CAD Testing
Hi guys,
Cliche as it sounds, I've always wanted to become pilot ever since I was a little kid.
Upon discovering that I was CVD I decided to stray away from this industry. Having recently completed a bachelors degree I realised that with my CVD condition, purusing a career may be possible. Thus having gone to my aviation medical examiner- as expected I've passed all other components of the test (for a Class 1 Medical) however failed the ISHIHARA plate tests. Subsequently I was directed to the fansworth test which I had failed as well with a 'severe deficiency' result. Thus I've recently scheduled a CAD test (a make or break for me).
Thus I have a few questions:
How can I practice for the CAD test?
What does it involve?
Has anyone attempted this test before? What is the pass/fail rate of the test?
To my understanding a Class 1 Medical is required for any remunerated work in Australia.
If I fail this component am I eligible for a Class 1 Medical-with restriction to day time flying only. Realistically what are my career prospects with this restriction in Australia?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
