Amblyopia and restricted class 1 medical
Hi peoples,
I have been training for a CPL in Australia and on my initial medical class 1 and 2 I was granted a conditional class 1 and 2 with restrictions due to inferior eyesight in my left eye due to amblyopia.
I passed vision in both eyes, and in my left eye, however i only managed 6/12 instead of 6/9 in my right eye.
The restrictions are:
Valid for Australian airspace only
No rotary wing flying
No mustering or low level agricultural flying.
I am most concerned of course about the first restriction as this pretty much sounds like it blows away any chance of flying for an airline internationally.
I believe that these restrictions are placed because I pass the medical requirements for Australian airspace, but ICAO's vision standards are higher therefore the medical is not valid outside of australia.
Is this the case for me or is it still possible to fly internationally?
Are there any ways around this?
