Does anyone actually have to hand RAF (and/or FAA & AAC)eye requirements? What are the differences between multi engine and fast jet? Basically any information (numbers preferably) regarding eyesight will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
Densil

The RAF requirements are 20/20 with no correction and no exceptions.

There is no difference between FJ and ME.

As I found because of my leg length, everyone who applies to be a pilot in the RAF goes to initial training with the potential to be streamed as a FJ pilot. If you do not meet this req. then you cannot be a pilot in the RAF.

If the careers offices do their job, you would not even get to Cranwell with less than 20/20 eyesight.
