Eyesight Standards

ANTCLIFF

Sorry to pour water on your aspirations but there is no leniency given on eyesight standards at OASC even if you apply from the ranks. It is very black and white and the only possible latitude is shown to re-entrant aircrew who are already trained and have relevant experience to offer; even possibly from other services - even then it is not a given as a matter of course but on a case by case basis. That rule equally applies to other branches that may have eyesight standards suchs as fighter control or ATC. Same rule applies to airman aircrew but might be relaxed for linguists.
