also you could join a model rocketry club
• In high school you should study aeronautics
and start taking some private flying lessons
• In college you should go to a university that
gives out degrees for being a pilot

There are a ton of colleges that give out
degrees for aeronautics but here are a few

• Columbus State Community College
• Utah State University
• Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics

5. Why I’m a good fit for being a pilot
I think I’m a good fit for being a pilot
because, I like to control technology and be high
in the sky. Also I’m a good fit because whenever
I go into a plane and we take off, I wonder how
they do it so smoothly and safely and whenever
I’m in the sky I feel like I’m on top of the world.

6. What obstacles
might prevent me
from being a pilot?
• It will be hard for me to become a
pilot because I’m better at
science than at math and to be a
pilot you need to know math to
take off, land, and know how
high and low you are in the sky
• Also it might be hard because
one wrong answer on the written
test and you have to take it again
some other time
• Also it might be hard to fly the
plane or helicopter because if
there is a situation that applies
and a lot of pressure I can’t think
straight or a solution

7. Companies that employ pilots
There are a lot of companies that employ
pilots but here are a few of the big companies
• Delta Airlines
• U.S. Airways
• Southwest Airlines
• United Airlines
