| May 12, 2021 at 19:00 | comment | added | Michael Hall | Good grief, I understand what "night vision" is, but you do understand that what I mean by binary don't you? A person's ability to see at night is likely to vary between individuals, and can even vary from night to night depending on many factors such as rest, nutrition, hydration, and oxygen levels. O2 levels especially affect night vision, it is noticeable and immediate!! | |
| May 12, 2021 at 18:52 | comment | added | Abdullah is not an Amalekite | @MichealHall ouch. Night vision = the normal ability to adjust to low light conditions, such as when outside at might | |
| May 12, 2021 at 18:49 | comment | added | Michael Hall | @Abdullah, Yes, I see that. So, if a pilot has no vision during the period of time defined as "night" per regulations, how would they even see the instruments? I am being facetious to make a point here, that point being that you haven't defined "night vision" in any quantifiable terms. The degree to which someone with degraded vision of any sort may or may not function safely, and may or may not qualify for a medical certificate can only be determined by a qualified doctor. Again, there is a wide array of possible conditions and standards, so the question is overly broad and simplistic. | |

| May 12, 2021 at 17:22 | comment | added | Michael Hall | Adding to Mike S's comment and Ymb1's answer, "night vision" isn't a binary condition. (i.e. either you have it or you don't...) Your ability to discern runway lights and other things is certainly important, but the degree to which you are able to meet applicable standards could vary depending on class of medical certificate, as well as country. I think the question is overly broad... | |

| May 12, 2021 at 14:06 | comment | added | Mike Sowsun | “Night blindness” itself is a symptom of a number of common vision problems rather than a condition in and of itself. Some of those conditions are: Cataracts, Myopia, Glaucoma, Vitamin A deficiency, Retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome. vsp.com/eyewear-wellness/ask-eye-doctor/night-blindness | |
| May 12, 2021 at 13:57 | comment | added | Abdullah is not an Amalekite | @MikeSowsun How would it be compromised in the day? | |
| May 12, 2021 at 13:54 | comment | added | Mike Sowsun | If your vision is so bad that you can not see at night, then it would also be compromised during the day, and you could not hold a medical certificate. This question should be closed. | |
| May 12, 2021 at 12:35 | comment | added | StephenS | Are there people with “no night vision” as a permanent condition? I’ve never heard of that, but if so, I’d expect it to be handled by a limitation on their medical certificate. | |

Add missing words. Correct spelling. (It would be good if a [vision] tag were added too.)
