The battle over CVD standards in New Zealand has been heating up over recent months, with a review into the standards currently underway.
The issue has even made it into the NZ Parliament where the standards were recently questioned:
New Zealand Parliament - 6. Pilot Licensing?Colour Vision Requirements
I have been informed that in July there was also a meeting by a group including representatives from CVDPA, AOPA NZ, AIA and several more supporting the interests of CVD pilots. They met with the top brass of the NZ CAA and are lobbying hard to align the NZ standards with that of Australia.
There is certainly momentum starting to build at all levels internationally to challenge the standards. If you would like to see change, get behind organisations like CVDPA to show your support!
