Yeah, and my first thought was dude, he can still fly for the Navy since they use the FALANT.

FALANT colorvision test for pilots

Uh...I missed 5 of the plates when I tested but the card he couldn't read in the movie was like the basic dark green number in a red background. If you couldn't read that, I don't think you'd pass the FALANT. That was probably the easiest Ishihara plate there is.
Ok. Because I've been accused of integrity issues by a member of this forum (also a member of the Airforce
) First I had to laugh, then I thought I would clarify. The ishihara plates are not classified documents, and can be obtained easily at a public library or on the internet. So....if I were a person that had some challenges with passing the color blind test....I would get a copy and prepare myself for the test.
Sometimes I just have to laugh....

No worries. There are a handful on this website who are quite eager to twist your words and assume you have no integrity. Ignore them. If you're colorblind, looking at the plates beforehand won't help. But when a guy is flipping the plates and you are nervous, even a normal sighted person can miss them. The plates are easily accessible by anyone and it is not an integrity issue to look at them beforehand. When they test you they do it under a strange blue light to keep neutral lighting so you can't really replicate the entire test anyway.

Figures!
Hi guys, I just found this forum, and it seems Im the one not so lucky who see red and green lights without any problems.
Look at this - http://www.caleyecare.org/images/Falantindarkcolors1.jpg
For me its looking like - upper - white / lower - white
My question is primary for bunk22, who had a lots of tests behind him, - is the real FALANT test at least a little different from this image or Im "Realy" red - green blind?
I will appreciate every reply

That's what the machine looks like but thats also just a picture. Don't worry about some pic on the net. If you or anyone else is really worried, try finding an eye doc or even better, an optometry school that has the FALANT and take it. I know theres a big optometry school in Anaheim, CA (or at least used to be). They probably have every type of color vision test out there.
Ya I wouldn't worry about some pic on the net. When you take the test, if you can see color, you will know the diff between the three colors. With different intensities and image quality it is impossible to tell what a color is. If the shutter was open too long a red light could expose too long into a bright "white".
Don't sweat the small stuff.

Looks like upper - green / lower - red to me. But it is a pretty crappy picture.
Thanks for reply guys, yep, most people say this, but for me its hard to recognize it from this picture.
Anyway, I hope when I come to real FALANT test after this spring school leaving exams, I will see colors like on my second picture

Two questions: Is there a possibility that someone cannot see MOST of the numbers on a PIP test but be able to pass the FALANT? Last time I took the PIP test, over a year ago, I remember not doing well at all...
Also, what are some common places that would have the FALANT other than MEPS?

Many people can not pass the PIP and pass the FALANT, but not all. You can usually google all the medical examiners for civilian student pilot certificates and start calling around and ask if they have a Farnsworth Lantern. There is a place here in Phoenix that makes big bucks off it cause (and I know this from experience) writing to Kansas just to get permission to talk to your local FDO sucks.

Does anyone know where to find a FALANT, other than at a MEPS? Is there some sort of search website I could go to? These things seem as rare as extinct animals.
