DFC - at the end of the day, if I won't be allowed to take the JAA IR as it stands; I'll accept it far more readily armed with logic and reason as to why it's not possible. It's good of you to chip in with what appears to me as dispassionate, and frankly un-opinated reason.
As shunter says, in reality the whole colour vision thing is bulls*t; but that is another argument for another day. For now, I just wondered whther I could get around the existing rules.
Bose, I took the liberty of having a look through your previous posts. You're not a veteran at all are you, having had your IR for what, a year? Where do you get off on dispensing advice and narrow, parochial proclamations on a bulletin board?
The guy who did your IR is a good mate of mine. Just because you've piqued my interest, I'll ask him if he remembers you; and whether you're as much of a bellend as you appear to be.
