And weres that stated?
In the file I showed you, in this part:
There will be no short-term deviation route for new initial class 1 applicants...
The only deviation that still applies is the long-term one and only if you hold an ICAO CPL, in the event you fall outside the initial standard but within the revalidation:
Those who fall outside the initial standard, but within the revalidation standard and subject to satisfactory assessment and appropriate limitations, may be considered for a long-term deviation, which will then be transferred to their JAA licence, when issued.
Once you got your "long-term deviated" class 1 you want to remove the deviation. How?
...the deviation will remain as long as the medical condition is still present and/or the relevant regulations remain in force.
So you have two choices:
1)You wait for the regulations to change.
2)You find a way to make the "medical condition not to be present anymore", as they want. In other words, you decide to have an eye surgery to have your problem removed. Once you have done this, you will have a new examination and they will remove the deviation.
Hope this helps!
