Thanks guys for your replies.

Well, the problem is that CAA told me that I am colourblind (which is not true in my opinon) because i've failed the Ishihara test (4 mistakes/misreadings) and the lanterns (again 4 mistakes)

This means that I have a restricted class one medical... unluckily, also the class two has the same requirements about colourvison...

but this is not a problem for me. I could become flight instuctor (CAA has told me this) but the problem is how:

_ I need to get the Flight Instructor Certificate -> which requires the CPL -> but CPL requires 5 hours at night (or night rating).

the problem is: how can i get those hours? OK, i can't fly solo at night; but can i fly with an instructor? (if yes, this would be the solution of my problem... but i need to contact and make sure that is possible... unless the CAA gives me a special permission... or something similar... i dont'know)

thanks,
wf
