Other thing that is worrying me is that on the initial application form that needs to be sent before you are invited to any stages, it asks you to enter your full eyesight prescription. If i put down that i am -6 & -7, does that mean my application will just be put straight onto the 'No' pile without any further consideration by somebody in HR? Or is this just filed until the end of the stages for when I get my full medical?(assuming i get that far).
Write a note on the application or send an email/phone them with all your details (once sent off) explaing that you have contacted the CAA regarding your eyesight and that they see no why this should preclude you from the application process and then to be able to on to be an ATCO if successful.
