Dyslexia and Commercial (or PPL) flying

Does anyone have any experience of any pilot who has been dyslexic or have any information on whether or not this is likely to hold a person back from going all the way to a commercial pilot or indeed just going for a PPL in the UK?


I suffer from Dyslexia, however I have 2 A's in Physics and Electronics at A level and a B in English Language at A Level, so have no trouble academically.


The question is never asked on application forms, and I see no reason why it would affect me, but I have often wondered if there are many dyslexic commercial pilots...
