Can a lame legged man(left leg lame) become a pilot in the airlines if everything else is okay?
To become an airline pilot, you must have at least a high school diploma or equivalent. Most airlines also require a bachelor's degree, preferably in aviation, engineering, or a related field. Additionally, you must complete flight training and obtain a commercial pilot's license.
Airline pilots must meet certain physical requirements, including having 20/20 vision (corrected or uncorrected), good hearing, and being in overall good health. You may also be required to pass a physical exam and maintain a certain level of physical fitness throughout your career.
The amount of flight experience required to become an airline pilot varies depending on the airline and type of aircraft. Generally, you must have a minimum of 1,500 flight hours, including 250 hours as a pilot in command, to qualify for an airline transport pilot (ATP) certificate. However, some airlines may require more flight experience.
To become an airline pilot, you must be at least 23 years old. This age requirement is set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and applies to all pilots operating under Part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
The job outlook for airline pilots is positive, with a projected growth rate of 4% from 2019-2029, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, competition for these positions is high, so gaining experience and networking within the industry can increase your chances of securing a job as an airline pilot.
