Popular Post Knowdafish 1,772 Posted October 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2013 Fil-Am Jessica Cox was born without arms - but that didn't stop her from becoming a black belt, a scuba diver and the first ever armless PILOT! If Jessica can fly a plane with only her feet, what's stopping you from living the life you want to? 10 Link to post Share on other sites

SkyMan 23,722 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If Jessica can fly a plane with only her feet, what's stopping you from living the life you want to? To be honest, I am also disabled. I was born without a huge bank account. I think it's great she can do that. I just hope she doesn't get a cramp like I would sitting like that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Knowdafish 1,772 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I just hope she doesn't get a cramp like I would sitting like that. I was thinking that too. The other thing is that pilots need to multi-task quit often and an extra set of hands can come in really handy, but I am sure she has found ways to improvise. One way, on larger aircraft, is with trim tabs which can ease the work of using the controls a bit, but the plane she is in I think doesn't have them. The throttle doesn't need adjusting often so that is one less thing to do. It would be interesting to see how she manages to do it all especially flying solo. Link to post Share on other sites
