My wife and I were talking about flying, and she is deaf.She can't believe that she can fly, but I remember a website dedicated to providing information for deaf pilots, does anyone have the link?Thanks

See www.google.com and search on "information for deaf pilots". There are many sites that may be of interest to you.Doug

Yes there are many deaf pilots in fact one of my last students before I began a career of corporate flying was deaf.The FAA even has (or had back then) a guide for instructors who had deaf students. A deaf person can get a private pilot certificate, and a commercial pilot certificate with limitations, where they can fly for operations, which does not require ATC radio communication. Ag pilots and a banner tow pilot come to mind
