Color bli9ndness and color deficiency are two different things. Many men have the later and not at all uncommon. For women and color blindness I guess its a different thing? The SODA is simply a test for white/green/red and one that I did back about 1970 after I had already done numerous 1st class physicals! Did the light test at the tower with a FSDO Inspector, passed it and have flown with that SODA ever since. If you are indeed unable to see the difference in white/red/green, it only keeps you limited to daytime flying, and not into controlled fields that require light signals for no radio. Not a big deal. Good luck Ol Shy & Bashful 50+ years of flying 22,000+ hours

What do you advise for a color-blind pilot wannabe? How likely is it for someone who's color-blind to get a SODA? Very likely... I have one. I had to take a "Demonstrated Test of Ability"... by taxiing out to the end of the runway with an FAA Inspector, who had the tower shine random nights at me... The aviation colors are so pure that I can tell them apart. If you can tell them apart, you can identify them. You don't have to be able to "see" the colors as the same color they are shining... only be able to identify it as "color so and so". :-) Best regards, Jer/ "Flight instruction and mountain flying are my vocation!"
