![]() ![]() Use one demonstration and 14 test plates (the orange number on page one is a demo plate only, and not a test plate, and should not be counted).Passing criteria is 12 or more plates correctly read, i.e., no more than 2 errors. Scoring: 12 (or more) of 14 correctly identified red/green numerical test plates constitutes a passing score.Approved: Ishihara 38-plate edition, Pseudoisochromatic Ishihara Compatible (PIPIC) 24-plate edition (Waggoner PIP24) Pseudo-Isochromatic Plates (PIP) are considered a primary test of color vision.Waivers have been granted for Aeromedical and other Class II aircrew applicants on a case-by-case basis.ĭesignated: Waivers for designated personnel with a change in color vision may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Certain non-aircrew positions require adequate color vision, including ATC, UAV, and sonar display operators (anti-sub aircraft). ![]() WAIVER: Applicants: the condition is CD and waivers are typically not considered for applicants that cannot pass the required color vision tests.

If they fail the PIP Test, they are given a computerized color vision test. Note: Color vision standards recently changed for aviation/pilots – see attached waiver guide. “Jobs and ratings that must correct to 20/20” “Jobs that do not require normal color perception” You will notice there is a limited number of jobs. For any of your patients interested in military service, but are color deficient or not correctable to 20/20, I have posted a "simplified" Navy, Coast Guard, Marine to go-by list as the featured image on this blog. ![]()
