<p><strong> </strong></p><p>This Government is committed to ensuring that no one who
is safe to fly commercial aircraft is barred from doing so. Regarding colour vision
regulations, this means being able to assess the extent of colour vision deficiency
accurately, and calibrating requirements to maintain safety standards without unnecessarily
penalising those with relatively mild colour vision deficiency. The CAA’s view as
regulator is that the Colour Assessment and Diagnosis (CAD) test currently used provides
the most accurate and reproducible assessment of an applicant’s class of colour vision.
It would therefore not be appropriate to offer a wider range of tests, as the CAD
is suitable to the safety requirements of UK aviation.</p><p> </p>
