Japanese Medical
 

Hi Lear70,

I'm new to this forum. I was curious about the medical. You said that,

"...you have good hearing and good vision", there should be no problem.

Does the medical have any uncorrected vision standards that you might know of? In a earlier post, there was a link to the Japanese medical standards, in Japanese unfortunately:

http://www.aeromedical.or.jp/manual/manual.htm

On the wasinc.net site, e.g., for the JALways FO position, it specifically says:
Medical Requirements: Uncorrected near vision maximum of 20/60, Uncorrected distance vision maximum of 20/80, Corrected vision of 20/20 (20/15 prefered), Cholesterol under 200, Height/Weight: BMI of 27 or less(kgs./cms./cms.= BMI).

I am just wondering if the above is the standard, although the requirements for the ANA/JP Express job only specify ICAO State Class 1 Medical Certificate. I have a US Class 1, but can't meet the above uncorrected vision mins:{

Anyone with any info, please help.

Thanks
