Colour Blindness and Indian Medicals
hi,
i recently appeared for dgca class 2 medicals and realised i had some form of colour blindness.
the class2 medical examiner advised that i have failed my medicals due to the condition. but india follows ICAO rules and according to them there are more tests to be conducted to determine the degree of colour blindness and after that a candiate is advised if he has met the standards for colour perception set by ICAO or if he is unfit.
my medical examiner had no knowledge about it and said that he had not seen anyone passing medicals with colour blindness with dgca.
is there anyone who had the same condition and is either flying or has class 1 medicals with dgca. can someone please shed some light to this issue and advise what can be done!!!!
cheers
