Eyesight for class 1

HB 09/05/2010, 7:55 PM
Hi,
I was wanting some advice regarding my eyesight.
My prescription reads:
Right- Sph: +0.50
Left- Sph: +2.00, Cyl: -0.75, Axis: 5

Aided: Left: 6/12
Right: 6/6
Would I be unable to gain a class 1 medical in the uk.
Sorry if it has been asked before but it means nothing to me.
Thank you for your time.
Hannah

Hi there,

This article will be of use to you...

http://www.askcaptainlim.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=854:what-are-the-eyesight-requirements-for-airline-pilots-&catid=50:eyesight&Itemid=73

See the part just below the table that reads "JAR Class 1 Requirements".

It then states what the limits are for the Class 1 JAR medical, eye-sight wise.

+0.50 and +2.00 readings are the Dioptres for your eyes.

Hope this helps!
