Just curious.

Yes. We have a captain at Eagle with a prosthetic leg.

Yes you can.... You have to get a SODA, but if you can use the pedals just fine, there should be no problem.

It needed to be said. The original poster had the same amount of sarcasm.

Anybody ever fly or train with him? I hope he does make it back. It'd be a much needed turning point for the FAA in terms of Medical Flight Standards.

There are a few guys at comair with prosthetic legs. I wish him the best, but i don't see it happening.

I think the brain injury issue would be a much bigger hold-up for him than a prosthetic leg. Sounds like he has limited function in his remaining leg as well. I hope he gets a shot, but brain injuries are real hard to overcome I believe.

If I am not mistaken, the FO on that FedEx plane where the crew was attacked by the jumpseater had a brain injury - i believe he has lost his medical forever - can't even do the light sport thing in an LSA.

Good luck to him!
