Hi Capn Bug Smasher,

Thank you for the reply, that’s what most pilots suggest me to do. I’m already in the middle of applying for a class one to find out if I can be a pilot or not.

Unfortunately, failing those colour vision tests means that maybe only bearbear8888 or other colour deficient pilots know what else I can do to confirm my eligibility.

Also, as I’m not a cadet of cathay yet, I have no way of getting in touch with their in-house aeromedical staff.

are you a pilot with colour deficiency? Do you know of anyone who might be able to help?

Thank you very much.

best regards,
Gf0rce
