EASA adopting Austrailian standards

Hi Folks,

What are your thoughts on EASA adopting the compliance that Austrailia have when it comes to colour vision deficient pilots. When it comes to medical matters, a lot of ideas and procedures get copied from one aviation organisation to the next. For example look at the regulations that EASA now implement for type one diabetics (insulin injecting). That all started in Canada. Other regulators realised that there was no danger, so they realised they were in the wrong with grounding them.

Now that's it's clear that no apparent danger exists when a CVD pilot is flying thanks to Austrailia, when will other regulators realise that? And start adopting what's been successful in Austrailia.

Any thoughts would be excellent....
