Disabled Flying
Right: before we start this is not a medical question but rather one of practicalities which is why I am posting here rather than the medical forum!
I am an above-knee amputee (right leg) which means I have very restricted movement below the knee - especially when I am sitting.
A couple or so years ago I took one of these taster flights in a Cessna 152 from Shobdon and thoroughly enjoyed it. Once I was in the air I had little problem in controlling the aircraft - effectively by not using the rudder. The aircraft was turned by banking and pulling back. Whether or not this is normal I know not but the instructor seemed happy!
The problem came following landing and it was simple: I couldn't use the toe brakes to steer!
There must be amputee pilots out there who can help me if I wanted to take flying up!
Any ideas ?
