CAA Class 2 with 3.5 Astigmatism
Good Afternoon guys...
I've just had my initial Class 2 which unfortunately I failed on one part of the vision requirements and the application was deferred to the AMS for consideration (deviation?).
Unfortunately it appears that I have a -3.5 astigmatism in my left eye which is just outside the Class 2 limit of -3.0 for initial medicals. My right eye is well within limits. (although I would've passed if it were a renewal!)
Corrected I can see perfectly well with either eye or both together giving a 6/6 left eye and 6/5 right eye (corrected) and both at 6/5 (corrected).
Do you think that the CAA will issue the Class 2 after all (I'm guessing with a spectacles required exception or similar)???
I'd like to put my mind at rest and continue training as I am really panicing about this at the moment that I won't get the class 2 and will be unable to achieve my childhood dream. I have considered the NPPL but would really like to fly aboard and add night ratings etc in the future.
Any thoughts guys?
