Avaition Hungry
New Member
Hello everyone! My name is Zane and I am new to this forum. I recently turned 20 years old and I am currently attending a 2 year junior college in California with plans to transfer to UCSB, UCSD, Calpoly SLO or SDSU. I would love to become a commercial airline pilot, but only after I get my chance to fly a jet with a chance to give back to my country. I have been doing alot of research and talking with Navy recruiters about the Navys BDCP and I am very interested in joining this program.
I have begun to take classes to recieve my Private Pilots License and I love it. I am 6'2, 200 pounds, and I run 5 miles about three times a week wile working out at the gym everyday. I am confident in my phyisical abilities as well as my cognitive abilities. But I am at a puase in the road because I have no idea what to major in.
I would love to minor in Astronomy as that's what gives me that joy deep inside. I say a minor because to my knowlege, who wants to hire an astronomy major? haha, Anyway, I am currently taking calculus and physics and I was thinking about either Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
I guess my question is what do most Aviators major in, and how relavent is the degree to the likely hood of becoming an aviator?
Also, I have been flying a Tecnam Bravo during my flying lessons, and I wanted to know what would be the best type of plane to learn on. I figured that since the Tacnam is lighter than the Cessna, I would be forced to learn faster when learning how to trim correctly and use my rudders properly. Does that seem logical or am I just making stuff up? haha, Thank you to all who read this.
