DS is for Dioptres, some form of measurement which google would probably explain!.. and the limits for a Class 1 (which are more stringent than a Class 2 I think - stand to be corrected though) medical are -5 / +5. I have eyesight of a similar standard, and as long as it's fully correctable normally there isn't a problem (notwithstanding other eyesight conditions such as astigmatisms... can't advise sorry mate!). With military, sure, you can't very well wear glasses when pulling 4g 50ft off the deck because if they fall off then... well. Anyway, I digress.

Hi Guys,
Question about Class one medicals.
Say I was to go over to the states and get my class 1.
Would I be able to do my Integrated training course back home in the UK?
Cheers

I heard if you get your FAA license and have a FAA Class I medical (correct to 20/20, no diopter stuff) and then go for the JAA/CAA class one they use ther renewal standards.
I'm not sure if you need a FAA ATPL or a CPL to get in and use the renewal standards.
