Transport Canada and the D-15
Hello,
Currently, only two aviation authorities approve the Farnsworth D-15, Transport Canada and New Zealand for an unrestricted class 1. Does anyone have any insight on whether this could change (Become more restricted in the future- E.g. CAD testing). I am colour-blind, protanomaly, and failed the CAD test. The CAD test has a pass mark of 12 units, above that, you fail. If Canada decided to remove the D-15 and replace it with the CAD would:
Existing pilots who passed the D-15, but failed the CAD have their medicals revoked?
Would the pass mark be the same 12 units for protans or could it be dependent on the authority (I scored 17.25)
Does anyone know if this is under review to change the D-15?
I am asking because I passed the D-15, under medical conditions, (I'm from the UK) and looking to start flight training in Canada. I would hate to arrive and in a few years they suddenly say I am not medically fit. I understand these are tricky questions, but if anyone could provide any information it would be greatly appreicated.
Kind regards, Ollie Seaward
