Hi all,
I have recently been offered a position with Airservices Australia to commence ATC training. I have been flying for 2 years and have held a Class 1 medical certificate from CASA, but I have poor vision in one eye and am classified as functionally monocular. In Australia a waiver is available for people with functional monocularity to gain a Class 1 or 2 medical, but not a class 3, as required for ATC. My case is currently under review by CASA and I may still be granted Class 3 certification depending on the review.
I have 2 questions, if anyone is able to help.
1. Does anybody know of any similar cases in Australia, that have been approved for Class 3?
2. Can anybody give me some information about the requirements in other countries, eg. is someone with functional monocularity eligible for class 3 in Europe, the UK or US?
much thanks in advance,
Benny86
