Generalized the question to cover the same meaning but be more widely applicable.

To land you'll need to proficient either kung-fu if you're flying in the northern hemisphere, or krav maga if you're flying in the southern. On top of that you will probably want to get laser eyes installed. Just kidding, pilots are just normal people who are in better than average health | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 7:25 | comment | added | Simon | I think a better question is why do you think that the characteristics you've listed suggest you could not be a pilot? | |
