Flying in the air is an experience in itself, disabled people due their impairment may consider it a far fetched thought, but British Disabled Flying Association (BDFA) has a different opinion all together. They are using a number of adaptations to persuade disabled people that flying is an achievable goal. The BDFA's philosophy is that all disabled people should be able to have experience of flying even if they are not able to qualify as a pilot. They have made various modifications in their aircraft like hand controls are used to replace rudder pedals and, in some cases, toe brakes to make it more friendly, depending o the person's impairment. Mr Bennett vice-chairman has a rare neurological condition called hereditary spastic paraplegia which means he has difficulty using his legs. He says that he learnt to fly two years ago and now makes regular solo trips.

The association successfully trained a blind guy to fly which helped him to experience different sensations of turbulence. In the USA there are more than 80 deaf pilots who are allowed to fly solo in areas where the use of two-way radios is not compulsory.
