Hi there - just a quick question that someone may be able to assist with.
Do you, or do you know of anyone, who has been issued with an FAA First Class Medical who has LESS than 20/20 CORRECTED vision in one eye? (Binocular vision better than 20/20 - other eye better than 20/20)
I am about to consider a major career change and need to know if I should even get the ball rolling. I am unable to achieve 20/20 in one eye (I get about 20/25 corrected and 20/30 uncorrected) and I have an FAA Form 8500-7 from an ophthalmologist that states that I have no other visual acuity problems - am I in with a chance?
The fact that Form 8500-7 exists suggests there is room for approvals such as this, but it would be good to hear from someone who has had similar experience before I upheave my life!
