restricted pilot

[moz1eye]

had my medical and was told i will be classed as a 1 eye pilot can anyone explain what this means as i would like to fly in australia some day and not just in the uk :confused:

You'll have to contact CASA for their final word but you'll find them a lot more relaxed about eye standards than JAR land.

Eg, you can be colour blind and hold a Class 1 medical.

Silly question but I would appreciate it if you could tell me what JAR and JAA are? I kind of gatherd you receive one or the other but which countries give what and what are the advantages/disadvantages?

Thanks in advance. :confused:

JAA = Joint Aviation Authorities (http://www.jaa.nl/)
UK is one of them.

JAR = is Joint Aviation Regulations. The rules that the JAA make.
