Pilot Jessica Cox on Inside Edition

[@elanianiyvwia8687]

Wonderful inspiration!!!!! Proof that the only thing that holds us back is ourselves!!!! ✊🏽

[@jimbopaw]

Well I don't know - if she wants to be a commercial pilot (fly jet airliners), she probably will be refused, as well as anyone who has vision deficiency etc. So in this case I would wonder whether it's ourselves or someone/something else that is holding us back.

[@musoseven8218]

Elani Aniyvwia By and large I agree and remember that tptb often like it that way, saves them a job!

[@ahz6907]

Its all in the mind

[@elanianiyvwia8687]

Ro lf vision would be more important to flying than limb ability. If you could manipulate the controls there is no reason she couldn’t be a commercial pilot

[@pughazendiyoutubechannel8841]

[@znuto]

The little plane she flys is an Ercoupe, built in the 40s to have coordinated flight controls so there are no pedals down on the floor. Its perfect for her, a very safe airplane. She is very determined, and very blessed.

[@miriambenjamin1633]

I read about Jessica Cox in my devotional, had to watch this with my kids to draw some inspiration. You are simply amazing!!! Love you Jessica

[@eagleswingsnazarenefellows6519]

Such a beautiful young lady, inside and out, with such a courageous testimony!! God bless you, Jessica!!

[@punishr36]

@HDaviator There is logic to the concern. I have flown many types of commercial aircraft as well as Design/Develop/service. Under normal conditions I would not hesitate to fly with her. Under extreme weather conditions with turbulence I have no reservations that she would have extreme difficulty controlling her physical position in the aircraft resulting in the control of the aircraft being compromised. Outside of that, she is one very special and extremely talented human being. Very impressive.

[@Jbmc65]

Wow, Jessica you are amazing. I am 57 and just starting my PPL. You make it look so easy, and beautiful plane you have there.

[@gheniferelaiza3260]

You are inspiration to me who have foot drop who dream to be a pilot. I’m too afraid that I can’t but seeing you now. I feel more determine

[@jonathanmelnick3986]

What an inspiration! So much respect, I hope she continues to succeed wherever she goes!

[@steveb8029]

Probably early 1980’s there was a young woman with no arms working at the Federeal Job Information Center in Indianapolis, IN. Did everything with her feet/toes. What an inspiration. I’m 70 and I’ve never forgotten her (drive, spirit and determination)! Who knows who and how many people you will inspire!

[@caricorbet-owen1888]

Jessica you are an inspiration and a walking example for all of us that are full of excuses. You go girl!!!! You rock! And I simply LOVED your book: "Disarm your Limits" is a page-turner and incredibly motivational. You take the word 'Impossible' and turn it into 'I'm possible" and prove that there really is no such work at impossible.

[@aerocap]

Cari I like what you write

[@eagleswingsnazarenefellows6519]

A beautiful young lady with such a powerful testimony!!!

[@talals7029]

How did you get the FAA Medical Certificate ? What about the rudder pedal? If it is connected to the yoke, it would be difficult- if not impossible - to take off or land in crosswind and to recover from spin !

[@Puffmac1]

The important bit they left out was that it's an ERCO Ercoupe which has no rudder pedals. The yoke is linked to the rudder and ailerons allowing coordinated flight with just the yoke.

[@Rossco84]

Puffmac1 what about when you need to fly uncoordinated? Such as in a crosswind landing? Truly inspirational but wouldn’t be safe in a crosswind.

[@theniraudayakumar1055]

As a motivational speaker, I always used to give example of Jessica cox. Highly inspirational.

@FTStratLP The Ercoupe has interconnected roll and yaw controls. Voilà!

[@MotmedGaming]

is the rudder connected to the ailerons in this plane? Very inspiring by the way :D

[@jessicacox]

Yes! The Ercoupe was designed to connect them in order to make it easier and safer to fly.

[@MotmedGaming]

Who's operating the Rudder pedals? Amazing work regardless, but just wondering how she does it

[@JonathanCastillo-wg7yk]

***** Awesome! Thanks for the reply!

[@satishgautam9747]

+Jessica Cox we are proud of you I r just amazing

[@MothaLuva]

Jonathan Castillo The Ercoupe has no rudder pedals. The aileron and rudder are operated simultaneously with the yoke.

[@jimydoolittle3129]

God bless you Yessica 🙏🏻✈️😜 very inspiring , you’re awesome

[@shakenama]

I had to look up the plane which she was flying as I couldn't believe it either. She flys an ERCO Ercoupe which uses a a two-control system linked the rudder and aileron systems. This type of plane does NOT have rudder peddles (first that I heard for me!) and is considered a beginners plane that has automatic yaw correction. Jessica is one amazing girl

[@mitgolden76]

like ssssaaafff said, the ercoupe 415 has no rudder pedals. To add to that, her sport pilot certificate does limit her to fly this make and model only.

[@Bughotwheels]

Awesome Meeting you at Pearson yesterday!

[@FTStratLP]

This is unbelievable! Jessica you have ll my respect!! I have 2 questions though - how do you steer the plane on the ground - and how so you operate the rudder?

[@05-4-k6c]

No rudder

[@jeremylakenes6859]

Is there a modification to the rudder? Typically you taxi with your feet....on the rudder pedals. And the yolk for the wings. Any ideas?

[@omegacage]

The Ercoupe is the only plane built without rudder pedals. The rudder is thus interconnected with the ailerons through the yoke. Once on the ground, it drives like a car.

[@jeremylakenes6859]

Patrick Chamberlain Interesting. I think I heard of it before long ago. I imagine it’s a bit older model? How about braking?

[@omegacage]

Definitely vintage, it was built in the 40s. There's one pedal on the floor for braking.

[@marcusbondi]

How can you NOT love her?!?!? She is awesome!

[@romarioosborne589]

WOW! You must of push through so much bullshit to become so relentless. This is amazing and inspiring.

[@emmaherrington5193]

Finally a perfect application for the Ercoupe!

[@larryhall7998]

There was the women in the 1950th flew the Ercoupe who had no legs! Also many people flew this Rudderless wonder who were parallelized from the waste down!

[@angioplaster3]

Jessica, I had a fear of flying and overcame that by learning to fly and obtaining my private pilots liscence a couple of years ago. You are so awesome! Do you own the Eurcope(sp) in the video?

[@ilarikousa1500]

Jessica, how are the crosswind characteristics on the Ercoupe, seeing as it doesn't allow for uncoordinated flight?

[@sonicvalley]

Wow, nice flying Jessica. Congrats!

[@jimbopaw]

That's great - I'm happy to see this and wish her the best. I was curious how she operated the rudder pedals - I read the comments and found out that she flies an airplane that has the rudder pedals linked to the ailerons. So now I wonder how the lack of direct rudder control would affect cross-wind landings, but apparently people are flying it in cross-wind without too much trouble.

[@Mike-01234]

The Ercoupe is an amazing aircraft it's the first production airplane to have Tricycle gear. I believe the Ercoupe can land in higher cross winds then a piper, or Cessna not sure if that is really true.

[@FlyingJournalism]
