JAA vision requirements..??..HELP
Hi folks,
Can anybody shed a little light on a particular subject for me..namely these rumours about the CAA giving some kind of dispensation towards an FAA class 1 medical holder.
I have an FAA first class medical and have held it for the last 3 years, I also have an FAA Multi-CPL/IR, and CFI rating ( certified flight instructor..!! ).
In all honesty, the only reason I haven't gone down the JAR route is because of my eyesight, which is a little bit 'iffy' to say the least, but as you know if it can be corrected to 20/20 then the FAA are happy..! So what's this about the CAA..????
and please don't say give the CAA a call, I'm in the US at the moment and the phone lines are appalling ( I've already tried email, to no avail )
Any help would be absolutely, honestly, gratefully recieved,

Have you tried these pages at all?
class one eyesight requirements
and
general medical requirements
They may help you get the info you're after.

Captmav,
Help cannot be given until we know your prescription. The FAA CPL route does indeed change the class 1 initial medical criteria, including some of the eyesight issues.
If you don't want to post your presciption then message me and I will gladly offer all the relevant info I have.
Regards
LF
