Question

Can I still become a pilot with a prosthetic left arm (from the elbow downwards). <I am right handed>?

Answer 1

In the US, probably yes.  But you&#039;ll need some stuff from your doc, a demonstration of ability and some other stuff.  If you&#039;re not a member, join AOPA and ask their medical department.  Or you can go to www.virtualflightsurgeon.com and ask there.

Answer 2

Yep. A good friend of mine has a prosthesis on his left arm. The medical appeals section of the FAA will certify you under a &quot;Special issuance&quot; medical certificate.
