Well I failed the farnsworth and I suppose the other colour vision tests they gave me. Apparently I have Deuteranopia, which means I am missing the green cone from my eyes. This is quite servere colour blindness... and will in all likelyhood prevent me from pursueing in aviation. So I just have 2 questions to ask:
1. Is there any other options available to me now this has happened?
2. Why do aviation signals rely primarily on red and green when green colour blindness is the most common form? Why not red and blue?
