May I ask whether you were sent down the substandard vision route by way of reduced acuity or affected binocular vision? I have had two class 2s now both without any issue so hoping I may be in a position to scrape through if I just about meet the requirements!
Best of luck to you too - please let me know how you get on
No probs, it’s nice to read I’m not alone!! 😊
Right eye VA is outside of class 1 (and class 2) limits thanks to childhood amblyopia and lazy eye. Left eye is spot on and better than 6/6!
Frustratingly, from what I can see the standards for the substandard vision in one eye, are identical to that of class 1 reduced vision or monocular at revalidation or renewal.
I guess, to answer your question both binocular and right eye VA.
I have done a flight medical test and had an ophthalmologist review too.
I went straight in for class 1, on the basis “you never know”. And for the opportunity to discuss with the CAA. My ultimate goal is to fly commercially. Was pleased to get a c2 as that demonstrates a level of fitness though.
Presume you have a few hours under your belt ?
