guys y are u making a big deal out of it?
You passed the lantern test. Congratulations. The reason this thread exists is that most of us didn't. Does this mean we are unsafe to fly? No. Does this in fact mean anything? Yes - It means we failed a farcical, utterly irrelevant test bearing absolutely no reflection to the real life requirements of a pilot in terms of colour vision. It is farcical to the extent that it is failed by substantial numbers of people with perfect colour vision.
So if you want to know why we're making such a big deal out of it, spend a couple of days reading this thread (and its original).
