Hello all,
I plan to start training very soon -zero to hero but before i start i thought it prudent to do the Class 1 med...
Results:
Passed it just about, re right eye is amblyopic (lazy eye), and visual acuity is 6/9 right and 6/6 left.
fantastic!!
As i just barely passed the IAA initial it was suggested by a friend that i do the CAA med as a second opinion ( seems futile now), which i did as ill be investing alot in training and want to be sure i'm fit.
Went to the U.K. to do an initial exam and
failed because my right eye was 6/12 and could not be corrected to 6/9..
The standards should be the same of course !!! So passed one and failed the other!!
I plan to fly in Ireland (train in U.K./USA) but not sure how this will affect me down the line , i can resit CAA med but at the time had to get specalist while i was there at initial and he failed me..not sure if i'll pass reassessment..
Any advice really really appreciated, has anyone experience of this?
Dave.
