Is it necessary to do aeronautical engineering 2 become a pilot?
I am a Canadian whose job was in Aerospace recruitment. I sourced applicable candidates here in Canada, USA, UK, Taiwan and Brazil. In my opinion, the need for good, highly skilled personnel in the category of Aeronautical Engineering & Flight Sciences is on-going. Within that subgroup there are categories such as aircraft design, airframe stress and loads analysis, manufacturing engineer, reliability & maintainability engineering… to name only a few. As for wanting to be a pilot – yes that makes sense to me. In my experience – at least 2+ out of 10 candidate resumes I reviewed were in possession of a pilots license. If you can achieve a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and obtain a pilots licence – i say do both. Take charge and pursue your goals. Pilots and astronauts may have multiple degrees in fields of study such as medicine, biology, psychology, human ergonomics… etc. I propose going to university and in your available time – attend a recreational pilot school.
