Where and when did you take the FAA and JAA tests?

FAA tests were taken in Glasgow by a qualified AME less than a week ago. For the colour vision he opened the book and went through the first few plates then a couple of random ones. He didn't mention failing any and just sayed "you passed, no problems".

I sat the JAA (CAA) exam at Gatwick in june. They put me through the plates where I failed 7. They then put me through the signal tests. (In light and dark). I failed but they would not say how badly. They will not send the results out to me... I wanted to try my local optician to see how the results compared but they won't test me without knowing the CAA requirements...

Hope that helps you out... Just post back if you want more info.

Is there any way getting gatwick to accept the FAA results or even allow a retest based on it?
