The FAA Operational Color Vision Test (OCVT) and Color Vision Medical Flight Test (MFT)

This video describes my experience taking the FAA Operational Color Vision Test (OCVT) and Color Vision Medical Flight Test (MFT) and the process that I had to go through in order to remove the “not valid for night flying or by color signal control” limitation listed on my First Class Medical Certificate due to a failed color test at my appointment with the Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) to obtain a medical certificate.

The goal of my video is to consolidate all of the information I had to gather in order to learn what to expect from the tests I had to take. Below are some links to help you...
