I'm pretty sure anybody can fly any aircraft successfully without the use of my legs
hehe sorry, just jokin' around. I get your point, though. I know of a flight school that specializes in training handicapped people in gliders. They made some special steering system which eliminates the need for certain body parts (e.g. legs). I'm sure you've heard of this too. Anyhow, i have no problem with people who can "demonstrate satisfactory ability" to control an aircraft, but i hardly see how blind people, or deaf, or mentally ill, can do that, without endangering the lives of fellow pilots in the air, or by endangering the lives of the people on the ground.
The problem i have with deaf pilots is, that though it is legal to fly without radio communication in most parts of the world, they are "endangering" the lives of fellow pilots who are currently doing patterns at the same airport.
I have a feeling you, and a few others, will probably not agree with me, but thats okay
