I was wondering about that because Anthony's assertion that there is
a specical medical for deaf pilots that only allows them to fly with
another pilot makes no sense.


A deaf pilot can get just about any certificate except certain types
of commercial certificate; essentially she can obtain anything that
doesn't require radio communication. During the medical, she must
take a Special Medical Flight Test to verify that she can recognize an
engine failure, recognize an approaching stall, and recognize
retractable gear emergencies. If she passes that, eventually she'll
get a SODA and her medical.


Oh brother. Now he's regulating.


Do they do that in sim world? After all they have littl eassholes
pretending to be ATC why not have a few virtual feds?
