NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Based on the results of the research requested in Safety Recommendation A-04-46, develop a standard battery of tests to be performed at least once on each applicant for a Class 1 or 2 medical certificate that would prevent applicants with color vision deficiencies that could impair their ability to perform color-related critical aviation tasks from being certificated without limitations.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to create a standard battery of color vision tests, to be given at least once to each applicant for a Class 1 or 2 medical certificate, that would prevent certification without limitations for those whose deficiencies could impair performance of color-related critical aviation tasks. This request is based on research previously requested in Safety Recommendation A-04-46.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
