Jessica Cox, a woman pilot who has no hand that becomes the prove that everything is possible if you want it
News24xx.com - Jessica Cox is not just any light sport aircraft pilot. Besides a female pilot, Cox was also born incomplete, she was born without right and left hands. When driving a plane, Cox puts his right foot on the steering wheel (yoke) and right foot on the aircraft engine control (throttle).
"I did the same thing as other pilots, but replace the hands with legs. At first I was afraid every time I was on a plane and i didn't think to become a pilot. But in one trip with a small plane changed all my perspective" Cox was quoted as saying by CNN.
Cox said at the time she was a child, when a pilot took her to the aircraft's wheelhouse with dual controls. The pilot removed the steering wheel and placed Cox in the pilot's seat right in front of the aircraft window. The pilot let Cox drive the plane while instructing her to face her fear, and didn’t run or hide.
This experience led Cox to undergo pilot training right after graduating from the University of Arizona in 2005. As expected, it was not easy to get a flight education without having hands. Cox also has to find an aircraft model that suits her physical abilities.
"The instructors and contributors helped me a lot while I was educated. During my training through trial and error, I found a way out of various problems. There were lots of questions, doubts, and attention from others due to my condition" Cox said.
With the limitations that she has, Cox was desperate to achieve her dream. At that time, Cox installed an aircraft model that matched its capabilities as a computer background image. This turned out to be able to motivate Cox to get a certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration in 2008 for Ercoupe type aircraft.
