FAA Color Vision Test changes for Student pilots

FAA Color Vision testing Policy change Effective Jan 1, 2025, for new student pilots only.

All other certificated pilots- nothing required

FAA will only accept computerized color vision tests. .

This is a one-time test for new students only. IF you have passed FAA acceptable CVT prior to 1/1/2025 or have a SODA, no further CVT is ever required. (rare exception is new medications like Accutane use)

At this time I am offering the Waggoner online CVT

​

I can’t accept any of the free online tests at this time. This is how Dr Sambell is handling the change. Other AME offices procedures may be different.

Sorry for the extra work and cost ! FAA policy change
