Tony,

Hmmm, now you really got me thinking. Of course no paperwork was done it
was just on the fly for him to see if I could pass.

Now with this waiver, makes me interested to find out more. I'm in New
York and there are a lot of airports around me that I can inquire about
this. Me thinks the membership for the Pilots Organization and magazine
is now looking way more important to me.

Sports Pilot license with the weight restriction to me would be defeating
the purpose of flying. I dont think a small plane of that weight would
make the trip from the tri-state New York area to at least Boston. But it
would at least get me in the air, and thats what I think is very
important.

Thank you all for all the suggestions. Now I have a whole lot of home
work to do. Gee thanks.... LOL

fly on Flight Simulator instead, or I sit in another seat and watch the

I have a "lazy eye". You simply need a "statement of
demonstrated ability" (SODA), which is granted after
a special FAA flight test. It is no big deal -- I did mine
about 2 months before my private checkride.

I missed out on 20 years of flying because I believed
some idiot who told me I'd "never be able to become
a pilot with just one eye".
