NASA Research Pilot

Hi, I'm from Australia and I was wondering if you have to have USA citizenship to be a NASA Research pilot or not?

As long as you're between 17 and 23, have at least 1000 hrs on Microsoft Flight Sim and can tie your shoelaces, you'll be eligible for their fast track test pilot scheme. Good luck.

How about having a look on their website, and if it doesn't say there, try contacting them. You may want to consider a few intermediate steps first, like getting a PPL, then joining the RAAF. Just a thought.

Glad to be of service.

I guess this was the first website you looked at:

http://www.nasajobs.nasa.gov/ and you quickly found that the series code for US Federal sector pilot jobs is 2181.

And after 3 minutes of digging:

Citizenship
With the exception of the Senior Executive Service (SES), NASA positions almost always require US citizenship. The vacancy announcement will specify if citizenship is required. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you may wish to consider opportunities with one of our International Space Partners. The NASA Jobs web page has information on these partners, Job Information/Other Opportunities/Information for Non U.S. Citizens.

Now...how are your shoelaces?
