Hello Bealzebub,
The fact is that nobody can accept irrelevant medical tests.
And current JAA colour visions tests are irrelevant and so, unfair.
It is not me who say that but :
- the Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal 20 years ago when Arthur Pape brought the case to justice:

- Andrew W. Siu and Maurice K. Yap in their study published 4 years ago :

I'm CVD, and I'm ready to accept that I could not safely handle airline pilote tasks but not with current tests. I flew several times in commercial aircraft cockpit and never saw which task I would be unable to perform. Before 2001, CVD people was not able to fly in France even in daylight conditions under private pilote licence. A lot of cvd private pilotes now fly without any problem.
I'm ready to pass any test in real flight conditions, but nobody allow it to me.
We just quickly need relevant color vision tests.
