JAA Class 1 Limits
Does anyone actually know the logic behind the JAA's limit on degree of astigmatism of +/- 2 dioptres? It seems totally arbitrary to me and as I am only just outside this limit (-2.25 dioptres) and this is ruining my dream of flying in the UK. My corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (how well I can see) is well within limits and in the USA I would have no problem getting a Class A. So why do the JAA have this limit and is there ANY chance of it changing in the near future? Any comments would be greatfully received.
