I had my third class medical today and received my student certificate. I was expecting to fail the color vision test and be issued a "NOT VALID AT NIGHT OR BY COLOR SIGNAL CONTROL" note on my certificate. However... they simply never checked my vision at all! The doctor is a pilot himself and I know he's experienced with giving aviation medicals.
Obviously I'm not going to go out and put myself in a situation where color blindness might put me or anyone else in danger, but I'm not inclined to make a big deal out of this. Was I lucky? Was the AME mistaken, or was he just giving me a break since I'm an otherwise-healthy 23 year old in good shape?
Thanks!
