Default FAA Rejects Farnsworth Lantern Test

"GC" == Greg Copeland writes:
GC The link also lists the following as acceptable substitutes.
GC They recommend trying to pass one of these with your
GC optimologist before you apply for the signal light test.
GC Anyone have any idea which one is preferred since the
GC Farnsworth test is no longer allowed?

Oh c'mon. Doesn't every region have a "preferred" wink-wink AME where
you can go and be guaranteed to pass if you walk through the door? We
do here. A half dozen filled urine cups lined up in the cubbyhole,
unmarked as to owner. Same eye charts for decades, and if you stumble
a bit the nurse helpfully offers a suggested response. Probably will
be a rush of old guys looking for LSA planes when our preferred AME
retires.
