Yes
Being a pilot involves operating and navigating aircraft safely and efficiently, while an author involves creating written works such as novels, articles, or scripts. Both require strong attention to detail, critical thinking skills, and creativity in their respective fields.
If holding the controls in the LIGHT position for about 15-30 seconds does not keep your pilot lit, there is probably a problem with the thermocouple. That is the small tube that the pilot flame touches. Be sure it is not bent, and being missed by the pilot flame. They do go bad, and require replacement.
Yes because the skillls are transferable and the skills are similiar.
I presume you mean an aeroplane pilot as opposed to a naval pilot. Aeroplane pilots have to have skills in mathematics and technology; it's likely they have a scientific background.
Yes. The pilot has to obtain atleast a Bronze certificate to pilot the balloon alone.
In most aircraft a co-pilot is not needed. However, most larger commercial passenger aircraft do require them. Airplanes require constant checks and re-checks of systems and checklists. A co-pilot helps to alleviate some of these tasks, and also allows for a system of redundancy between the pilot and co-pilot. Besides the redundancy, passenger airlines typically require a first officer or co-pilot for safety reasons. If something should happen to the pilot, the co-pilot has the ability to take over and perform an emergency landing.
Nope - Aircraft controls don't require the pilot to be right-handed.
about six years for a certain pilot job
Most manual transmissions do require a pilot bearing.
Some of the disadvantages of being a pilot include being away from family and missing out on family events, working unsociable hours and no room for challenge as being a pilot is as senior as you can get.
Only If they are in a certain school that flies.
Depends on the type of pilot. Working as a Pilot for a company such as the RAF would require 20/20 vision. However just a pilot of a private plane may be ok.
