Hi,
I'd like to share my story with you and also need some advice.
I started flying in UK in 1997.I had color vision problem in my initial medical.Did the lantern in Gatwick and passed.Since then I am flying(in Eastern Europe).in my country you are requried to take an isihara test every renewal but it doesnt matter if you pass or fail because theres nothing called lantern here.(they show you only 2- 4 plates)
Now I am offered a dream job in Dubai.I had the same problem during pre-employment medical.I sent them my lantern result in Gatwick but they didnt accept.So I did another one in Amsterdam and passed.(But this one was much harder.What I think is the lights were reflected from a mirror in Amsterdam.So theres a reflection.And I am not sure if mirrors can reflect colors 100%.What I think is there should be a loss in reflection like in everything manmade.Anyway the guys in AMS were very helpful)
Now what I am worried is if they will require me to take a Lantern every renewal in Dubai.Because by means of color vision I am very relaxed in my current job.And I dont want to have problems in Dubai after flying 1 year happily and end jobless.
At the end of the day your medical depends on a Lantern test.There are a lot of people that passed a lantern and failed another lantern somewhereelse.
Another thing is about anomaloscopy.is there anybody passed the lantern and failed anomaloscopy or vice versa?
is it harder or easier to pass anomaloscopy?
Because I just want to take an anomaloscopy to secure myself before resigning from my current job.
Any ideas about the renewal regulations in Dubai?
Thanks
