Hi
To be a pilot it would be fair to say that you have to be fitter than the average person.
What do you do on a day to day basis to make sure that you keep fit.
And just out of curosity how worried are you about your eyesight and health getting worse as you grow older and are you quite careful about your eyesight eg, when watching tv etc..( ive got a bad habit of watching tv in the dark).
The reason why i ask is, as a wannabe i would consider myself above average fitness but im just worried that in the future i might not be able to sustain that fitness(40s and 50s) and i am just generally worried about having to go to class ones every 6mths at that age.
do all pilots feel like this even when they have passed their first medical and have to continually do so in the future.
any comments would be great.
cheers
