I’m currently a senior in high school. I want to go to college next year and major in meteorology. I also want to get my pilots license because so I can become a hurricane hunter and fly directly in hurricanes. Also, in case I don’t get a job as meteorologists, I can be a pilot as my backup plan. My question is, how good of a condition must your health be to be a pilot? I have neurological problems and I’m taking a few prescriptions and over the counter medications. Would that disqualify me from being a pilot for an airport? How about a hurricane hunter for the National Weather Service? Sources?
Answer:
Well your going to need to crawl before you walk. Go to your local small airport and look for the AME (he is the FAA MD) Ask him what can be done for various ratings and certificates because your going to need more than a PPL to fly into a hurricane. Best of luck to you Regards
