Was reading the CAA Medical Committee news today and came across this from the November meeting:
A proposal to relax the private pilot colour vision standard, based on a different pass/criteria on the Nagel anomaloscope (a German colour vision test) was rejected. This decision was reached on the basis that colour vision standards are currently under international review and that it would not improve harmonisation across JAA member states.
I was quite surprised to see it as it means that at least some people are thinking about relaxing standards even if it wasn't accepted, which is a steep in the right direction I guess.
I am slightly concerned about what the international review of colourvision is, as far as I am aware it is to make sure that the testing for colourvision is standardised across the JAA. Does anyone know if this will affect those of us with a Class 1/2 having passed a lantern test?
