Answer 1

Regardless of whether you can or not in SG, you might wanna know about the sad fate of Flight 1478 and it's color-deficient PNF, who did not properly interpret the PAPI.

Answer 2

Color blindness WILL keep you from passing a physical in ANY COUNTRY for ANY class of license.

Answer 3

ill hafta agree you wont be able to get any kind of rating being color blind as it is a very important thing to have.  think about all the coloredd lights on the edge of a runway you may mistake the taxi way for the runway or vice versa.  I dont think you will be able to fly for the military either.  Aircraft mechanics make good money as well but as for flying?? good luck

Answer 4

Yes you can get a SODA I don't know what these numb nutts above me are talking about I am colorblind and have been flying for 9 years on my soda. I am a a flight officer in the USAF and I am red green color blind. (you only have to get the soda 1 time and its good for life)

Don't know about Singapore, if not go elsewhere and get your ratings,
