I had the frustration of failing the Ishihara test a few years ago, for my
first Class 2 medical. I had passed an abbreviated form many years ago and
had seen sample plates during my studies without ever suspecting I may have
a degree of "colour blindness". I was able to find a version of the test at
http://www.umds.ac.uk/physiology/dav...day/index.html, though this link
is not working tonight. Even though the test on a computer monitor is not
standardised, I had to admit that I was unable to pass. However, the good
news is that I went to the CAA at Gatwick and passed the Lantern test
without great difficulty. My AME was immediately able to issue the
certificate without restriction.

Hello again,

I'd like to thank you all for all your advice and feedback. You've given
me
a lot to think about and very much rekindled my avaition ambitions.
Sylvain, excuse my cheek but did you pass the test through good luck or
could you actualy tell the difference in colour?

I went up to the airport last night only to find GA operations had stopped
for the evening and after waiting for ages nothing bigger seemed to be
moving so I drove back home. ( However, I did look at the tops of tall
buildings and radio towers on the way and could clearly see the red
lights.
I just hope I have the same luck/ability with green. Tall structures are
supposed to have red lights aren't they? ;o)
I might venture up there earlier tonight.


Again, thankyou all very much.


Nathan
