Hi unfazed..
You mean that you are colour vision defficient also?
You have an FAA 1st class and a UK CPL?
I believe the case that johe2 wrote here is true and my case is not one to believe that, (check my first post in july 1st in this same page) but I know that european aviation authorities sometimes do whatever they want in very specific cases and you can find luckiness by reaching at the right moment with the right person, obviously if you are monochromat, they will laugh at any request for flying a glass cockpit for example.
Right now I am fighting back for 3rd time for my JAR 1st class med in order to convert my FAA CPL/IR licence, with a mild colour vision problem. I am doing all the tests available (I passed the FAA´s Farnsworth in the beginning of my carrier and who knows, might be able to pass any of the JAA´s not tried yet) and coloured lenses it is an option.. even though they are not allowed..
This is what I call B!%%$h#T.. I´ve got it from the FAA but not from the JAA!!??
P.D Sorry for my english..
