For me, I belong in the first group, what I did was I’d made a list of three career that I was wondering about and collect some information. I found that becoming an airplane pilot …show more content…

Each one of these branches has its own program. However, In order to fly an airplane and carry passengers, students need to major in Aeronautical Science. Aeronautical Science covers the practical theory of aeronautics and aviation, including operations, navigation, air safety and human factors, and it provides three degree levels Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PH.D. Graduation with Bachelor’s degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will achieve my dream. I’ve chosen to major in Aeronautical Science and earned the Bachelor’s degree. This major requires me to complete 121 credit hours, which divided on the course of General Education course, Aeronautical Science core course, Flight core course, and some other courses to complete one specialization.

At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I will be consisting in the Aeronautical Science core course and the Flight core course. In the Aeronautical Science course, I will be taking general subject, such as aerodynamics, aviation weather, and flight psychology. However, in the Flight core course, my dream will be true. It just will be flights. I will be flying all the time. I will do my best to earn my PLL, IPL, and CPL. I think that when I become a commercial pilot, I will have gained about 300 total hours. I will not stop there, I will try to work as an instructor. Why I will work as an instructor is because, I want to build up my flight hours to 500 or more. By getting that amount of hours, I may have the chance of being a first officer in any Qatar Airlines. In fact, The pilot has to have some skills, abilities, and knowledge that he/she
