are perfect.
My condition is miserable...I drop dead after 6-7 miutes of running..
I can't be a pilot then...

Don't mean to be ruse or anything, but you should really work on that then. Cause 7 minute run is like... no condition at all.

kasperl · **Reply #30 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:34:56 am

uhm, i usually run 3.3 km in the weekends, takes me 18minutes. kinda bad, i think.

I have an IQ of 145...I'm smart, fairly good looking, tall, in good phisical shape (everything apart from condition), I can speak several languages perfecty, I can play on a piano, etc..etc...)
I CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING! GIMME A BREAK I'M NOT PERFECT!
*hides from shame*

Knight Templar · **Reply #32 on:** June 05, 2003, 10:54:50 am

well your health can't be that good if you can't run more than 6 minutes...

Unknown Target · **Reply #33 on:** June 05, 2003, 11:04:21 am

How fast can you run a mile?

I did it in 8:30, but I walked a lap (it was spaced out over several)

Dark_4ce · **Reply #34 on:** June 05, 2003, 11:18:26 am

height also is a determining factor if you want to be a fighter pilot. Also, the ability to concentrate on many things at once. IE, keeping an eye on instruments, while controling you're ailerons, looking around you, communicating, calculating, and if you're a fighter pilot, trying to keep one step ahead of your enemy in tactics and looking for new bogies.

to think about while flying...

Unknown Target · **Reply #35 on:** June 05, 2003, 11:59:04 am

Height isn't THAT big a thing. Unless you are abnormally small/tall, then it isn't really a huge thing.

Dark_4ce · **Reply #36 on:** June 05, 2003, 12:03:29 pm

Well, its not a huge thing, but it does get considered. They usually have the ideal height and they pick people who are closest to that. But only in the Air Force. To become a normal pilot, its not an issue.

If I had better eyesight I would have joined the RCAF months ago, but the bastards wont let you fly, even if you get laser eye surgery....

Nico · **Reply #38 on:** June 05, 2003, 12:17:51 pm

I probably have the crappiest sight of the board ( 0 D on left eye and 6 on right eye ), and I can't run for long either. you can say my parents screwed up ( no pun intended

) when they did me.
plus I've wasted my right ankle when I was 7 or 8.
I guess I can't be a pilot

bah, the swedish defence doesn't want me for anything unless I get eye surgery, and I don't really have *that* bad sight.
