Triaxial 0 #1 April 3, 2008 I have become friends with a man that is truly inspirational. He is the first ever instrument rated deaf pilot. He also has his commercial license. Check out the video where he talks about his passion to fly from a little child. Click He has done a skydive and recounts it as an amazing experience.

ACMESkydiver 0 #2 April 3, 2008 Very cool! I was trying to find some info on a deaf student pilot I think was here out of Renton Muni (same airport I used to fly out of for a short time). Couldn't find it...I'd be interested int he modifications that were necessary so that he could understand ATC... ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

mx757 4 #5 April 4, 2008 not sure what restriction he has on his ratings... if I wanted to I could get a Insterment rating too.. but I'm happy flying Vfr if weather isn't vFr I stay on ground out fly AA and drink and fly...In First class.. there is another deaf pitot with a insterment rating... I'm deaf and left arm amputee and I hold FAA private pilot and FAA Airframe and Powerplant ratings I'm working on my commerical rating. new technology like GPS data link and H.U. D like highway in sky boxes will make it easier for deaf in future... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
