    Eyesight requirements for getting your PPL? One bad eye, one great eye..

    In regards to the SMFT LOA you mentioned.. also noted as “Checkride”. Is that like your normal checkride at the end of you flight school? If so then to get to that point to see if I get authorization I’d have to spend all the money for training just to possibly get turned down..

    Is 1-2 days a week enough for flight school?

    Thank you!! That was my thought when starting school. Pay what I have at about 60% cost of total hours. Then just save as I fly and who knows, I might not need extra training if I’m studying 2 hours every night and know I’ve got things nailed. Given I’ve got my 40 mandatory hours...

    Is 1-2 days a week enough for flight school?

    Do you think starting off by me paying half of it up front makes sense? Like get my first 25 hours pre-paid. Then pay as I go afterwards? or just wait and save the full price for the 40 hours, and if extra training is needed possibly pay that as needed. Thanks for the comment Ryan!

    It is uncorrected. Mainly because it can't be corrected. My brain Favorited my left eye growing up so my right eye doesn't fully focus. So there's no increasing it with correction.

    Eyesight requirements for getting your PPL? One bad eye, one great eye..

    So my best chance is to search and find an AME to contact regarding monocular vision, and then if he has a track record with Monocular submissions schedule my FAA exam with him. If passed, then i'm free to pursue my path and study hard!
