Hi Everyone,
My name is Robert Danner. I am disabled with a mild case of cerebral palsy and I'm getting my sports pilot license, I believe that the sports pilot category is the best thing in a very long time. Even though for the last 40 plus year that the paralyzed have been able to fly with hand controls the sport pilot category is making it so other disabled people like myself has a equal chance to be able to fly. The most well know disabled non paralyzed person that has a sports pilot ticket is a girl in her 20's by the name of Jessica Cox and she has no arms. I'm turning 50 in January and it look like I will be the first disabled person with cerebral palsy with a sports pilot ticket. I believe that the sports pilot category is a great thing for everyone and not just for the disabled. I do not agree with the others that have said that they believe that the sports pilot is DOA, if anything it's alive and very well and great stepping stone to getting ones private pilot.
Think of this soon one will be able to get a private pilot without a medical, and from what I'm reading when you goto get your private pilot without a medical you will be able to get a four seater with a 180hp engine, but you are only able to take yourself and your pet (dog) and one friend up at a time.
