Welcome to “The Pilot Lawyer,” hosted by the Ison Brothers at Ison Law Firm. In today's episode, we are joined by Jessica Cox, the first armless pilot in aviation history. Jessica, who flies using her feet, talks about her unique flying experiences and her role as a motivational speaker.

We'll discuss her journey, the challenges she's faced with the FAA, and how she's managed to overcome her fear of flying. Jessica is also preparing for a medical flight test and working on a special airplane project, designed for foot control.

We will explore topics ranging from Jessica's adaptive training techniques to the specific regulations impacting pilots with medical conditions, such as 14 CFR 61.53. Additionally, Jessica will share her advocacy for disability rights through her global flying initiatives.
