|  air traffic control Ok, I am interested in becoming an air traffic controller, but before I started anything, I had a couple of questions to ask. First off, I am color deficient (not color blind)... basically I can see the difference between red/blue/green but I have trouble distinguishing between different reds and such. Is this something that would disqualify me? I read that there are multiple color vision tests you can take other than the Ishihara test... anyone know anything about this? I also have a mild heart murmur (usually the doctor can't even hear it). I read that if I had a cardiologist write me a letter for the physical that all would be alright... is this true? Anyone else out there have any of these issues? |

| Re: air traffic control The heart murmur will not be an issue. The color deficiency is another issue, especially with the FAA going to digital displays with multiple shades of colors. They have a Farnsworth lantern modification (Aviation Light Test) the Regional offices use for ATC testing. |
