How can a pilot with dyslexia read this forum
<Rant on>
I hope that comment was flippent otherwise it means that you are falling for a common misunderstanding of what dyslexia means.
</rant off>

I have a mildish form of dyslexia which means that I have to read everything twice to check I got it right first time and I am a nightmare when it comes to spelling. Having said that I ended up quite nicely with a degree (a mathermatical disciplin) and while only a PPL, found nothing to I could not handle and feel that from the academic side, I could have gone much further as a pilot.

Header - good luck with your career. Ok, I'm no ATPL, but I would suggest that maybe you should interview the schools carefully to find one who understands the nature of dyslexia and can help you.
