Hello,
Today I unfortunately failed the CAD test by getting a score of 10 for a duetan CVD. I also failed by getting a few wrong on the Lantern test, but I did pass the Farnsworth D-15 test, and I was wondering which authorities accept this method, since I failed the 2 methods before and will never pass the Ishihara test. I have been looking at Canada, but I am not sure if it will be accepted.
Hello folks,
Just wandering if anyone knows how long the CAA would keep records for colour testing? I failed the CAD back in 2013. Now that 11 years have passed, if I was to do the CAD again, would they average it with the results from 2013?
Thanks in advance.
Excellent, my class 2 ran out in 2015. I can check, but I think the renewal date was in April. I’m hopeful that we will see change soon with the CAA.
Thanks for the reply.
With consultation on the proposed AOCVA closing just over a week ago, here’s an update on what we know.
The CASA consultation results are out which are very supportive of the AOCVA.
To the best of our knowledge, CASA are continuing to operate to the goal of having the proposed instrument finalised by early May.
The Technical Working Group (TWG) that provided input into the proposed AOCVA will meet in the coming week to review the feedback that came out of the consultation process. A huge shout out to everyone who provided feedback as part of this process.
All signs continue to point to this moving forward in a timely way, but let’s not lose sight until we reach the finish line!
More updates to follow as we find out more.
Does any one know of a facility that could test to provide evidence that you can capture the same information from an EFIS as a trichromatic pilot with normal colour vision?
It might allow me do a BIR if I can show this.
Hello Kieran
I can get you access to a 737-800 fixed based sim. Our panel was also looking at investigating into a similar project , using reaction times and eye tracking software to collect the data but its at the idea stage at the moment.
Feel free to send me an email at ecdaa.info@gmail.com. we can discuss this in more detail.
I would be interested to hear your ideas on this.
Well I’ve just had word from transport Canada that my passed D15 test does not satisfy them for a class 1 medical.
