Re: 8500-7
But remember if you do the above mentioned, it has to be done EVERY time you renew your medical unless you take a OCVT (operational color vision test.
I called the FAA and here is what they had to say...
*If you go to the AME and FAIL the color vision test YOU CAN STILL TAKE AN ALTERNATE TEST with a normal optometrist to get the limitation removed.
*You can also go to a normal optometrist with the 8500-7 form and have an optometrist fill that out along with attatching PASSING color vision results from an APPROVED FAA color vision test and then take that to the AME ahead of time and you will bypass the vision test and color vision test.
