If you mean the medical requirements, look at Annex IV here

(Euro law but copied & pasted into UK law).

Sorry I should have been more specific - i will look at that but i ment general guidelines, the stuff that every pilot should read etc

CAA's Skyway code might be useful, AFE PPL course books or the Air Pilot's manual are good for general understanding & studying for the exams. The books are also available individually if you don't want to buy the full set.

Hi, For what's worth it:

I have been denied a Medical Class 2 due to monocular vision. However, I must mention that I don't have any depth perception.
It is true that you are able to obtain a Class 2 if you have reduced depth perception.
I received a LAPL instead. But I am Belgian, not UK.

Happy holidays!

I used to fly with two pilots in the RAF who only had one eye each.

Wiley Post was a one eyed pilot, flew the first earth circumnavigation in a single engine aircraft and was the developer of the first practical pressure suit for high altitude flight

We had two chaps who when they flew together had a pair of hands between them. One had lost the fingers on one hand through a farming accident, the other had lost the fingers on one hand when he landed on a booby trapped artillery shell.
