What do you advise for a color-blind pilot wannabe? How likely is it for
someone who's color-blind to get a SODA?

I'm colour blind, and my license is endorsed "Daytime only, and functioning
radio in controlled airspace."
Otherwise no problem..........

Fascinating. What's with the radio requirement?

And isn't all airspace controlled on the east coast?

And what are you supposed to do if the radio conks?

Basically it means you cannot use light guns for clearance. I'm
colorblind and have been flying for 25 years. While not being able
to fly at night is a major hassle, in those 25 years I've never needed
light guns anyway. And if I ever did, I'd probably consider it a bona
fide emergency anyway.
