Aloha from Hawaii!
I just had a couple of questions about the requirements. I am going to be moving to WA here in a few weeks and I’m currently looking into the ATP Flight school tacoma. I read in a previous question that someone had asked about eye sight and the requirement for that. I do wear glasses and contacts so obviously that was one of my biggest concerns as far as requirements. I do have an appointment with my eye doctor in 3 weeks so i’ll have an updated prescription. I also had spoken to this nice gentlemen a while back who had mention I would have to obtain a first class medical exam before starting the program and I was wondering how I start on that part. As far as physical requirements, if there is any, I’m hoping I fit the requirements for that as well. I’m 5’2" and I weigh about 106. I know i’m a little tiny, but I am also fit and in shape. I’m sure I have lots more questions to ask, but I just wanted to get this part figured out first Thank you!
For the civilian (airline) world, glasses and contacts are fine as long as you can be corrected to 20/20 with them. I always get an updated prescription myself before my medical exams, just to make sure that I am seeing as clearly as possible.
I currently live in Seatac, WA and just got my medical renewed by Randal
Franke. You should be able to find him through the link Chris sent you. If
not I can send you his contact info.
As the guys said your vision and finding an AME should be no problem. Finally while you’re definitely petite, I know one female pilot who’s 5’ even so you should be fine. You’ll actually be much more comfy in the small planes then the big guys so that’s a plus.
