inverted spin;

i am well aware of the limitations of vision weaknesses. that is the reason i have been blocked out of the majors in the USA. mine is very poor uncorrected but with contacts correct to better than 20/20.

with contacts, i have a spare set of glasses in cockpit with me.

i have never had a rapid D, or a bird come in through the window, but it may happen yet. only then would i think that contacts might be added to the long list of sudden difficulties.

this is another reason it would be next to impossible for me to get a UK license, however that word is spelled in different countries.

even now applying for contracts with Asian airlines, they send minimum vision requirements that are hard to decipher.

oh well, i can always go back to alaska and fly the little birds.
