The Deaf Pilots Association welcomes you!

Hearing loss of any degree or even total deafness need not disqualify anyone from earning a pilot's certificate. From the beginning of aviation, deaf and hard of hearing people have flown airplanes solo in the United States, Canada and some other countries, and today some 100 to 120 of them are active pilots and aircraft owners. On this site you can see how they won their wings without having to use the radio, and, if you like, join them in the skies as members of the Deaf Pilots Association.

Learn more about DPA, check out our newsletters, and find out about our fly-ins.

If you have a question about how deaf pilots can learn how to fly, find an answer on our Frequently Asked Questions page.
