OASC- Eye sight question
Guys,
Some advice please - if you can. My son has just gone through selection and passed app tests/interview etc for pilot, but has been failed on being 'borderline' short sighted. He was told that he doesn't need glasses but has not met the req standard for pilot - but is OK for Nav (WSO). They have offered him direct entry post his A levels.
Q. Can he get an independent test done and will it carry any weight with them?
Q. One for the medics out there maybe - Can he do anything, exercise wise, to improve his short-sightedness?
Any, useful, advice gratefully received. And yes, I've accepted that he wants to join the 2 winged master race!!
