To Palgia,
Very interesting stuff you have written there, as has Inverted Flatspin.
May I ask how come you know so much about this? I am currently waiting to hear from the CAA as to when I can try the Beyne Lantern. I have also spoke to Mr Chorley who told me the same thing, "it's currently under tests".
I think I am correct in saying that the French use the Beyne Lantern and have done for a long while now.
Why are the CAA not adopting the same test standards as the French? JAA harmonisation and all that.
Changes to the criteria on the Ishihara plates won't really help many more people realise their dreams of becoming a pilot. (You now can pass if you recognise the first 15 plates out of 24.). .As inverted Flatspin correctly stated, most colour deficient people have a problem with the colour green. The first 15 plates of the Ishihara test will weed these people out anyway - so where's the progress?
Yet again it may be a case of turning to the USA to realise our own 'American Dream'.
We wait with bated breath Mr Chorley.
Regards
Ice.
