CAA Class 1 Vision Query
Hi, I have a question regarding the vision requirements for the CAA Class 1 Medical and cannot find any answers to this on the CAA website nor after calling them (have sent emails too, but they passed me on to the aeromedical doctors...)
I understand that the spectacle correction limits are: Hypermetropia not exceeding +5.0 dioptres; Myopia not exceeding -6.0 dioptres; Astigmatism not exceeding 2.0 dioptres; Anisometropia not exceeding 2.0 dioptres However, I cannot find any clear cut information on the vision strength required. I've read conflicting blogs and articles around the web, some of which claim you require 6/6 or 20/20 binocular and monocular vision, while some other websites claim the threshold is 6/6 binocular vision and 6/9 monocular vision. Does anyone know which it is? 6/6 all around or 6/9 for each separate eye with 6/6 binocular vision? Thanks. |
I had the same issue as I have astigmatism and slight short sightedness (c. -2 both eyes). I'm still not sure what the thresholds are given all the different information. It was only when I went for my Class 1 medical did I find out it was fine.

AFAIK, it's 6/9 monocular vision and 6/6 binocular vision.

UK Class One requirements: Monocular 6/9 or better (for each eye) Binocular 6/6 or better There are also closer vision requirements as well. |
Hopefully that’s correct since I couldn’t get any info out of the CAA themselves.. Thanks for the replies! |
