Thanks for the headsup on medical standards. I checked your link and see
no
problems there except perhaps hearing. I do have hearing aids in both
ears:
is that a showstopper? (The leftseat.com site wasn't clear on that.)
Thanks.

Do a search for the deaf pilots association. You'll find the answer is that
it's not a showstopper.

With your enthusiasm and past experience you should be able to pass
your private training.

The main issue is your health. Is it OK to pass the FAA medical. For
FAA medical standards see http://www.leftseat.com/FAAforms.htm

Also expect to pay about $6K for your training. The average training
flight time is more like 60 hours and not 40.
