I have a gentleman wishing to become a student pilot. In one eye he has corrected vision of 20/20, but in the other, it's 20/200. The AME guide says "ITEMS 31-34. Eye
4. An applicant will be considered monocular when there is only one eye or when the best corrected distant visual acuity in the poorer eye is no better than 20/200. An individual with one eye, or effective visual acuity equivalent to monocular, may be considered for medical certification, any class, through the special issuance section of part 67 (14 CFR 67.401)."
If I'm reading this properly, it appears to me that he is eligible for an SI. Any suggestion on a next step for him?
