another point, in addition to what Dudley wrote; there are a lot of
misconceptions floating around about what physical limitation might or
might not prevent you from getting a medical (e.g., I have a commercial
certificate, no restriction/limitation of any kind, ASEL, AMEL, IFR,
w/ unrestricted class-II medical, and I am short sighted, color blind
and paraplegic; and I am not, by a long shot, the only one out
there, e.g., tbere are few quadras, a bunch of amputees, etc.)

ps oops, not quite true, there is one limitation on my class-II medical:
I must wear corrective lenses :-)

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?

Now that's got me thinking, Dudley! I will look into it before I get any
older. That's got me excited! Thanks.

Not that physically disabled Dudley that I cant get around. I live in
Winter Haven Florida, and we have a million lakes. There is one guy I know
(not personally) who takes people up and trains them for water landings. He
charges only $45 for an hour. I am hassling my wife for a birthday gift to
do it.

I know I will do it. I will post you on my first time up. Thanks for all the
kind words.

Lets see who goes first Old Bloke. *L*

Dan

Find a Cessna dealer in the yellow pages and ask them for an intro flight.
I'm betting you'll do just fine :-))
Let me know how it goes.

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.

No, I've asserted that people on USENET are unreliable, period.

Yet you continue asking your questions.

What does that make you?

(heres a hint - five letters, starts with a T - last two letters are the
same)

OK you don't like Mx. But why continue to be rude? Why not just stop
reading his postings? Usenet is such we only need to read what we want. As
I have said, use Dudley's approach. He is a very wise man. Someone for
whom I have enormous respect.

Hell, unless I'm mistaken, even Bob Hoover had to fly with another
pilot on board, at one time, to act as PIC.


And I'd dare ANYONE to question his flying ability.

Didn't some FAA drone do exactly that? (yanked his medical because his
performance wasn't up to snuff)

You never know who might be calling the FAA.


You really are a complete asshole, aren't you?

Have you considered flying an aircraft tailored to compensate for your
disabilities?

In your case that would be one without wings, fjukktard]
