True, thank you. I can imagine a lower blood pressure would not be preferable when pulling several g's for the risk of blacking out.

This question would probably be best answered by someone in the medical field or a pilot: Do beta-blockers hinder one's ability to qualify for the Pilot trade? Ie. low dosages, ~10mg Propanolol. Thanks for input, and happy flying.  :salute:

Yes thanks everyone. I know this is quite a far look into the future for me, but hopefully others find it useful too. :salute:

Interesting! Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is actually the one I am looking at!

I'm currently a 3rd year Chemical Engineering student going through ROTP, currently in the ACSO trade. My question is, what kind of opportunities are there to pursue graduate studies (possibly in aerospace/mechanical engineering) at some point during my career? Would studying in the United...

Thanks for all the input everyone, looking forward to the training.

Hello everyone, I am wondering what the duration is for second language training is in Quebec over the summer? The reason I ask is because I would like to get my commercial pilot license before or after, which takes 6 weeks. Does this seem possible? Cheers, Phil

Thanks for all of your input everyone. ROTP ACSO is certainly a great opportunity, and the trade itself is unique and could allow me to fly in the civvy world during any free time! However I have one last question. Through the grapevine I've heard that one is eligible to bypass PFT with a...

Is it possible at all to transfer during my university years?

Hi everyone, Earlier this year I was sent to Trenton for capss and failed with a ppl. I applied for ACSO instead, and I have received an offer! I'm going into second year university at UBC and I was wondering, if I can get my cpl during next summer and I accept the ACSO offer, would I be...

Are there any civilian-related trades that I could transfer my ACSO skills to?

Can someone please fill me in with some background information on the ACSO trade?? On what basis do they select the type of aircraft you fly on? Thanks for any help here.

After some researching, the Victoria Flying Club offers a commercial pilot license for just over $10000: http://www.flyvfc.com/flight_training/index.php?id=17&press=1&draw_column=1:3:2#CPL Some of the cadets on my power course did their PPL training here. I did mine at Montair Aviation in Pitt...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone could answer my question here. Is possible to transfer trades from ACSO to Pilot, and if it is possible, the likelihood of it. ACSO seems like a great trade, but I've always wanted to do pilot. I've done the Glider and Power Pilot Scholarship courses through the Air...

Silentstriker, that's what I did as well.  Unfortunately, I've only had my air nav exam and turned down the job offer because I really want to get pilot. I applied at the beginning of last year (my grade 12) and I'm in first year university taking engineering and I'm still waiting for an offer...

Hey how long did it take you to get from your application to an offer to aircrew selection? Are you in school?

Does anybody know how many pilots will be taken and/or hired this year? I've heard it can be anywhere from zero to one hundred.

Okay I will thank you!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how long it takes the Air Force to hire pilots after a potential candidate has completed aircrew selection? I am still waiting for a call to the selection though, and I am hoping gaining flying hours this summer will help. I have also done a lot of research...

well i dont really know, they said they were only hiring about 20 to 30 pilots this year and were choosing ones with lots of flying experience and degrees, so thats probly why. would having written and passing the air nav exam also help my pilot application?
