I'm looking to start towards RPL then PPL. However, I want to get my medical out of the way first before I spend a lot of money on training.
I wear specs and have been told I need to bring two pairs of glasses to my CASA Class 2 medical. I understand you require a spare when flying but didn't think I would need to present both pairs at the medical.
My prescription is pretty specialised (read expensive) so I was only planning on buying another set of specs once I was told I was OK from a medical perspective since I have no need for a spare in my daily life.
Can anybody confirm this is the requirement or whether the receptionist just got it wrong? I thought they were testing my eyesight, not my glasses!
Appreciate any advice you guys have!
Thanks,
Watson
Avoid the RPL. Do the PPL, and at an airfield which has air traffic control.
