Organization Is Helping Pilots with Disabilities
The EAA fields a lot of calls through its volunteer aeromedical program, often asked about a variety of disabilities that some prospective aviators feel could prevent them from licensure. While some conditions do preclude students from attaining their desired level of training, many members are surprised to find out just how many can be overcome. Their newest effort to assist those with unique challenges is The Adapt to Fly Scholarship fund, designed to help those with disabilities enter the world of aviation. Totalling $5,000 through EAA’s Flight Training Scholarship Program, applications are accepted through November 1.
