Er....no.

Just read an article about a blinc guy in england who's going to fly
around in a modified warrior. Apparently the system uses audio to
translate what the instruments show.

Good thing he has a safetypilot however, since he can't see traffic for
example. Maybe it's the wave of the future, soon you won't need eyesight
to get a PPL.


So what's your problem?


Actually I think it's interesting, I know there's also sharp-shooting
competitions for blind people where an audio tone is used to aim. I
think the tone gets stronger and changes pitch the closer you get to the
target.

You could probably do the same in a plane for traffic avoidance, have
some sort of audio warning system tcas variant. The final flare and
touchdown would be tricky to get done properly using audio though,
without some special equipment at the airport as well. Still, it's
pretty cool what he's doing.

My problem? Well, let's see... I'd like to start with, if I may, the
state of public health care. In 1992 a....... blah blah blah. Which
brings me to the situation in iraq. If there's ever to be a democratic
way of life then there should be clear to all that blah bleh blahblah.....
