Diagnosed Moderate protomenous
FAA CLass 1 with SODA unrestricted
JAR Class 1 restricted to daytime only no public Transport
I gained CAA night rating based on US medical so met JAR CPL/IR requirements (must have night rating) but although they issued me a night rating and charged me for it (after training with JAR instructor at night and proving safe and competent) - they then restricted my license to daytime only !
I have gained night experience and if I thought I was unsafe I would definitley not fly as I do not have a deathwish.
The JAR system is geared up to stop CVD pilots before they ever gain a license. I was odd because I already had an FAA license and had proved myself to be able to fly safely at night no proble. I now fly IFR without any issues.
Moral of the story based on my own experiences (and CVD condition)
Keep on flying and don't let anyone tell you that you shouldn't be a pilot. Only stop if you are unsafe and cannot distinguish the colours that you need to see for example red / white for PAPI / VASI's - One day soon the rules will change for the better.
