Eyesight Requirements

[thehoop]

What are the eyesight requirements for commercial pilots in the UK?

I am -1, -1.5 and require corrected vision to drive. Will this prevent me from obtaining a pilots licence?

thehoop - Class 1 standards as applied by the CAA are + / - 5 d - full detail on vision standards is here (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/49/SRG_MED_JAR_C1_Initial_Visual_Stds.pdf).

A tip for the future - Eyesight is something that is asked about virtually daily here. A quick search for something like 'Class One Eyesight' will answer your questions about 50 times over!! ;)
