    Blind Ground School Instructor Revisited

    I do not have a way to contact this person, or I would. When I knew him, he never mentioned he was a Ground School Instructor. If he had, I would have done it then.

    Blind Ground School Instructor Revisited

    I was on this forum back in 2020. My plan then, and still is to become an Advanced Ground School Instructor. I'm also planning to add instrument to this. I put studying on hold because of the pandemic, and because I was involved in an automobile accident last year. Though I'm totally blind...

    Loss of sight in one eye

    Think about becoming an Advanced Ground School Instructor. You may not be able to be at the controls of an airplane, but you can still be involved in aviation.

    Blind Advanced Ground School Instructor and Instrument

    That's if I can get there. As far as I know, that's out of public transit range. When I am in the DFW area, my transportation options are DART, TRE, or DCTA. I could use Uber or Lyft on occasion, as long as it's not a long distance. When I am in Dallas, I stay out by Love Field. The reason is...

    Blind Advanced Ground School Instructor and Instrument

    I think I know this individual! The name is familiar. He probably won't remember me, but we got our guide dogs from the same school. I think I may have seen him at local guide dog events in Daytona when he was here.

    Blind Advanced Ground School Instructor and Instrument

    I don't think I'll need to change anything. As long as I know the material, I can teach. If there are visual elements, I'll enlist the help of my students, or I can use a service called Aira for this. The way I'm studying now is I downloaded the Aviation Instructor's Handbook from the FAA...

    Blind Advanced Ground School Instructor and Instrument

    This is. a difficult question to answer. It's an experience I enjoyed, and like it each time I fly. I feel the aircraft go up and down, when ascending or descending. You can feel when the aircraft is turning. I have manipulated the controls, and have gone through these things. I know when...

    Mark, IT's interesting you mention Texas. I'm there at least once a year. Not this year because of the virus. I try to attend the 170 events whenever I can in Texas. My home base when I'm there is Dallas. I believe there will be a 170 event in the spring. If I can work out the details, I'll...

    Blind Advanced Ground School Instructor and Instrument

    I have no vision at all. Blind people use the words "look, see, watch" just like everyone else. It would sound strange if I Sid "I listen to Youtube videos." I'm using a computer that has a program called a screen reader. This takes text that appears on the screen and reads it to me through...

    No music at all while the content of the video is being presented. Give as much verbal description as possible. I hope to go flying with someone, and record it. My goal is to post it on my Youtube channel. I'm going to have the pilot go over all the checklists, and give the folks who are...

    Blind Advanced Ground School Instructor and Instrument

    I have a lot more things keeping me involved in aviation than just ATC. That's a big part of it! I have several Youtube channels I follow. I also participate in the Breaking the Chain Zoom calls. As time goes on, I'll find other things to help me keep the interest alive. Communicating with...

    Premier 1 driver reported to FAA by "pilot"

    I hatched this pilot's videos. They are very informative, and if given the chance I'd like to take a ride with him in that airplane. The way he explains things is very understandable. Im sure if you spend any time with him, he'l teach you something about being a pilot.
