Colourblind pilots | Snippet Video

[@hugochandler9265]

this form of testing makes so much more sense than a cad test or a few coloured pieces of paper

[@envy4839]

I don't really understand the video, is this a test that could be used as oppose to a CAD/ishihara test. Or is it simply a demonstration?

[@itzajdmting]

The problem with it, is that it is yet more colour naming. The issue at hand is can the colour deficient pilot carry out the safe duties of an airman. A basic flight related test would be more appropriate, as colour is actually part of double or triple redundancy - and often it's more important for the pilot to identify values, states, conditions etc.... So ask the pilot: what is your current height above the ground? What is your current speed? What does your weather radar indicate? What attitude do the instruments currently indicate? Etc etc... these are all operational activities.

[@itzajdmting]

​@@envy4839it's a test that could be offered after a pilot has already failed to meet the required standard on the CAD test.

[@Mangobrain82]

I could definitely see the colors he was pointing out and I failed ishihara tests.

I don't understand why he needs to know the color of everything you can tell whether or not their is a problem by reading the display for example when the when the landing gear fails to come down their is an x thru the failed gear and I don't care what color the heading bug is I just need to see what direction its pointing to. Same with the weather radar he may not see the exact shade of green he is supposed to see but he can tell where the darker greens/heavier obstacles are. There is some problem when it comes to seeing the approach lights although there is also mathamatical ways to determine if you are on the glide slope. There was alittle problem with some of the map colors but you can learn to regognize map symbols and use logic to determine what some map lines are. I think mildly color blind people should be allowed to be pilots if they can compensate by doing things alittle differently.

[@ljamarco]

That’s is exactly the point. The question shouldn’t be “if the guy see the colors” but “does he need to see (or to know) the color to understand what’s going on”….

[@joeblowjohndoe206]

It's total bullshit. I got lucky and had an amazing examiner that realized I could see the difference enough to fly, and he passed me. He was a pilot himself. I literally haven't been affected by my deficiency nor have I really noticed the need to differentiate colors anyway. I really wish they would change the standards.

[@CalcioFanta]

@@joeblowjohndoe206 and you became a pilot or not ? Became i don’t pass The Cad test but i can see all colors without problem and i want to make di simulation flight test

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

It's important because things will appear different colors (words, numbers, symbols) and they have different meaning. If you cant tell if your Nav source is GPS or LOC because you cant tell if you're needles are pink or green, that can have you fly a glide-slope right into the side of a cliff when you think you're safe on a LPV glidepath.

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

@@joeblowjohndoe206 It's not bullshit; this guy couldn't tell where the papi's were at 10 and 7nm, that's a huge no-no. When you go visual on an instrument approach you keep your head outside the cockpit and aren't going to be running mathematics in your head to see if you are where you need to be. Too much risk when every other pilot in the world can look at it and simply tell if they're too high, too low, or on path. Additionally if a pilot is unable to differentiate the modes his aircraft is in (as determined by the color of certain numbers words and symbols), he can get disorientated and confused about the status of his programming/aircraft and cause an accident. I'm slightly colorblind myself and have to go a special AME and can pass alternate tests, but there's a reason this screening exists in the first place.

[@ayeitzsimon]

i have a slight deutan but was looking at the normal colours, i saw everything fine

[@russelngo2384]

Im 15 year old colour deficient person. And i want to become an ailine pilot in the future. Is there any chance i can become one?

[@sunbulah9779]

Jaxon Mattox Farnsworth is hardener and more extensive than Ishihara

[@StefAnimation]

You can do a CAD test or a lantarn test if it’s only a mild deficiency you’ll be allright.

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

I'm commercial pilot multi engine instrument doing CFI work now and failed the isahara tests, it's certianly do-able. talk to an Aviation Medical Examiner who specializes in complex casesengine

[@noahm9976]

how and where do i get this test. and when in my training should i get it. while i’m getting my medical before i start training?

[@philipc7801]

Can someone who passes this fly as PIC on a single crew aircraft? For example participating in crop spraying, flying single crew transport or cargo operations in a C208 etc? Or does the person have to fly in a multi-crew set up only? Any info appreciated..

[@kacperpawlowski1149]

You can fly colourblind only during the day.

[@rahiqal-makhtum2107]

i'm strong deutan. Can i be a pilot?

[@VictoryAviation]

This is terrifying to watch even though I could see the colors 99% correctly

[@finn4aviation320]

how is it terrifying

[@VictoryAviation]

@@finn4aviation320 Because if you fail any part of the test, you cannot ever be a commercial pilot. So therefore your dreams are all dashed. That’s terrifying.

[@finn4aviation320]

@@VictoryAviation Haha i feel you on that matter. I'm doing my class-1 medical in 2024 and i'm mainly "worried" for the visual tests, it's scary I'm not gonna lie that's why i'm already doing color vision tests etc online.

[@VictoryAviation]

@@finn4aviation320 Make sure to visit an ophthalmologist before your test. Ask the ophthalmologist for a consultation. Tell them you specifically want to try more than one color vision screening if they have more than one. That way you’ll know before ever setting foot inside your actual screening.

[@itzajdmting]

​@@finn4aviation320how did you get on with your class 1?

[@rahulbharadwaj6940]

Did this person pass the test?

[@4_U_Music]

i guess yes !

[@OrionsKelt]

Did this pilot pass the test even with the few slight errors that he made?

[@maguires20inchforehead9]

G H probably

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

I dont know not being able to tell the PAPI poisiton (all red and all white) at 10 and 7nm is kinda iffy

[@youngtedbundy2153]

10 nm all red right?

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

Yeah the fact he couldn't see that is significant.

[@itzajdmting]

I've replied to you in another comment at length, but I had not seen that he had failed to identify the 4 red PAPIs at 10nm. I agree with you that that is an issue, but I'm guessing this was probably more a case of being unfamiliar with this environment and not wanting to speak until he got a closer look ... Who knows.... But those 4 red either side were unmistakable for any student pilot and upwards. ​@@ColHogan-zg2pc

[@machaca111]

Does anyone know, why is there no colour safe for air traffic controllers?

[@kacperpawlowski1149]

In Europe we have class 3 medical and they can fail you on colour

[@ColHogan-zg2pc]

ATC has most strict color-vision testing than for pilots.

[@hamzakhalid5196]

Did he passed ?

[@mishakostyanovsky1557]

Does anyone know where to book this test

[@johnlocke3481]

This is not at all what colorblindness looks like. The fact that you can’t be a pilot because of this is hilarious. I can fly Commercial planes in Microsoft Flight Sim with ease
