I'm certainly trying to get as many people as I can to send an email to the NZ CAA agreeing that this is a good decision! The sooner they implement the changes, the sooner it'll hopefully spread!
The full GD is available via the below link:
IMAPAIRED COLOUR VISION GENERAL DIRECTION (GD/VIS/01/2017.1)
Also from the CVDPA update:
What happens next? Your help is needed!
This proposed GD is open for a period of public consultation for just over 5 weeks.
Provided there are no major obstacles or issues arising as a result of this process, the GD will then be implemented into policy. This will in turn make New Zealand the new world leader in certifying CVD pilots to fly and will arguably lead to flow on influences around the world.
It is vital that all CVD pilots and anyone else with an interest in this topic have their say as part of the CAA's consultation process so that we are not outnumbered by any opposing responses. It has been confirmed that all interested parties can be part of this process, whether residing in New Zealand, Australia or any other country internationally.
The final page of the GD contains a response sheet which can be used as a template for submitting feedback. For your assistance, a pre-populated response sheet is also provided via the link below (you only need to add your name, address, phone number, email and if applicable, CAA client number):
RESPONSE SHEET - CVD GD
Please take 5 minutes to show your support and acceptance of this GD without change.
Responses must be emailed to [email protected] and are due by 26 October 2017.
Your assistance in participating in this consultation process is appreciated and will help to ensure that the many years of hard work to get to this point do not go to waste. Feel free to pass this response sheet onto others who may not have received this email.
Let’s get as many submissions in as possible
