The vision has nothing to do with safety as long as it is corrected!
Kengineer-130: I have for many years said that JAR is discriminating people with having a vision limit! First it was +/- 3, then +/- 5 now +/- 6 and no renewal limit... what makes +/-6 better now than five years ago!? Discrimination I say!
With the removal of the renewal limit I guess the initial limit is also on its way out... so what is taking them so long? Maybe they should start focusing on other areas, as peoples health, as a poor health increases the effect of fatigue. Much worse than -8 on both eyes.
For once the Americans are right and allowing people to fly as long as the vision is corrected.
Just so people can understand my frustation, I have been fighting to become a pilot for about 10 years and I am not quitting this close to my goal!
