Is it a f***ing secret or something?!?!

[UA-RESURRECTED]

For the life of me, I cannot find the list of color-vision tests the FAA will accept. I know there are quite a few. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Good luck finding any of these alternative tests, though. Your best bet is to go to a university optometry clinic. They are more likely to have a wide range of tests. I contacted Ohio State and they said they offered the Farnsworth Lantern and Dvorine 2nd edition. I found a Dvorine test booklet in a college library and was able to see far more of the test numbers than I could in the standard Ischihara.

I later came to find out, however, that because I passed the signal light gun tests several years ago, I don't have to test for colorvision in the future when I go to get my med. They gave me a letter of demonstrated ability, or something along those lines.

Good luck!

Thank you. The only reason I'm holding off on the light-gun test, is because apparently you get a brand-new medical by taking an alternate test.

20/20 Line= DEFPOTEC

Not sure about the color chart, though.

Huh? Brand new medical?

Don't know about the light gun, but if you get alternate color vision testing done, you can get it documented and send to the FAA for a 'Letter of Competency' or 'Letter of Proficiency.' You can show that letter to your AME and it gets you out of the color vision portion of any future FAA medical exams.

Work good, last long time.
