RAF Aircrew Eyesight requirements
For all those budding aircrew among us, please find attached the eyesight requirements found on google this morn.
They were released April 2015.
(edited 9 years ago)
HOWEVER,
massive pinch of salt needed with this as they only tell part of the story.
Your colour vision, lens reaction and a few other metrics are also required and these can ONLY be done by opticians.
They only people who can say whether or not you're fit for service is the medical board of the service you're applying for.

The Eyesight Requirements depends on what jobs you want to do in the RAF ( I.E Eyesight requirements for a pilot will be higher than a Personnel Officer or a job in the RAF Regiment

Could be worth editing the title to reflect that's aircrew standards, rather than generic RAF standards?

In all fairness the OP does say that in the body of the post, but good idea anyway...

Amen bro
@Drewski,
You are quite right, apologies the title wasn't clearer.
@hazzer1998 - I simply typed in Google 'Royal Air Force eyesight requirements' and a PDF form popped up second or third link from the top.

Bumping this thread; Just curious, does anyone know if the reference range for Cyl have to be within the figures given, or is it just a guide? It doesn't say min/max like the visual acuity does. I'm 6/6 uncorrected, 6/4 corrected, but my Cyl for one eye is on the border. Currently in the process of my application
