Hi

I have been wondering for a long while (ever since I found I was mildly colourblind) whether or not I can still become a pilot. I am 18 at the moment, I start my physics masters degree this year. I have got good school results, and I am fit/healthy, etc... but a couple of years ago I found I was mildly colourblind (I failed some of the ishihara plates) but it is pretty mild. There is probably a lot of this about (my brother has it too), but I wonder - is it worth trying the lantern test or should I just forget it? Is there anything online that can assess my colour vision better than the crude knowledge I have now? I recently took this test: color blind test ( free and complete ) by jean jouannic optician and got 29/32, if that means anything.

You probably get this a lot, but it's a big decision for me!

Thanks!
