I'm 28 and from the UK. And last week I failed my CAD test which was heart-breaking as I very much want to be a commercial pilot.
Basically my farther is a pilot for Virgin Atlantic and Iv always wanted in follow in his footsteps career wise.
I have been solo in a glider and racked up many flying hours so I would say I'm no stranger to flying.
I first discovered I was colour blind at 17 when I did my first aviation medical and it was news to me as I had no idea! Like many of you I guess it really doesn't affect you in day to day life, and over the course of my life the only thing I have ever struggled with are the tests themselves!
I find so very frustrating that I'm am being kept out of an awesome career for this simple reason.
I would love to support this association in any way I can as I really want to be able to fly for a living.
I can see there isn't any further update on the EASA review and even if this is positive would the CAA change their regulations?
Im trying not to get my hopes us, but is there light at the end of the tunnel?
