Disabled Flying

Anglian Air Centre have adapted a Piper PA28 Warrior II training aircraft for people who wish to learn to fly but do not have full mobility in their legs. The modification allows the rudder pedals to be adjusted with the hands. In this way, full flying control of the aircraft is maintained. There is no additional charge for this modification.

There is wheelchair access to all flight training facilities, including the flight simulator and washroom facilities. A ramp is provided to enable wheelchairs to be located adjacent to the wings of the aircraft. A small amount of assistance is then required to lift you onto the wing where a rubber mat enables you to safely move up the wing and into the cockpit.

VisionAir Hand Control

 

 
 

 

VisionAir Control
This device developed and manufactured in Australia, is approved by the CAA and CASA. Its
sole use is to allow full rudder authority on the ground and in the air, thus removing the need for legs and feet. At the Air Centre, we have delevoped our own techniques with regard to procedures or manoeuvres requiring physical multi-tasking. It is a requirement that all our instructors teaching with the VisionAir hand control can operate and fly with the retro-fit installation.

Gold Wings
Mr Paul Dunstan, a paraplegic who has in 2006 qualified for his private Licence is now in the latter stages of the IMC course. Mr Dunstan would be happy to talk with any potential pilot.
