ATPL training medicals.
Hi All,
First off I apologise as I understand this is probably a question that as been asked a million and one times already, but I'm finding the wording in the EASA and CAA regulations and guidelines as clear as mud (makes a change.)
I'm currently looking at professional pilot training, I have a PPL but the one issue is, my eyesight isn't as sharp as I'd like it (thanks genetics), I wear both lenses and glasses, my lenses in my left eye are dead on -6.0 myopia, so I estimate my glasses to be either -6.25 or -6.5.
Now, in the guidelines it states nobody with myopia over -6.0 can gain an ATPL through EASA, something I found hard to believe they could justify, but hey, rules are rules...
Is there any way that they make exceptions to this rule? How strict are they on it?
Also what stance do they take on psychoactive medicine, in particular SSRI's?
Thanks for any responses!
