|  Color Vision Testing
It is difficult to find a place to get alternative color vision testing performed. We have just added the OPTEC 900 to our list of FAA approved color vision testing devices. We have always had the Keystone Orthoscope, Farnsworth lantern and Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates. We expect to have the OPTEC 2000 for color vision testing in 2-3 weeks. |

| Re: Color Vision Testing
I figured this was probably answered previously, but couldn't find it. I also posted in the ATC section, but they suggest I ask here... What are the options for an ATC candidate with color deficiency? I have a waiver right now from taking the signal light gun test back in '97 for my pilot medical. I was recently invited to take the ATC screening test, but I don't want to waste my time or theirs if I'm just going to fail the Ischira plates and be DQ'd. What's the current SOP for ATC candidates on this? Thanks!

The AT-COV is the test they use if you cannot pass the Ishihara plates.

I have had ATC pass the DVORINE plates who oddly can not pass the Farnsworth Lantern. -Mark GLencross Lakeland Florida |
