Interesting. She flies an ERCO Ercoupe - an aircraft designed in the 40s which doesn't have rudder pedals. The rudder is interconnected to the ailerons and nosewheel for turn co-ordination and ground steering through the wheel.
I would guess her licence is endorsed with an aircraft limitation to account for that.
I wonder how it handles crosswinds?

.........................Christ how trivial are the things in our so called normal life are when we see this amazing woman!
I feel we ought to be grateful, feel lucky but when you really think about it in many ways Jessica is the lucky one here, she turns an obvious disability into a huge positive where we 'normal' people would see it as a disadvantage!
Go get 'em girl we stand aside for you to show us the way
