Thobson,
Are you sure you'd fail the FAA class 1 medical?
The sight in my left, amblyopic eye is worse than 6/9 yet I passed the FAA class 1 without a problem. I do have the FAA issued Statement Of Demonstrated Ability (SODA) that declare, quite alarmingly, "No Useful Vision".
I now have an FAA CPL/IR for single and multi-engine aircraft, with 530 hours total time, 24 hours multi and about 108 instrument. I also have a CASA (Australian) class 1 medical.
The CAA will not issue me with a class 1, stating I do not have stereoscopic vision so therefore cannot see in 3D.... I wonder how I ever made it down a flight of stairs alive. I must have amassed at least 1000 landings so far and I don't recall ever missing the runway.
Either myself or my legal representatives will be contacting the CAA shortly.
Best of luck to everyone
