OASC Medical (Eyesight) reply

Morning everyone,

Received my eye-sight results from the OASC this morning via my local AFCO, and it wasn't good news.

I was told I am unfit for Pilot, WSO, WSOp & WSOp (L) due to an Astigmatism in my right eye (the weaker of my eyes). I'm not sure if this means permanetly or temporarily.

I'm pretty gutted, had my heart set out on a Flying career, not even worth considering for the Royal Navy or AAC as Aircrew as my eyes aren't even close to what they as asking for.

Time to close the door on Aviation and look into another career.

Thanks.
