I believe that the JAA states and the FAA are now entering into discussions to reach a common standard across all authorities.
I also believe that London City University is conducting tests into a new computer based process for identifying CVD pilots and that they may also be involved in the dicussions.
If they do reach a common standard, where this will lead is anyone's guess at the moment. How it will affect those who have previously passed FAA but failed JAA (or vice versa) and whether grandfather rights would be applicable or whether CVD pilots would need to retake any new standard test is also a question that needs to be raised.
I would have thought that it has to be put forward for consultation prior to implementation so it may be worth keeping an eye on the CAA web-site.
