Hi 150Driver!

I'm sorry for that late reply.
The reason why I first went to CAA was that I
didn't know the Dutch having the new JAR-FCL 3.

In Gatwick the lanternbox was about 7 (or more?)
meters away and I had to (!) lean back on the chair.
He didn't accept any corrections. When I said:
"It's white - no, it's green" he wrote down that I said
white!
I had about 4 errors and I was assessed as unfit after 30 minutes.

In Soesterberg it was quite easier. The ophtalmologist
there was really friendly. The box was right to me and
and I looked into a mirror in which I saw the box.
The box was about 2 meters away from the mirror (this means
totally 4 meters). And after all I had 0 errors.

The Germans still have their old requirements. You have
to set the anomaloscopy to the value of 1,3.
I had the value of 3,0. This means a deuteranomaly (green area).
The Krauts will adapt to the knew regulation this year.
And then it will be possible to start my ATPL-Training
here. But not, if I have to do the ****ing lanterntest
again.

CU,

- Denis
