Yes Bman, that is true.. Sorry if that came off as a personal attack.. I meant no disrespect whatsoever.. I just get heated about this topic since it directly affected the course of my life over the past 7 years. The FAA is actually one of the more fair authorities when it comes to color vision testing.. They allow several different tests and even the practical real world test if you can't pass any of the many office based tests.. It is also worth noting that there are currently thousands if not tens of thousands of pilots flying around today with a known color vision deficiency.. But anyway to keep it short, check out A 'Testing' Challenge : Colour Vision Defective Pilots Association (CVDPA) and the rest of the site.. It's interesting how different countries have way different color vision standards.. some lenient, some more strict than required for a job as an interior designer. A pilot from Australia can fly an Australian registered jumbo jet into the UK legally, yet wouldn't be allowed to rent a 172 and fly it at night.
