posibble to get class 1 if exceed correction limit?

[fhchiang]

is it possible to get a INITIAL CLass 1 if one exceeds the correction limits?

i mean, any compromise by them?

[Blinkz]

do you mean in the UK? or another country? In the UK if you are more then the intial limits and within the renewal limits then the CAA will look at your case

[fhchiang]

hmm......

well....


actually.. i want to know whether it can be done in malaysia or not

[Halfbaked_Boy]

In the UK if you exceed the inital but comply with renewal standards you have what is known as a 'Deviation' issued to your medical. This allows you to go through professional pilot training, upon completing which (CPL, ATPL, IR etc.) the deviation will be removed

F,

May be you can have a look around on this Malaysian DCA website.

If it is not on there at least the telephone number for the relevant department is on there and I suggest you ring them.

Best of luck.

it's always worth reading older threads! This was exactly the question I was going to ask!
Can anyone tell me what these limits are? I had it written on a sticky note once, but sticky notes aren't the easiest things to keep track of!
thanks
