Cheers for the feedback.

I'm chuffed but then the test wasn't really testing me on Aviation colours.
So i'm taking the result with a pinch of salt. I do admit from what I have read about the tests, they do seem a bit dated and a little impractical. But I guess as with everything the CAA have their reasons and as it's a safty thing I don't think they can afford to be anything else but air-tight.

It does make me wonder how some of us would perform if they did test us using different means. For example showing us a picture of Wx radar or EFIS and electronic ADI instrument.

As you say Soup Nazi everything else is backed up by raw data. If the big handle above you starts flashing and screaming and it says: ENG FIRE on it, you cut of the fuel, extinghuish the fire and the rest of it before you even notice the thing was red!

That might be a rather simplistic view on the whole CVD in the cockpit issue but untill I sit down in a cockpit with all these pretty coloured lights and gadgets i'll probably never know if I can / could safely operate it.
