JAA rules are stupid,
My problem is colour vision. I have failed all the CAA tests and have a choice of a couple of other JAA tests which I will have to go abroad for. However I have passed the FAA Tower Signal Test which is good for a class 1 FAA medical.
This leaves my in the UK to be restricted to no night flight and commercially no public transport - not even freight! However I could fly an N reg 747 around the UK and EU all day and night (no not 24 hour rosters
) and the CAA would be very happy, but put a G on the tail and I'm immediatley unsafe.
Now I will leave you to make up your own minds on this as either the CAA are neglegent in their responsibilities of letting "unsafe" FAA licenced air crew into our skies or they are discrimination against us CVD.
