I have a Cherokee 180 and my brother who is a triple amputee has recently showed interest in flying with me. He is BK, AK, AE...basically means he has his left knee but no left arm and right leg is missing above the knee.
He has leg prosthetics and full right arm.

Question
What is the best way to get him in the plane? I was thinking I could lower the flaps, have site on the walk and remove his legs. From there, he could use his fully functioning right arm to shimmy himself up the walk and then in.
Any possibly of hurting the plane doing this?

Thanks
