Hi all, im writing this message to get confirmed some of the information confirmed in this topic!!! Like many i have failed the plates but thankfully passed the lantern!!!
What im wanting confimed is that you do not have to have your colour vision checked every 5 years???? I phoned the Caa and they said that the 5 yearly extended eye checks have been done away with, is this correct????? At your yearly renewal does your colour vision get checked?????
on the topic of airlines, the caa doctor told me that most airlines are only interested in you having a classone medical!!!?? I think only Ba has a medical department anyway which does general check ups on their pilots???!!!
Cheers
