Never heard anyone needing to do the Vision in the Sim... But I bet you failed a few of the "color vision" tests. Not unheard of... from the CAAC astronaut medical!!!
Now I had to hear 'Fifi' talk on my last CAAC test as my hearing in one ear was a bit below req, or I say China military requirements! After I told em I had a minor cold.
Just sat in the sim and passed after being called a "retard" upon landing

Yes, it is due to as they said a "slight Color blind issue." I was unable to see the antelope in the dots. Yes an Antelope! I have never had a problem in the cockpit or life in general. Just hoping for a heads up on what to expect.

Jota,
When you were in the SIM to check your hearing did you fly it? Do I need to be prepared for a full SIM evaluation?
Seeing the different colors in the plane or SIMS have never been a problem. Just the Antelope in the dots

I just did PNF for a cadet while the "bosses" watched... All done.
Naaah I would not prepare for a full sim. All they might want to see is that you can see the diff colors, I guess... Remember magenta and fuchsia are different! LOL
CAAC medical = JOKE!!!
And yes I always have a bit of a hard time with that darn test... Specially seing the number 69 one...

was a lot more difficult to see than the web page quoted from the last post from the set that i read/seen/used/examined.
perhaps, was the low ambient light, or perhaps it was the obscene/unfamiliar font that they use or something... really had to spell the dots to read the number

Someone should tell these morons that if you are not born colourblind you don't just " acquire " it. But I guess they have to play their little man syndrome, pi55ing contest games, gotta let them win at something.....

Was told at the china job fair that "they will put you in the sim, take you down to 100ft, and ask you, do you see the red lights? Do you see the green threshold lights? Do you see the blue taxi lights?" Let me know what you find out, cause I might have to do the same.

This sim test is to prevent cheats who memorise the colour chart sequence as well as the FAA vision tests charts. A lot of cheaters and con men getting into China these days. The Airbus instructors in PEK told me that they keep on detecting foreign fakers and cheaters in almost every intake; there are also some local con men too.
