Hello everyone, I have just been called to do a medical test prior my first interview in Hong Kong ( I have applied SQ Cadet Pilot Programme (Hong Kong) ) . Unfortunately, I am born to be colour-deficient and I have failed the Ishihara test for my Class 2 Medical in Australia. I would like to know whether Singapore Airlines cockpit crew medical (or CAAS class 1 medical) would accept any alternative methods for testing colour vision? say farnsworth lantern test or light gun test. My interview is scheduled on the next Friday. Now I am thinking of going to make an appointment to do a lantern test or something, and send them the results as well and see how it goes.
Hey bro, just do what you can to convince SIA. Nothing to lose.

However, I doubt you can skip the Ishihara test though. It's standard testing and i don't think they'll make exceptions. However, the cards used by the docters here may be different from the ones in Australia. I mean it's the same stack, but just different cards from the same stack. Anyway, good luck.
