aviation engineering degree

[Re.TiReD]

my dad and aunt have both had it done and they've never exerinced any pains at all, Alhamdulillah

but both were told that they may need reading glasses wh;en they are older...much older

yeah, I've heard that...the actual process I heard is very painful though? I want to get it done Insha'Allah, but apparantly I'm too young?

Wooo!
InshaAllah you'll become what you want to become.

First and foremost to become a pilot, or to even get the license to fly a commercial airliner you need a whole stash of money, i'm talking from approximately 25k+ upto 80 odd thousand pounds. I hope that hasn't put you off, you'll get that money back within no time though

Also your vision needs to be PERFECT, i dont think they accept the use of contact lenses, well in military aircrafts i'm sure.

Thirdly if i were you i'd apply to do an aerospace course as soon as possible, it'll get you on your way, because you get a knowledge of various aspects in the aero industry, along with THEORY OF FLIGHT. You'll need to know this inside out, something i havn't quite grasped

That's all for now, good luck bro, inshaAllah it'll work out, you can fly, i'll fix

Aviation is much more than being a pilot. Being a pilot is just a very small part of the entire crew that gets the plane in the air and keeps it there. the pilot may be the most visible part of the crew, but there are many people along with the pilot, each with a specific job and each equally important. It may only take from 1 to 10 people in the air to fly the plane, but they depend on a team that numbers in the hundreds on the ground.

Some jobs in the field of aviation are on this site:

http://www.avjobs.com/jobs/view-jobs-available.asp

There are over 4,500 different position available on this site alone. this can show you some of the variety of jobs available and where the future of aviation is going.

Now the main issue is how can this all relate to your De'en and help you with preparing for the Akhira. Remember aviation is for many purposes. You could possibly become part of a crew that is in the process of bringing reknowned scholars to parts of the world that still need to be touched by Islam, you could be part of an effort that works to bring relief to suffering brothers and sister. You may not become a scholar, but you could be instrumental in getting scholars to where they are needed. You might not become a doctor, but you can be part of the means to bring doctors to where there are needed. You may not be an Imam, but you could be the means of bringing the Qur'an to those who are begging for it.

What a person does with job skills is their choice, you can use job skills for self indulgence or you can use them to prepare for the Akhira.

wow... lol mashAllah

what about bringin up a family unclE? mum says its unfair lol...

 

[Re.TiReD]

That's true, I wouldnt do it if I was you because it isnt fair at all. You'd be away too much. My English teacher at A-level moved to saudi because her husband is a pilot, I guess that sounds good but It'd cause alot of upheaval and problems in your life. Wallahu A'lam. You still thinking about it?

Most commercial pilots have very good hours and are seldom away from home over night. A friend of mine has one route he flies each week. He flies from NY to Paris every Friday and returns on Sunday. That is his work week. His salary is something to be envied.

A cousin of mine is the personal pilot for an un named Head of State. He lives in Paris and only is gone from home about two days a month.

Most countries have very stiff laws limited the number of hours a pilot can fly.

The Federal Aviation Administration limits commercial pilots on domestic flights to eight hours a day, measured from pushback until arrival at the gate. The limits are 30 hours in seven days, 100 hours a month and 1,000 hours a year. The airlines do not exceed those limits but many now schedule much closer to them.

The F.A.A. rules do not address the amount of time between flights, so a pilot could be in uniform 12 hours or more to accumulate the day's hours. Eight hours of rest time every 24 hours is required, however. And pilots feel acutely the difference between getting a month's work in 14 days versus 18 days.

Typicaly a pilot will return to his home airport within 2 days of any flight.
