I have had many adventures on the way back from the pub, however I have only ever been truly lost when I couldnt find my mum in the supermarket, and then pinched a young ladies ars* thinking it would be funny. She didnt slap me though, I was only 5. Last time I tried that I did get a slap 🙁

Are you sure it isnt a Woogle Gack?

How many of you had to look at what I just wrote twice in order to understand what I meant (and for the really dumb ones, how many had to look three times?)

I’d love to come but im flying that day im afraid :p Chances are it will be canceled but it will be too late by the time I find out if it is or not (weather is always rubbish down here in sunny Devon)

I want some!!!

This has been taken from the CAA Class 1 Medical web page for visual examinations:

“JAR Class 1
The initial refractive error (correction) limit is +5/-5 dioptres, but this becomes +5/-8 for renewal/revalidation. The astigmatism (distortion) and anisometropia (difference between the eyes) initial limits are 2 dioptres, but are 3 dioptres for renewal/revalidation.”

So if you are long sighted then no matter what you cannot exceed +5.00 diopters, but if you are short sighted then after youre initial (in which youre eyesight has to be -5.00 or better), you can go all the way down to -8.00!! I am going for my class 1 medical soon, even though I am only 16. This is because my eyesight is currently -4.5, so I need to have my initial before it gets any worse!!

If some some reason I couldnt become a pilot then I would like to go into ATC. But preferably pilot!! Also, with the medicals, is it -5.00 diopters or better ONLY on the initial examination and then after that they can get worse?? That was what I had heard.
