RPPT, I have already passed the aptitude tests (about seven months ago now), but it was my eyesight that let me down at the medical. Ofcourse, my corrected vision is perfect '20/20'.
My uncorrected vision is -2.75 (0.00 being what most of you aircrew boys would have), and the RAAF's limit for applicants is -1.00 (found that out from CB Towers about 3 months ago, before recruiting did!).
I do realise that eyesight below this standard is permitted once an applicant has already been accepted, even pre BFTS. But what I would be very interested to know is if the RAAF has a limit for current pilots, which if exceeded, would render them grounded...
CB Towers, any chance that you could pull some strings and find that out?
