Personally I have a disability in the form of nerve damage in my left leg. I also have footdrop in the left leg but I can put force down through the foot deflecting it. I fly a PA28 and am realistically reliant upon the hand brake as I feel i cannot safely use the left foot brake - thus limiting my aircraft choice.

I was awarded a flying scholarship through fsdp and gained my NPPL in little over 3 weeks. I then went onto gain the class 2 medical and upgrade to the Jar and subsequently the IMC and Night qual.

Next aim is to gain a class 1 and start the commercial stuff. You wont find me in any airliners, but I would like to instruct one day.
