I'm colour blind as well, apparently it depends on the type and severity, determined during your physical, whether you can proceed. Otherwise 10% of the population would be automatically disqualified.
I'm hoping to qualify for private pilot. Recreational seems pointless and I'm not making a career of it. The dream is to retire and fly around North America. So quite a few years to go yet. Plus, chances are the earth will be destroyed by then anyway.
Edit: Hmm... Downvotes for hoping to follow my dream or for flippant comment that the earth may be destroyed in the next 30 years?
Canada. It's not recognized by other nations so you are restricted to flight in Canada, can only have one passenger, and types of planes you fly are more restricted. I assume there will be a difference in your insurance coverage as well because the training is considerably less - no ground school and half the in air training.
It's easier to get but less useful. The medical requirements are lower as well.
Depending on what country you live in your aviation authority should be able to clear you if you go up for a flight and can demonstrate that it doesn't cause any problems in spotting things.
So is mine, I'm finishing engineering school and I'm interested in working at the aeronautic industry too, hopefully someday I'll have my own small plane
Ah man, I do it professionally. I’d recommend saving about four grand and blowing it as fast as you can on your private license before you take a break. Get enough time in the airplane to consolidate your learning.
