    My profile encompasses 50 yrs of jet aircraft production, maintenance, management of flight test facility hangar, starting in, quality control as early as 1961.
    My flight safety skills, won me an award for helping a crippled (zero hyd. pressure in utility) jet to land safely with only 3.0 mts.of fuel in the tanks which resulted in an engine flaming out in glide path.
    The details are in the link in google.
    Aeronautical Society of India awarded me life membership-M.Ae.S.I.
    However what I wish to know, whether it is possible to pursue your B.Sc course on line?
    I thank you.
    Warm regards
