    Pilot with Arm Prosthesis?

    Bruce man I can’t believe this. They are actually making it very difficult almost impossible to get this medical. I called the number you gave and they pulled up my file. He said they couldn’t schedule the check ride until I complied with what was on the letter. So, I scheduled another exam with...

    Pilot with Arm Prosthesis?

    Yes, that's what I am thinking too; an oh c*ap moment. Looks more like a denial. It says based on my physical I do not meet the med standards prescribed by Title 14 of Part 67. By virtue of my failure to provide info requested by their office, it has been determined that I do not qualify...

    Resuming flight training, need a bit of help.

    What about 141 training do you not like? The cirrus, well, I would be more concerned about the safety of that airplane rather than its instrumentation but that's just me.

    Pilot with Arm Prosthesis?

    Hi, I was in a plane crash almost nine years ago and lost my right arm below the elbow. I now have a prosthesis that looks like an arm/hand and has marginal function that allows me to safely fly the plane. Just wondering if anyone has heard of or knows anyone who flies with ARM prosthetics...
