Concidering an ATPL career: please advise!
Good day!
I am 26 and have been envolved with commercial aviation since 20 but only in the office side of the job. I am concidering a career change and would like to train to become an airline pilot.
I am in good health, but I have a rather poor eyesight: -4.75 and -4.5
I heard that nowadays they allow people to fly with corrective lenses/glasses even if your sight is not 100%. But I'd like to know from experienced pilots here if there is a limit to how bad your eyesight can be? Or do they now accept as long as you have 100% sight in corrective lenses? I wear soft contact lenses for over 8 years now.
I need to know this before I go for official med exam. Any advise?
Thank You.
