Well, took the test today. I took the floating E's test, and thought it went well. Zennoposter torrent crack windows. Had 20/20 vision on the charts, and then the dreaded words-'now lets check your color vision'. If you don't know what it is, it shows 2 rows of 4 boxes, and in each box is a different color-kinda like the Ishihara plates-and the E is facing a different direction in each one.

Flew through the first 4-no problem, then got the next 1 and started having problems with the last 3. The nurse assured me I only need to get 6 out of 8, so I got the next one right and flipped the last two-so I got the 6 I needed. I was extremely happy!! Well, that lasted for about 5 minutes-I went in to see the doc, and he said-'I see you had a problem with the color? Let's get out the color plates and see how bad it is'. I panicked.that is why I went to him-I knew he had the alternate test I could pass. Sure enough, I can't see hardly any of the plates.

AOC-HRR, 2nd, 1-11 Any errors on plates 5-10 Richmond Products Dvorine 2nd Edition More than 2 errors on plates 1-15 Richmond Products Special Instructions Test Administration The Examiner must document the color vision test instrument used, version, answer sheet with the actual subject responses and the score. If MEDExpress is used.

He then said the dreaded words-I am going to have to put 'Not valid for night flight or by color signal'. I couldn't believe what I was hearing-I thought I was ok with the first test.then this happened. How can I pass one test, then he re-evaluates me and gives me the restriction. Is that right?? Can he do that? Of course he tells me, now you can contact FSDO and schedule a light gun test and get that taken care of.

But, from what I heard you don't want to do that because if you mess up, you get the permenant restriction. Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

I got this from the AOPA website. I've been dealing with the same thing so I feel your pain. Whatever you do take the lightgun test as a last resort.
