Eye site requirements, has anyone else had hitches getting a medical due to this?
I have an astigmatism, my left eye equals the class 2 med requirements my right eyes is outside them. I wear glasses and contacts(not usually at the same time) with them I have great vision and I can read the bottom line on the opticians chart with both eyes. However my correction for astigmatism is where I fail.
I don't really understand these rules as I can't figure out what difference it makes whether my lense is a 3.00 correction or a 69875429378.89 correction, it is still in my eye and I have 20/20 vision with it.
bloody twice.
So anyway, I spoke to CAA eyesite guy who was very helpful but promised me there is a slim to none chance of getting a class 1 medical, I can get a class 2 medical but it will have a restriction on it, as far as I can gather I won't actually go solo, I will have a safety pilot with me.
I'd just like to say at this point its put a real downer on things and i'm pretty pi**ed off.

And on a final note I paid for a title last night from PPRUNE and i havent got it yet, how long is it normally to sort this out?
