Answer
Requirements typically include:
- Normal colour vision, verified through standardised testing
- Visual acuity correctable to 20/20 (6/6), with or without glasses or contact lenses
- Normal hearing, confirmed through audiometric testing across a defined frequency range
Both vision and hearing must be sufficient to ensure clear perception of visual displays, aircraft movements, and radio communication.
