Colour Vision and Class 1

[gijoe]

JP,

I am fairly sure that you will get a restricted JAA Class 1 for your expired restricted CAA Class 2 and will not have to go to CAA house. An appropriately qualified AME will be able to do it.

AAAAAghhhhhhhh

The penny has just dropped.I have a JAA class 2 medical so I suppose its a new ball game.Can I still get a restricted class 1 to get my instructor rating back??

JP,

I think that you will have to go to CAA House to have the initial medical. Stand by for the bill ! You won't be able to get a JAA Class 1 (restricted) on the strength of your JAA Class 2 as it would be like me getting a CAA Class 1 on my CAA Class 3

All these classes and abbreviations...

Found on the CAAs website the other day -

Project Title - Advantages of normal colour vision in pilots visual tasks.

Objectives - To establish whether normal colour vision has any advantages in visual tasks that involve suprathreshold (?) stimuli defined by colour luminance contrast.

Background - ...It is therefore of interest to establish whether normal colour vision has any advantages in visual tasks that are typical of those involved in flying aircraft. The results will be used in future JAA discussions.

I can't remember the URL but at least this shows that they are thinking about things. I might just give the guy a ring and volunteer to be a subject....

The fight goes on...never lose hope!
