It seems that there is a few mis-understandings in the CAA and AME's
I know that I have a colour deficiency after failing the lantern tests at Gatwick few years back but told I could still get a class 2 only flying during day & in VFR in VMC. So I start training for my PPL and get to the stage of obtaining my initial medical. I told the AME that i had the lantern tests done to make him aware of the facts. He said that he needed to talk to the CAA regarding what he had to write on the forms and he would post it to me. So about a month after my inital exam I get a letter from the AME saying that he had been in contact with the CAA and it told me that i could not obtain ANY JAA medical certificate!!
So i got in contact with the CAA making them aware of the situation. A week later i got a phonecall from the CAA telling me that i could indeed get a class 2 with the VFR/VMC restrictions. They said they would get a new form from the AME to be posted to the CAA then sent to me! over 2 months after the initial exam i am STILL waiting for the certificate!!
Jus wondered if this had happened to anyone else and has not challenged it?
