Steve:
No, that's still not it. Compatiblism is not the position that free
will begins where determinism ends. That is just the incompatiblist
free will side of the free will/determinism debate. No one who
believes in free will means that they could choose to fly if they
wanted to as a matter of free will. Such constraints are taken for
granted among all incompatiblist free will defenders. Compatiblism is
to say that the two ideas that you think are mutually exclusive (free
will and determinism) are not in fact mutually exclusive.

Please read the SEP article to understand this point.

Best,
Steve
