Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Advances in medical technology, aviation technology, and operational procedures have created a rapidly changing background against which assessment of fitness to fly must be made. The current paper examines such changes in relation to the colour perception standard. The necessity for adequate colour perception in the modern aviation environment is reviewed and a rational sequence of tests to define aviation safe colour perception is proposed.
