Eyesight
Hi JTJ,
I dont think any crew would give you the handbook, thats a breach of privacy and its a controlled document.
On the Eyesight requirements, glasses are not encouraged, and you need a letter from the clinic if you need to wear them on board. you need to have a corrected vision of 6/9 i think.
Coloured lens are not permitted. If you are comfortable wearing lens in a dry environment, you should be fine.
