Ok before any of you say, ive done a search and googled it and cant find an answer![]()
Are the eyesight requirements for a navigator the same as pilots? I know that in the second world war this was the case, but is that still relevant today?
Cheers for the answers![]()

You should should just give your local recruitment office (number will be in the yellow pages) a call and they will be more than happy to answer you're questions and you dont need to give them your name or anything so they want shout at you if you ask any stupid questions -

Your're killing me
Ive tried numerous search terms, tried searching with navigator in there...nothing. The closest i can get is finding the requirements for a wso...but in the RSAF, the royal singapore air force
Care to spill the beans? -

*sigh* WSOs need 6/24 uncorrected correctable to 6/6 without going over some power limit I temporarily forget.

Heya,
Not to hijack the thread or anything, but got a question regarding WSO.
I'm currently filling out my application form for the RAF; hoping to get a university bursary, and enter after university as an officer pilot. However, as many of you probably know, there is a 1st choice and 2nd preference to be made. Is it, as I think, better to make your second choice one that requires a generally lower aptitude test result, on average? So, it's almost like the insurance option you put on a UCAS university entry form?
Ideally, if I was to fail pilot, I'd like WSO - despite declining numbers of recruited WSO's. However, are the scores required practically the same? I guess I just assumed they are, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any advice,
andy. -

We don't recruit "aeronautical engineers."
On the officer side, you can work in aerosystems or communications & electronics; AS or CE. Airmen are split into different trades such as airframes, propulsion, avionics etc.
