Can anyone tell me if the JAR Class 1 medical varies from authority to authority. I`m currently in Norway and wanting to take a medical here, but i`ve been told on the grapevine that the vision range is 3.0 diopters, whereas i`ve read it`s 5.00 diopters on the UK class 1.
I have tried in vain to search the Internet and contact the Norwegian CAA, but to no avail.

Hello !
JAR standards are clear !! For myopia, the limit is - 5.00 diopters at admission. For renewal it becomes -8.00.
But interesting info, CAA can deliver a Class 1 ( with a little trick on the regulation) for people over -5.00 with a deviation with restriction to airplanes registered in UK only, at your first renewal the limit becomes - 8.00 and then your deviation is removed and with no restriction enabling you flying all european airplanes.
