Some options for the colour challenged
Just incase anyone else has the same question here is a bit more info I have gleaned.
1) Instructor Rating requires CPL
2) CPL requires either Night VFR or Command Rating
3) Currently colour vision restriction precludes Night VFR
4) Command Rating comes in two parts (I think) day IMC and night IMC
So here are the options as I currently see them in order of cost and complexity:
a) seek exemption (aka wise and proactive Dr)
b) look to have CASA supervise flight check at night and identify coloured lights
c) Obtain day IMC Command rating and seek confirmation from CASA that this fulfils requirements for Instructors Rating
Any thoughts, confirmation of the implied assumptions etc greatly appreciated.
