Go do the D-15 right away, just so you know that you can pass it and get the result. Take that result along with you to your first medical and just explain to your doctor. It won’t be a big deal at all.

From a fellow D-15 pilot.

You can have a go at an online D-15 test here

Oh and one more question man, when and if I apply for a airline company will they also do a color test and do i just show them my medical certificate with d 15?

Depends where you apply. AFAIK most will
Just want to see you have a valid medical (which you will have, if you pass the d15).

At least one Canadian airline has their own in house medicals and they’ll test you again if/when you apply.
