Following my colour vision examination at City University, I received a letter from the CAA yesterday wishing me well for the future, whilst informing me that I failed to meet the current medical standard for colour vision. The letter also reminded me (like I needed it) of the comprehensive list of restrictions to my licence.

Not a suprising result for me admittedly, but still immensely frustrating.

I sincerely hope my small contribution towards City University's project works to the advantage of all colour defectives, in reducing the CAA's discriminatory medical standards.

Does anyone know (or have a copy of) what the specific aviation tasks/scenario's are, that the CAA deem as unattainable to colour defectives?

I've heard the arguments, but I've never seen a CAA/JAA paper identifying them.

Thank you.
