Answer 1

Answer 2

Yes and no. For the military, no I do not belive so. Sorry. However, if you want to simply be a pilot, most certainly! My father is a pilot and doctor, and owns a small airplane, and he is color-blind. I am also color-blind, and I wanted to, I could get a pilots liscence as well.

There are also lots of airplane and helecopter simulations out there, and most have the option of a military plane. I know that my dad trains pilots in a full motion simulator, witch is so real that you could never even notice that you weren't actually in an airplane! So, my advice would be to try out something like that. Good Luck!

Answer 3

you may get a license fly in case you're colour blind. yet get this! you would be unable to get an A&P certification to artwork on them! in case you fly, you ain't gonna do lots of your guy or woman maintenance. it may be unlawful. i be attentive to that lots from college. And so a good distance as being colour blind, peoplecontinual with colour blindness. consequently maximum places have the lights fixtures for the site visitors alerts set up interior the comparable development. colour do not remember as long as you be attentive to which easy is vivid in what area. you have gotten some difficulty with commercial. whether you get the license by passing all the better assessments, the agencies might have coverage regulations which will restrict them from providing you with employment. as an occasion, a truck driving force might have a sort "A" license, yet have a DUI conviction on his checklist. He cancontinual, yet in basic terms for a organisation it rather is self-insured, or has a manage the coverage organisation. Too many attorneys in the present day. Litigation everywhere. have been given to observe your doorstep before you spend enormous dough on some thing you would be unable to apply the way you decide on.

Answer 4

NO. absolutely not. (at least not in the military) im sorry.

army aviator: 'Normal depth perception and color vision is required'

navy/marine corps aviator: 'Normal color vision is required for both NFOs and pilots. Normal depth perception is required for pilots and pilot applicants.'

check out this page:

WITH CIVILIANS: yes! ... sort of...
'Restrictions may be placed upon a medical certificate to mitigate any concern for safety. For instance, color-blind pilots are typically issued a restriction reading, "NOT VALID FOR NIGHT FLIGHT OR BY COLOR SIGNAL CONTROL." This mitigates the concern that color-blind pilots may not be able to identify those colors required for the performance of safe airman duties by preventing situations that are considered potentially unsafe.

In many cases, these restrictions can be removed through a "Statement of Demonstrated Ability" (SODA), or a "Letter of Evidence" from the FAA indicating that the pilot's deficiency is of no concern.'
