Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am gutted that i was told as a kid that failing the isihara test meant I could not plan to have a career in aviation. I was only 12 at the time so did not gave the sense to find out more. My fault
. Goes to show what the devastating power of a little misinformation is
Thanks to some emails from some very helpful people in this thread I have started learning some of the phraseology and will book a medical exam in the next few weeks.
The encouragement in this thread is fantastic. I had initially thought I would only want to fly around the UK. However after reading some of your other posts and websites etc it sounds like flights in to Europe are achievable and fun so i am going to go for ppl rather than nppl if the medical permits
. The biggest hurdle to all of this is cost. I'll deal with that one when i have to though.
