Well I have R/G color blindness, hard to pass the Ishihara, very slight issues on the Farnsworth lantern, I still can see the colors and even will try to go to the ATC tower light gun test. I wanna get a 1st class, be an airline pilot. Will this be possible sir? If I fail the 1st can I still get a 2/3?

( my left eye might be 20/30 and my right 2020. This is corrected and i can see VERY far ( my prescription is for near vision like 2 inches from my face.

I did, yes for this lesson and most others used these slide shows. A few other lessons I used paper lesson plan and whiteboard and model airplane. The maneuvers for example

You have a good chance of becoming a commercial pilot. Commercial pilot can hold all 3 classes of medicals. It all depends on what you want to do. Contact your local FSDO and let them know your concerns. The SODA is free other than the plane cost.

Yeah the SODA says on it “authorized for 1st class medical” so when the paperwork is sent in to the FAA the federal air surgeon reviews it and will make the final decision and they send a letter in the mail

@@jboyee01 thanks alot!

Yes of course. It’s a checkride to show the DPE how well you can teach. And the majority of that comes down to preparation. Find lots of resources. It can be pictures, video, slideshows, use of a whiteboard ect. use them and show the DPE you came prepared to teach each lesson with a outline you can follow during each one. They will give you some time to set things up and prepare materials before each lesson. Good luck!

Yeah they just watch you so you need to show them you can fly safely. I waited until I had my private pilot certificate until I did the test

Oh man I know I’ve been MIA, working for a while I’ll try to get something new soon!!

​@@jboyee01 Hey Jason hope you doing great , i actually working on my cfi is there is anyway you help help me by sharing these powerpoints will help alot thaanks Jason

You should ask an FAA medical professional for that kinda stuff, they generally know best.

how's it going?

It went very good I got my CFI and have since got CFII add on as well. Thanks for watching the video I need to add some more to my channel soon

@@jboyee01 Congrats man! My CFI Checkride is April 30th. Preparing early! Finished up my Lesson Plans last week now just practicing teaching.

@@chandlerhoyle754 that is awesome best of luck to you. My best advice would be, just stick to your lesson plans entirely. don’t deviate or try to wing it on anything. I presented my slide shows to the dpe just like I did in my videos, and answered the few of their questions here and there. Honestly didn’t think it was that bad.. just long! good luck!!

Congratulations. Can we take a laptop and present to DPE if we do not have access to a monitor ?

@@aryank2000 Yes, Absolutely!

Hey thanks! I’m glad they have helped you out. I’ve been slacking at posting but plan to do some more videos soon. Wish you the best of luck on your check ride. I passed the oral to my cfii just need to finish the flight once the weather decides to cooperate!

Shaw lenses, sorry. I was using voice to text and forgot to proofread, since I'm at work.

Awesome yeah I have not heard of them I’m going to have to look them up! Thanks for the positive feedback!

@@johnmadden9115 I just saw your Instagram message, and responded there!

Guys I'm hitting lots of dead ends and was hoping Jason and some other pilots here could help. I too have an amblyopia condition. Even though my condition is stable since childhood and they originally let me have a third class medical when I got my private, my recent medical recertification application was revoked by the federal flight surgeon. I wrote back when I turned in my medical certificate asking for an appointment with the local FSDO for a medical flight test. It's been over a month and I haven't heard back. The FSDO told me to contact the national office by phone, and I can't get through to them "due to high call volume". Does anyone know what I need to send and to whom to get the ball rolling on this? I don't want to wait forever only to find out I'm missing a form or something. My AME and flight instructor have no clue about this process. They referred me to another AME, and I didn't hear back from him either. I also contacted my ophthalmologist about Shaw Lenses. Even though they're listed as a Shaw vendor, they had never heard of them, and couldn't get through to them due to difficulties they're having apparently with the pandemic and the supply chain. Does anyone have contact information for a doctor or somebody who works with Shaw they could pass along? Is there are another lens provider that makes something similar? Any help you guys would be hugely helpful. Being able to see and fly again, it would mean the world. Reply here or email. I'm easy to look up on google as I think TH-cam just deletes links and email addresses here.

​@@skiptalbot sorry for the delay in responding, and I don't think I'll be of much help, however. My best advice is to go speak to whoever you saw for your medical, or another local FME who will help you directly contact your regional Flight Surgeon, as well as your regional FAA office. My revocation was quickly handled by the Nashua FAA office, and if you're in New England, Dr. James Alban in Falmouth, MA is an exemplary FME who along with his secretary, will go out of their way to pester the local (regional) offices until they get some sort of response, or answer. I was initially declined, and they sent back a packet to have filled out by a more licensed optometrist than the FME, and that in depth exam sheet was all they needed in my case for my class 3, and they said once I have my private, in my own time while doing my commercial training, I can schedule the Regional Surgeon to come do an evaluation flight for a SODA that would permanently remove my amblyopic eye from being an issue, despite being at standards currently, as it may eventually decline.

CarlosLaraLife you definitely want to make sure you’ll be able to get (at least) a 3rd class medical certificate before spending a lot of time and money on flight lessons. Start by doing a bit of research on 3rd class medical qualifications in the Federal Aviation Regulations part 67. Then I suggest seeing your regular doctor for a check-up and let them know your plans to get a faa medical. Once you’re sure you’ll be able to pass the exam to get the medical cert, Then schedule an appointment with an AME to get your FAA medical. If there’s something that won’t meet the standards, they will defer your medical and then you can go about working on getting a SODA

Jason Saunders really appreciate your response!!! Thank you!

@@jboyee01 So then, this test was done prior to your training? Meaning: FAA medical (which I have done) -> identify issue (for me it's monocular vision) -> have form 8500-7 filled out by eye doctor (which I have done) ->contact FSDO to set up flight test -> meet up and fly on a rented plane ->hopefully get the SODA -> become medically cleared -> start flight training. Is this correct?

​@@ivanh3 I held a 3rd class medical and completed private pilot certificate before getting the SODA. You wouldn't be able to show your ability to fly the airplane without receiving any training. if you can get the 3rd class and complete private pilot first that would be the way to go. Then, apply for the SODA and 1st class medical when the time comes that you need one. (i wanted to make sure i could hold a 1st class before doing anything past private pilot)

@@jboyee01 Thanks for the response! I actually start lessons in one week, weather permitting. I think since I am monocular, I would still need a SODA even for a third class physical.

Thank you! Sorry I haven’t posted anything new recently I did get my CFI certificate in May now working on double I So I’ll try to post some more content soon! I’d be happy to send you something

Thank you! I got my CFI certificate at the end of May. Now trying to get my CFII finished. Wish you best of luck too
