USAF Depth Preception Problem
I got accepted for a pilot slot in OTS for the USAF and I am in the process of getting my flight medical. I found out I have no depth perception and it is disqualifying for any pilot position in the USAF. I am seeing a specialist who believes she can help me improve my depth perception, but she does not know by how much.
I am a CFI with 400 hours and I have never had any problem controlling aircraft or judging distance. When I park aircraft, I have no problem judging wing tip separation. I also play sports that require hand eye coordination and I have only become aware of my lack of depth perception as a result of the Air Force physical.
My question is this, is there a way I can get around my failed depth perception tests with some sort of practical test or waiver? Currently, my eye tests are being reviewed for a wavier, but I do not feel I had a chance to state my case. The doctors keep telling me it is impossible to land a plane without depth perception despite the fact that I have been doing so for years without any problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
