PPL with prostetic limb

[Stumpyotoole]

Hi,
I did a trial lesson today with a potential PPL conversion - but the lady in question has a prosthetic leg. I am sure she will be able to learn to fly but am not sure what the best way to go about it is - or if it would be better for her to go somewhere with aircrft equipped for this type of disability. She has a prosthetic leg - the right one - from above the knee. She was very keen and thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and it would be a shame if she could not continue if we are not equipped to accomodate her. The school operates C172s.

Any help gratefully recieved - or if anyone knows of a school which could give me some advice that would be great!

Not a great problem, there is a one legged JAA FI Martyn Lloyd at AAA in the USA. I did a PPL Skill Test with a candidate who was a paraplegic a couple of years ago; if only they were all as good as he was. Probably the best place to start is with an AME.
