Now that we 'colour blind' are 'vision impaired', do we get to park in the disabled parking??:
Not only have we been 'allowed to co-pilot some aeroplanes', we have also been able to fly sometimes life saving critical missions, single-pilot in all weather and night in high performance aircraft, amongst many other things, safely for the last 25 years!!
Totally agree.
Nearly 23 years in aviation and I am CVD - Protanope (red, green deficient). 13 years of instructing, most as Muti Engine Grade 1 including AMSA approved pilot in a Tier 1 Search & Rescue unit. 2.5 years as an FO on jet transport category aircraft - night freight. 7 years single pilot aeromedical flying with 3 years on EFIS. CAR 217 CASA approved Supervisory Pilot.
Maybe I should prep my wheelchair! Apparently I am an "inherent risk to the safety of aviation" according to the CASA PMO.
