Plan to improve colour vision deficiency policy for pilots

Work is underway to settle and formalise colour vision testing options for pilots who are not able to pass clinical colour vision tests.

Our aim is to have new testing options available for pilots by the end of April that are formally determined in a legislative instrument.

The tests will recognise that many pilots with a colour vision deficiency can demonstrate they are able to operate safely and competently without any medical or operational restrictions.

Consultation is currently underway through our Aviation Safety Advisory Panel, and public consultation on the proposed testing options is expected before the end of March.

The options will include a practical assessment designed to demonstrate a pilot’s ability to effectively distinguish colours and coloured lights through a robust and standardised operational test.

Pilots who are unable to pass the prescribed Ishihara or Farnsworth colour vision clinical tests and are seeking to renew their medical certificate are encouraged to call our Aviation Medicine team on 131 757 to discuss their individual circumstances.

We will work hard to ensure this interim period gives rise to as little disruption as possible, while satisfying current safety and regulatory requirements.

Here we go again yet another totally non-sensical, bollocks, bureaucratic make work program from our Big-R regulator, with CASA AVMAD reinventing the CVD wheel? - FDS!
