About Us

Committed to change in colour vision regulation for pilots in Europe

ECDAA is a non-profit group in which CVD pilots have come together to create awareness and change within Europe on colour vision regulation for aircrew. We support and provide advice for anyone facing medical denials or loss of licenses due to the restrictive regulation currently in place. We work together to push for change within EASA towards a fairer more practical methods of testing that will stop the discrimination of many pilots and high-quality candidates. These testing methods are already being used in New Zealand and Australia where change has been made. We welcome you to join us and become part of this great community!
