====== Color vision testing for Pilots ======
  * There is a 2 or 3 part (depending on pilot class) functional test performed at Flight Standards District Offices.
  * Everyone must take and pass an OCVT (occupational color vision test) consisting of chart reading and a signal light test.  
  * For Class 1 and 2, a Medical Flight Test is required.  This test requires going up in a plane with a Flight Standards Inspector who will takes the pilot through specific testing. 
  * The pilot only gets one shot to take these tests, if they fail any part, they will have a permanent restriction on their flight certificate that limits them to only flying during daylight hours.
