The ATC Hiring Interview

prishtinatco:
Humans see RGB (red green blue). Mainly the problem is with RED. Ishiarah test is the one applie with the plates but there should be an available laser test performed.

atcman23:
The Ishihara PIP test is an acceptable test, but for controllets, they use the Dvorine PIP test.  There are no tests with lasers, and the only thing close to that would be the Farnsworth Lantern test, which is classified as an "Acceptable Substitution" for the Ishihara or Dvorine PIP tests but I've never seen it used.

Here's a list of all color vision tests the FAA will accept: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/app_process/exam_tech/item52/et/
