Eyesight for CPL...

[Dan]

as I am Red Green colour blind I want to know exactly what restrictions are on for being a civil pilot. I don't wanna join the military, don't like all the shouting...  :P
Can I get a CPL, or is it just PPL?
Thanks, Dan G

Yes it's possible, but at least in Europe (JAA) you need to pass some tests (Ishiaras or Nagels Anomaloscope)

Hi Dan!
I'm a pilot,and i can tell you that the medical licese that you need is very conscientiousness.....
As you know to work you need the commercial license,and the Class 1 medical license!
This should not let you able to fly due to your sight problem.
But you could try to obtain the Class 2 medical license,that is good just for a private license......
With this you cuold have more chanses.....becouse it's more permissive.....!
However,try to call a flight school in your country,ask for the telephone number of the LEGAL MEDICAL INSTITUTE and ask directly to them!!
It's the best way!!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
