Airport Lights Test
Hi All,
Can I thank you all for your interesting and informative discussion on this matter? You helped me get up the courage to go for my first class 2 medical - I was terrified that I would fail it completely as I knew that I was somewhat colour deficient - thankfully I passed, but I'm limited to VFR within the state.
Interestingly, while I failed the Ishihara miserably (only got 3 out of 24), I passed two other tests which the AME did on me - a "Chords" test, where you are shown coloured chords, and another test in which you look into a "box" through lenses and see plates similar to Ishihara - I could see all of these.
Consequently, the AME advises me to go to the AMS/AMC? to see if I can have the limitation lifted. Here is my real question - Finally!!!
In my jurisdiction, the alternative test is an "Airport Lights Test". Does anyone know what this entails? Will the only lights that I am shown be red and green or will there also be other colours or a white light? If I fail it once, is that it, can I not ever try again?
I know that the best would be to get straight onto the AMC, but I would like to have some idea what to expect first.
Thanks all in advance for your help.
