Gary writes: 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. I am aware of that. I was responding to your assertion... "Isn't it possible to get some sort of medical waiver that allows you to fly as long as you have a safety pilot with you (something like that exists for deaf people, I think)? " To me that makes no sense what-so-ever. Such a medical, if issued, seems to be equally as useful as no medical certificate. -Robert Of course not, since the safety pilot would be the putative PIC and the deaf pilot would logically be a passenger with some liability issues added. Which is precisely what drives so many members of this group to distraction. MX always has an opinion, on which he is always ready to expound; but his opinions seem to be correct or incorrect approximately as random chance might dictate. Peter (Grrr!) |

A former coworker of mine would have discribed him as "often in error; never in doubt". -Robert ----------------------------- Very true. :-( Peter The message highlighting problem also continues... :-( |
