I have been reading some of the posts concerning the visual requirements for becoming a proffesional pilot. For all the aspiring pilots with poor vision:
This is what I found at the homepage of the ICAO:
"...ICAO is in the process of reviewing the visual requirements and new regulations are expected to come into force in November 2001. The new requirements have no dioptre limits; instead, visual acuity shall be 6/6 with or without spectacles or contact lenses and an ophthalmic examination shall be normal..."
Isn't the ICAO the chief organization for worldwide aviation? So, if this is what they plan, the national authoroties should follow? Any thoughts?
