The Able Flight program was founded with a mission to make it possible for people living with disabilities to earn their sport pilot certificate. Nearly 20 years after it was established, the program celebrated in a big way during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 by pinning wings on its 100th pilot. #eaa #aircraft #aviation #ableflight

0:03We have to adapt to the world. The world unfortunately isn't adapted to us just yet.

0:25In 2006, I became aware of hand controls for an imported LSA. And also looked at the fact that we had the sport pilot rule.

0:37And I realized that we had an opportunity in the United States for people with a physical disability to become a licensed pilot.

0:41So, along with some other folks, I created Able Flight in April of 2006 and started training our first pilots in 2007.

0:49Our first training was at a local flight school. Actually, it was a flight school that was created for Able Flight in the Atlanta area.

0:58And we did that for about a year.

0:59And then we moved our program to Purdue University.

1:03And we were with Purdue for almost 14 years.

1:06And then last year, we moved the program here to Southern Illinois University.

1:50When someone, uh, is interested in becoming a pilot, and go through our website, they'll find all the information on there in the frequently asked questions, and then they'll find a form they can download, fill out and send in.

2:03We look at each person as an individual.

2:05We have a group of about 10 people that read every application and rank it, and we take those rankings and decide who gets an interview, and after that in-person interview, then we make our decisions.

2:18It's typically five or six people a year.

2:27I think a lot of people think that they're learning to fly process through Able Flight will start when you arrive at the university.

2:32But it actually starts months in advance. We're very fortunate that Sporties, uh, provides a full package of prep materials for the knowledge exam.

2:40So they'll spend about three and a half months after they're selected doing the ground school online.

2:50That'll be supplemented by online streaming from SIU, so they'll take the written before they arrive here.

3:38For me, it didn't seem like a a big change, um, because the fundamentals of flight were still there.

3:49They're still having to hold their altitude, hold their air speed.

3:52And I think those fundamentals of flight apply.

1:21FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1:21SCHOLARSHIPS AND TRAINING

1:211. Who can apply?

1:21Any U.S. citizen seventeen years or older with a physical disability that significantly impairs function can apply. Able Flight has awarded scholarships to people who use wheelchairs due to spinal cord injury, wounded veterans, people with a variety of congenital birth defects, and people who have lost limbs.

1:212. How do I apply for a scholarship?

1:21First, please read all of the questions and answers on this page. Then visit the Scholarships page on this website and you'll find several versions of a downloadable application form. Read the description of each type of scholarship and choose the form that best applies to your situation. You'll find instructions on the form.

1:213. What are the medical requirements?

1:21A valid and current state driver's license is required for training under the Sport Pilot certification rule. You must be following any restriction that your state has placed on your driver's license. If you have previously taken an FAA medical exam and been denied, a driver's license may not be used and after the first successful FAA medical exam.

1:214. Will I need to supply medical records?

1:21No. In fact, our application form very clearly states that you should not supply medical records, only a simple statement from your physician as to the nature of your disability.

1:215. When will I hear if I've been selected?

1:21Able Flight reviews applications on a rolling basis after the application deadline for full flight training scholarships, and throughout the year for other scholarship types. You will be notified via email that we have received your application and if everything is in order, your application will receive an initial review, and then you'll be contacted if you are selected for an interview. Those not initially selected for an interview will be notified and may be asked if they'd like to have their application reconsidered again in the next round of reviews. After interviews, a scholarship review committee will consider the finalists' applications and make awards as appropriate. Scholarship awards are announced in January of each year.

1:53GROUND REFERENCE MANEUVERS

1:53This section introduces ground reference maneuvers, essential for new pilots to understand wind effects on flight and develop skills to correct for drift while maintaining control and situational awareness.

1:53Understanding Wind Effects:

1:531. An airplane movement is affected by the air mass in which it flies.

1:53a. Even if the nose is pointed straight, wind can cause drift.

1:53b. Airplane always drifts with the wind (downwind).

1:532. Corrections for wind influence:

1:53a. Use a crab angle by pointing the nose into the wind.

1:53b. The crab angle varies based on wind speed and angle.

1:533. Key terms:

1:53a. Ground track: The intended path over the ground (i.e., a road or chart line).

1:53b. Heading: The direction the airplane's nose is pointed.

1:53c. Track: The actual path over the ground.

1:53d. If heading is correct, course and track are identical.

1:53e. Drift: The effect of wind.

1:53f. Essentially, to correct for drift, both its heading and while its turning
