  1. No, you can not be a pilot in any branch if you have any color blindness. You need to be able to distinguish the runway lights and your targets.  


  2. No you will not be able to become a pilot because perfect color vision is required to manipulate all the complex cockpit instruments correctly and see the warn and signal signs for aviation.

  3. no i saw it in a movie im pretty sure its tru tho

  4. No. Well my dad wanted to be a pilot also when he was in the military, but he couldn't because of his color blindness. He told me that he couldn't tell the difference between cords or something like that. I'm not exactly sure if that was it, but something around those lines.  

  5. No, you need full color vision to be an air force pilot.  The FAA makes it pretty tough for a color blind person to get a pilot's license just for civilian use.  The reason is that a pilot will likely need to differentiate between those two colors at some point, either on the instrument cluster or on the ground.

  6. Usually, it is the first requirement. Normal or perfect color vision.

    If you cannot pass this first requirement, why ask for others.
