Class 1 - Colour Blindness CAA/FAA
Towards the end of last year I took my class 1 medical at Gatwick and failed the ishihara plates followed by the lantern test (my prescription wasn't 100% but don't think I would of passed it anyway). I was told by a friend of a friend who is a pilot that he flew with a colourblind pilot from the UK as he went to get a faa certificate.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible. I had a quick look and found that the colour blindness test is less strict than the CAA but is there anyway of finding out in the uk rather than having to make a special expensive trip to the US only to find out that I cannot become a pilot.
Also does it restrict me to working in America and there not living in the UK?
Thanks in advance.
