Dear all
I have a question concerning medical standards for a pilot
As we all know, different countries have their own medical standards for their pilots. As there are differences in term of each medical standards, there might have situations that certain health conditions are acceptable in a particular medical standards but not others. For example, CASA is ok for a person with visual acuity of 6/9 with one eye and 6/6 with both eyes to apply for class 1 medical certificate, while FAA's class 1 medical standard is required not only the said requirement but also the difference between each eye can not be exceeded +2.00 (if I remember correctly)
Here is my question, under this scenario, if a pilot wannabee of australia whose medical fitness can only fulfil to apply for class 1 medical certificate in australia but not the america's, what implication does a pilot wannabee of australia have? does it mean he can fly to america?
Thanks for your help in answering my enquiries
