Can I become a pilot if I'm partially color blind?

• Will a color deficit prevent me from becoming a pilot?Good color vision is important for recognizing various lights and signals important to a pilot, especially at night. In the United States, the FAA requires all pilots to have 'the ability to perceive those colors necessary for the safe performance of airman duties.

I think being color blind automatically means you can't be a pilot.Witchking111111

I just took a test and I'm colorblind. I can't perceive certain variations of orange/brown.

If you see a 5, you're colorblind.

I just took a quest and I'm colorblind. I can't perceive certain variations of orange/brown.

You're going to scare a LOT of people with that claim.

I thought it was always if you don't see the number, you're colorblind.Witchking111111

Not in this case. No mistake, if you see the 5 within 3 seconds, you're supposedly color blind.

So if I am able to see the colors that are neccesary to becoming a pilot but cant see others, will I still be able to become a pilot? Im pretty sure that the only color I really cant see is beige.khuz

I'm pretty sure I heard you have to have 20/20 vision, with no sight problems throught your life.

Hey you are flying things in the 9 digit column!

Some girl told me that girls lack a chromosone that immunes them from color blindness.

I thought to be a pilot you needed 20/20 vision?

There's different methods of doing this. If you can't tell the difference between the colors that make up the 5, then you are colorblind. Do you see the 5? Neither of my parents nor my brother saw the 5. I saw it. If you see the 5, take other tests. You'll discover that you're color blind (atleast to a degree).

When I did my test, I did it in the "dark" and I was exhausted. I doubt you will be subject to the same rigours as a civi

Yea I just looked at it for a while and went "So what am I supposed to be seeing here?", read the text the poster posted, and went "ohhhhh"

I saw the 5, not readily, but I saw it. I took every other test I could find. Every single slide said I was NOT colorblind.

That single example is the only degree to which I may be colorblind, but in any case, what you said ("take other tests ... you'll discover that you're colorblind") is wrong. :|
