You can do it I'm sure. No reason at all not to. Personally I think you'll
be amazed at how easy it is to fly an airplane.
Go for the intro flight, and let me know how you make out.

Like I said, Because of physical limitations, I would never be able to
get a license. I saw an earlier post from someone who said that flying
duo would be OK. Does that mean that I could handle the plane?

Dan

Yes. Any instructor, or pilot for that matter, can allow you to handle
the controls during a flight.
I would suggest you go out to the nearest airport and simply ask for a
demonstration flight. Any CFI can do this for you and allow you all the
access you desire in handling the aircraft. A physical limitation might
deny you a medical, but you can take all the dual instruction you want to
without a medical. You just can't solo.
In fact, in theory anyway, it is actually possible for you to become the
finest pilot in the world while doing it all with an instructor with you
in the airplane. As long as that CFI is in there with you, he is pilot in
command, but you can do all the flying your limitations will allow. The
instructor will decide where these limits are.
Were you flying with me, and you could handle the airplane, I see no
reason whatsoever that would deny you the experience of handling the
aircraft from takeoff through landing; in other words, as long as I or
some other instructor is in there with you and you can cut it, the
airplane can be yours.
Of course I have no idea just how bad your physical limitation might be.
I'm assuming what you are discussing might be enough to deny you a
medical, but not enough to actually keep you physically from flying the
airplane.
With me, or any instructor who is any good at all, our only rule is that
we won't allow you to kill us or bend the airplane...that's it!! Aside
from that, it's yours to handle, so why not give it a go??? There might
be no reason at all why you can't enjoy the beauties of flight and come
back here on the group as a contributor with answers as well as questions
:-))
How's THIS for something to think about?
Dudley Henriques
Now that's got me thinking, Dudley! I will look into it before I get any
older. That's got me excited! Thanks.
