I do find it a lil bit strange that the RN and and the RAF have the following variance in eyesight standards:
All are stated min standards
RAF (Pilot)
Uncorrected 6/6
Corrected N/A (as 6/6 is as good as it gets)
RN (Pilot)
Uncorrected 6/12
Corrected 6/6
As (i understand it) all RN aircrew 'we' employ are taken on with the ultimate aim of getting them into single seat F/J ie GR7/9 and later JSF... (if they haven't collected their pension by then!!)
The RAF (i assume) does the same with a view to getting someone into a F/J.
Bottom line - if you eyesight is not up to the the RAF standard but
can be corrected to 6/6 then you potentially good enough for the RN!
