Aircraft | | | i want to become a pilot for southwest airlines...i was wondering if the purdues aviation class was a good aviation class. is it hard to get into? what does your GPA have to be to get into purdues aviation technology ?
| | A. | I'm sure that their program is fine. However, suggest that you explore alternatives as well. It is important to look into all possible paths toward your goals before you commit to anything.
A university program will often cost much more than training at a typical flight school, and there isn't much advantage to going to an aviation university because at the end of the day, a pilot certificate is a pilot certificate and hours are hours, no matter where you got them. In addition, many people recommend getting a degree outside of aviation to diversify your experiences and to serve as a backup plan.
Do your homework before embarking on this career, and definitely consider all possible paths to your goals. Also get many sources of information because every pilot has a different perspective. The sites below can help as well.

| | A. | Your First Class medical exam does not test for drugs, BUT if you want to fly for a living, any company that hires you as a commercial pilot is required to test , both pre-employment and random screens. If you want to fly for a living, DON'T DO DRUGS! | | | |

| Q. | Aviation - What rules apply to Class E airspace in the USA? | Related Search:
Aircraft | | | Whatever is controlled airspace and is not A, B, C, or D is Class E airspace. What radio procedures apply for Class E control zones, class E airways, etc.
Great answers so far, thank you. Are there Class E airports? In Canada we have Class E airports where you have to call 5 minutes prior to entering the Class E control zone. Is this the same in the USA?
| | A. | This is the hardest thing to understand in avaition for almost every pilot.. so a breif.. breif overview..
Class E extends either from the surface, 700AGL, or 1500AGL, or 14,500 up to but not including 18000MSL. where as class G will underline it.
Class E has no communiction requirements to enter, and you dont need a radio to fly in it.
The only entry requirment for the pilot it a student pilot cert., and there is no aircraft equipment requirements.
Class E is controlled airspace that has weather mins to be legal to fly, which is 1000 above, 500 below, and 3 miles visiblity below 10000msl, and increased above 10000msl to 1000 above, 1000 feet below, and 5sm visiablty.
The purpose of Class E is to allow ATC to have control over aircraft on IFR flight plans, and to increase the weather requimrents to legally fly, without imposing increased communications / equipment restrictions on pilots. The are also used in the step ups and step downs for aircraft to fly in controlled airspace from the termianal area to the enroute structrue under ATC postive control.
