Yet another story to add to the archive.
Similar story ,found out young and dicked around trying to make a decision as to what to do after school.Finally in mid 20s thought I'd do something about it.I could see airport lights with no worries at night.
Challenged our Aviation Authority as to why I was limited to MTOW A/C of 5700kgs.
I would be able to fly a Metro II(under
5700kgs).
I wouldnt be able to fly a MetroIII(over 5700kgs).
How then did this prove to be an effective way to govern the requirements.!!!!!
Anyhow my answer was that my A/C MTOW now is 20,000kgs..
Seems like its an antiquated law all over the world.
With more of this cases being "pushed" hopefully it will draw some reward to all of us .
Good luck to all of you out there in the "colour challanged world".
P.S the number of people who think "colour Blindness" is the same as "colour deficient"
Ignorance can be a pain in the asss
