Grrr class 1 medical

Hey guys

I'm wondering the requirements for the eyesight part of the class 1- does anyone know??

I've been in Japan for almost 2yrs now and I think becauase everything's so close, my long sight is getting bugg**ed! I'm wanting to have some reassurance - maybe I'll set up a sign 40ft away and attempt to read it.... as long as it's not in Japanese Kanji that is...

Thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

I *think* that initial requirments for Class 1 are above -5d, and then -8 after first class1.

I'm not sure but I think that's the figures off the CAA site I read some time ago.

Thats correct - -5 for the initial and -8 for the renewal. The upper limit is +3.

Regards

Have a look at the CAA website for your queries.

If I was unkind I would write something along the lines that if you can not see the advice given in the first thread of this forum you may well not pass the vision test.

But I am not so here follows:
