      Well I don't know - if she wants to be a commercial pilot (fly jet airliners), she probably will be refused, as well as anyone who has vision deficiency etc. So in this case I would wonder whether it's ourselves or someone/something else that is holding us back.

      vision would be more important to flying than limb ability. If you could manipulate the controls there is no reason she couldn’t be a commercial pilot

    The little plane she flys is an Ercoupe, built in the 40s to have coordinated flight controls so there are no pedals down on the floor. Its perfect for her, a very safe airplane. She is very determined, and very blessed.

    @HDaviator There is logic to the concern.
    I have flown many types of commercial aircraft as well as Design/Develop/service.
    Under normal conditions I would not hesitate to fly with her.
    Under extreme weather conditions with turbulence I have no reservations that she would have extreme difficulty controlling her physical position in the aircraft resulting in the control of the aircraft being compromised.
    Outside of that, she is one very special and extremely talented human being. Very impressive.

    Jessica you are an inspiration and a walking example for all of us that are full of excuses. You go girl!!!! You rock! And I simply LOVED your book: "Disarm your Limits" is a page-turner and incredibly motivational. You take the word 'Impossible' and turn it into 'I'm possible" and prove that there really is no such work at impossible.

    I had to look up the plane which she was flying as I couldn't believe it either. She flys an ERCO Ercoupe which uses a a two-control system linked the rudder and aileron systems.
    This type of plane does NOT have rudder peddles (first that I heard for me!) and is considered a beginners plane that has automatic yaw correction.

    How did you get the FAA Medical Certificate ?
    What about the rudder pedal? If it is connected to the yoke, it would be difficult- if not impossible - to take off or land in crosswind and to recover from spin !

    • @Puffmac1
      @Puffmac1 5 років тому

      The important bit they left out was that it's an ERCO Ercoupe which has no rudder pedals. The yoke is linked to the rudder and ailerons allowing coordinated flight with just the yoke.

    That's great - I'm happy to see this and wish her the best. I was curious how she operated the rudder pedals - I read the comments and found out that she flies an airplane that has the rudder pedals linked to the ailerons. So now I wonder how the lack of direct rudder control would affect cross-wind landings, but apparently people are flying it in cross-wind without too much trouble.

    • @Mike-01234
      @Mike-01234 3 роки тому

    Technically she is not a private pilot, she is a "sport pilot". In all likelihood she would be unable to appease the FAA enough to get a third class medical needed to fly as a private pilot, but the sport pilot license lets an individual fly by using a driver's license as a medical. She's restricted to daytime, VFR flight and flying airplanes that are sport pilot eligible (such as the Ercoupe she's flying in the video). All in all, she's an incredibly impressive young lady.
