Personally I think that the JAA comitee has done a good job towards liberalizing the medical requirements.
For all the young wannabe pilots out there I think that in about 5 years the medical requirements are going to be even less stringent.
Hi Jimmy, where did you read the preop requirements have been raised to -8 diopters?
I read the NPA 28, but I found that the max preop requirements for a first medical class is +5 -6, not -8. Please, tell me I am wrong!
