Hi everyone, i'm new on this forum.
About colour blindness, i can assess that today's restrictions are totally stupid.
Just be aware of the Arthur Pape case.
He is an australian doctor and also a private pilot, he fought against the restriction to colour blind people for becoming pilots.
Thanks to him, all colour blind people can now be pilot in Australia.
But when in the rest of the world?
This man demonstrated that colour blindness does not affect abilities to pilot of a man. They pilot as as well as the others, and there is no reason to avoid them becoming pilots.
This is a TRUE problem all over the world, many colour blind (as I) want to become professional pilots or militar pilots but we CAN'T. Visit this site in french :
Pilote Daltonien | Accueil , with the case of Arthur Pape in english.
Personally, i just got a derogation in France and now have my class 1.
I just wanted to inform you that it's totally stupid, the Army and all airlines give many able pilots a miss...
And you also have to know that many current pilots are colour blind but do not say it...and they've never had problems...
