Angel Speech Imp..imped..impedi....Problem

To all concerned,

I feel it is my duty to ask for other professional pilots opinions on a topic that is very relevant to today’s aviation industry.

Should people with a ‘stutter’ problem be allowed to hold a pilots license?

There are several issues that concern me with regards to this physical disposition.

1) The use of radios.
2) The use of checklists.
3) Emergencies.
4) Public Relations.

Is it just my own outdated opinion that tongue tied and twisted pilots should have their licenses removed for the safety of the travelling public? Please be aware that I do not have a personal grudge against any person whom has difficulty talking properly. I do find it hard to converse with them and often cannot spare the time to stand and gape, silently mouthing the appropriate words that they are trying to say. I find it frustrating that I am required to complete their sentences, and I have to admit to getting annoyed at the fact that their eyes will roll up and their lids half close when attempting to get even the most simple word out.

Please feel free to add your comments.



Mmm mm mmmm Ay ay ayyyy D d ddd dayyyyy
