Colour blindness
I am to put it bluntly.......Gutted !!!
Having assumed that because I am colourblind (red/green deficient)
I would never meet the criteria to become a commercial pilot !!!
I failed the Ishihara plate test and this test is the only one I knew of and therefore forgot about the prospect of becoming a pilot.
I am 25 now and think about the career I can't do every day. It disheartens me.
However, I have recently found out that there is a Lantern test available and a lot of people who fail the Ishihara test pass this one, therefore gaining an unrestricted class 1 medical certificate.
If I knew about this test 10 years ago, I could have followed my dream perhaps but I now feel its too late !!!
Should I go for the Lantern test and see what happens? Is it much easier to pass this one?
Any advice is welcome
