vision testing.

[mcop306]

Is there any color vision test I can pass to get an unrestricted license if I’m red green deficient? I cannot pass the dot test. I think in the military I passed one with the lights but that was 10 years ago. Which test should I ask my doctor for? Thanks.

Either the Farnsworth Lantern or the Optec-900. Both are hard to find. I had a pilot come from Germany last week for a Farnsworth lantern because he holds a US certificate and did not want the restriction.

I just talked to a doctor who stated i could get my physical from him and do my vision testing somewhere else and bring him the results and he would sign off. Is that true? i thought once you started the test you had to finish it before leaving? Also where could i find one of thoes test in the indiana area if anyone knows? If i cant find one of thoes test how would i go about getting waiver by demonstrating my ability with someone from the FAA Or is that possiable as ive been told it was. Thanks for your help!

If you go to an eye specialist and they complete the Form 8500-7 it is true. I know of no one in Indiana. You have to repeat the color vision test each year though.

The waiver procedure is: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org...m/ame/guide/app_process/exam_tech/item52/amd/
