Please accept my apologies if this post is misplaced within the forum, as I am uncertain of the appropriate subforum for this inquiry. I am a 17-year-old aspiring pilot who is about to embark on the exciting journey of studying modular aviation. As I begin my preparations, I find myself facing a dilemma regarding the selection of the most suitable medical class. With limited financial resources at my disposal, I am seeking guidance from the experienced members of this esteemed community.
My primary concern lies in determining whether I should pursue a Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 medical examination. The reason behind my decision to undertake this assessment beforehand is to ensure that my eyesight meets the requisite standards for a career in aviation. As the eyesight requirement is of utmost importance, I believe it is prudent to ascertain its adequacy early on in my pursuit.
While I am aware that a Class 1 medical examination encompasses a more comprehensive evaluation, I am unclear about the specific components included in the Class 2 and Class 3 assessments. My limited financial means prompt me to consider whether undertaking a Class 2 or Class 3 medical examination might provide me with sufficient information regarding my eyesight, without incurring the substantial costs associated with a Class 1 examination.
In light of the above, I kindly request the experienced aviators of this forum to share their valuable insights and expertise. Your recommendations regarding the merits and differences of each medical class, particularly with regard to evaluating eyesight, would greatly assist me in making an informed decision. Despite extensive searches online, I have been unable to find comprehensive information that clarifies these distinctions. Therefore, I humbly turn to this esteemed community of knowledgeable pilots, hoping to benefit from your wisdom and firsthand experiences.
Thank you for your attention, and I eagerly anticipate your guidance - bakerin.
