I have had and failed every 'aviation colour test' ever invented and I left the UK 15 years ago after being denied a class 1.

I currently have an Australian class 1 medical restricted to Australian airspace only (and CPL only not ATPL) and have CPL(A) and CPL(H). Thanks go to Dr Pape when he took the aviation authority to court. I have been flying 24 years and never had a problem with colours except in the 'tests'.

The 'tests' use colours that are within those wavelengths that confuse us colour cripples. They are designed to fail us - dont waste to much time hoping to pass them. Ofcourse in real life these colours are not used in real lights otherwise we would have all suffered nasty driving collisions at traffic lights wouldnt we.

Now like the original criminal exports from the UK I am condemned to Australia
