At Flight Standards, we recognize that discovering a color vision deficiency can significantly impact an aspiring pilot’s career ambitions. That’s why we offer essential services through our in-house examiner, who provides the Australian Operational Colour Vision Assessment (AOCVA) across Australia. This ensures that pilots can effectively demonstrate their ability to interpret crucial color-coded visual cues in the cockpit.
The AOCVA flight test evaluates how congenital color vision deficiencies affect your operational capabilities. Passing this test confirms that you meet the medical standards required for a Class 1 or Class 2 aviation medical certificate without restrictions. If you don’t meet the standard, we will guide you through obtaining a restricted medical certificate.
The AOCVA comprises three mandatory components: ground assessments, flight components (general), and PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) evaluations. Each component is crafted to ensure you can recognize and interpret vital visual signals in various conditions. Our examiner is certified to conduct these tests independently, guaranteeing a thorough and professional experience.
Flight Standards’ in-house examiner is available to travel throughout Australia, subject to availability, offering flexibility and convenience for pilots seeking this essential qualification. Whether you’re preparing for an aviation career or advancing your skills, we are dedicated to supporting your journey. With our expertise, you’ll build the confidence and competence needed to excel in your aviation career. Contact us today to learn how we can assist you with your operational color vision assessment!
