First, you must have outstanding math grades, science grades, and written/verbal skills.  You must also have perfect eyesight.  High SATs, good overall GPA (3.9 or better) and extracurricular programs (especially leadership positions in academic clubs) are also helpful.  If you are delinquent in any of these, give up.  (For future reference, always use spellcheck...Your title is misspelled, and that will prevent you from receiving any scholarship 99.9% of the time.)\n\nIf you are still with me, then find out what state university offers this degree plan.  Apply for university and departmental scholarships.  It would be highly advisable that you contact either the Chair of the department, or the department secretary, or another faculty member that might be doing research that interests you, and ask them for some advise.  Let them know of your interest in their college.  Ask if there are any undergrad or high school summer research positions and how one would go about obtaining one.  Networking within the system is always a good way to get your name (and proverbial foot) in the door.\n\nIf all this fails, you should consider the Air Force.  If you do well on the ASVAP (sp?) you can apply for pilot's school.  After 4 years, your GI Bill will pay for your engineering school.\n\nHope this is helpful.

The country you live in is an important factor you left out of this question! The miiitary route aside, the civilian route varies by country.\n\nThis question has been asked a few dozen times on this forum already. Without knowing where you are, it will be hard to address. (Answers from an American perspective will not apply if you are European or Asian, and vice versa.)\n\nCheck these previous questions for answers as one may be directed at your country of residence:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AnMOjV2nxUQyGqIF3YiCjL0nzKIX?p=become+pilot&scope=subject&mc=&tab=0&asktime=&prate=&st=1

Make straight A's, be  strong in math and science,\ngot to college or one of the military academy's (preferred), make straight A's. join the military, become a pilot, a test pilot and apply, then Wait years for you turn to come up. Good luck!!!

The first, and (cheapest)is to attend either the USAF Academy or the US Naval Academy- but you aren't guaranteed a seat in flight school at either. Three's Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, and many colleges have "Aviation Science" courses.-GOod Luck!

Captain is O3 in the AF.  the requirements to advance to that paygrade are the same for pilots as they are for any other Officer.. time in rank as an O1 and O2 first, demonstrate sufficient knowledge of your community, and not screw up too badly in the meantime.  \n\nIn addition the regular requiurements that all Officers must meet( Citizenship, 4 year degree), there are additional requirements for Aviation, including a much more stringent physicial( perfect vision, among others)\n\nThey TYPE of degree you have is also very important.  hard science degrees and Engineering degrees are more in demand than Political Science or Criminal Justice.  and yoru GPA better be at LEAST 3.5, or you won't be remotely competetive.  The AF is over manned, and is very picky about who they accept each year.

Would depend on which university/college you study at. \n\nRecommend you check out which institutions offer aerospace and/or software engineering and compare prices of papers.

1) HOW DO I BECOME A COMMERCIAL PILOT?\n\n CIVILIAN ROUTE\n1. Get your pilot certificates and ratings via a flying club or school at the local airport, a university aviation program. A newly certificated commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings usually has about 250 hours. This is not enough for the airlines*. (See note* at bottom)\n\n2. Build up flight experience until about 1,000 flight hours. Most regional airlines require pilots to have at least 1,000 hours of flight time, with 100 of that being in multi-engine aircraft and a Commercial/Multi/Instrument certificate. (An Airline Transport Pilot certificate is not required until you make captain.) Common time building jobs are: banner towing, skydive pilot, pipeline patrol, traffic watch or flight instruction (with the additional Certified Flight Instructor rating)\n\n3. Get a degree. You do not need a degree in aviation, but having a degree in any subject is a requirement to getting hired on at a major airline. The regionals aren't so picky. Many think they must have an aviation degree to have an edge but when or if you are ever furloughed during your career an aviation degree is useless.\n\n4. Upon reaching the magic 1,000 hours begin applying! Hopefully you will get hired. Learn to live on a budget as regional airline pay is not very good. After building up about 2,000-3,000 hours and "paying your dues" at a regional you then qualify for a job with a major carrier.\n\n5. Begin applying all over again at the majors.....\n\n* There are some airline academy programs (Delta Connection Academy, Mesa Ailines Pilot Development, Flight Safety among others) that offer a "quick entry" scheme into the right seat of a regional airline. They are very costly and do not guarantee a job, but an interview only. If you pass their program and the airline interview, you could very well be hired as a First Officer at 300-400 hours. Some are very pro this method while others in the industry are not as they feel it's "buying a job". Some academy grads will face discrimination during their career because of this.\n\nMILITARY ROUTE\nJoin the military and hope to get selected as a pilot candidate for one of the highly competitive openings. Manage to pass flight school (failure rate is about 25%). Become a military aviator. Don't get killed while serving your country. Get out after 12 years and apply to the airlines.\n\nVisit these informative sites for more info:\nhttp://www.jetcareers.com\nhttp://www.flightinfo.com\n\n2) HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?\nIt takes as little as 18 months but more often 2-3 years to get hired by a regional airline as a First Officer (the starting point in the industry for airline pilots) .\n\nThe usual route to the airlines is flight training for the Private license, Instrument rating, Commercial license and multi-engine rating in about 12-18 months. Quite often a person will also get their Flight Instructor certificate and teach as a way to build flight time. The regional airlines hire people with 1,000 hours of flight time. (You don't need 1,500 hours and the Airline Transport Pilot certificate to get hired, although it makes you a better candidate.) Once a new commercial pilot with 250 hours has instructed or built up time via other small jobs, which takes another 12-18 months, they can apply at 1,000 hours and be hired by a regional airline. For about 85-90% of the industry, this is the usual route. It costs about $40,000-50,000. (Sometimes considerably more depending on where you go.)\n\nThere are also some "academy" style programs that will train you for the PPL, Instrument, Commercial, & ME in 12-18 months, plus some airline style ground school, then offer a pilot an interview with an affiliated regional at substantially reduced flight times. This method of training often costs $60,0000-$80,000 and doesn't guarantee a job- only an interview. If the candidate passes it successfully, they will g

Sure you can switch to aeronautics from mechanical engineering. However, please consider yourself as a freshman and probably learn lots of new terms when you get there. It is tones of solid knowledge is required that your might left out such as Aerodynamic, Propulsion, System Control and Gas Dynamic. It is pretty lots to catch. I can;t advise too much as your question is too general to give u a specify answer of your interest fields or major. Keep in mind you can do it but it will be hard. Good luck

There are two aspects to learning to fly, taking it that you are interested in obtaining a Private Pilot's License (U.S.).  To obtain a license, one must pass a written test, accumulate a certain level of experience and pass a flight exam.  A good place to start is to contact a local flight school and take an introductory flight.  A good approach is to do the book learning first, taking the ground school portion first.  Many community colleges offer these courses, and they can be otherwise be taken through a flight school at your local airport.  Hope this helps.  See the link below to the legal requirements for licensing.  Good luck!

You don't need to be a pilot, but it helps! Thanks for picking my answer as the best one for the other question! I love those web sites! As for the stuff to become a pilot, if you fill the astronaut requirements, you are set!

Only way your gonna get your wings is by getting into the Air Force Academy. I would suggest you think about flying helicopters for the Army. Air Force Academy fills it's flying ranks internally through the academy, as does Navy Air Corp from Annapolis. Army will take college grads who have been through ROTC in college and you can petition to become a helicopter pilot otherwise enjoy being an officer  as a radar operator, communications specialist, navigator or mechanic in the Airforce or Navy

You'll be studying the flow of air.  Topics will most likely include compressibility, wing design, Bernouilli's principles, laminar flow, supersonic flow, and many others.  This is at least what is presented in an entry-level course at a university.
