Question

To become a pilot do you have to have perfect vision(20/20)?

Answer 1

No.  All of the requirements for vision and other medical standards can be found in the current FAR/AIM, but the short answer is you need 20/40 or better, either corrected or uncorrected for a third class medical, and 20/20 or better either corrected or uncorrected for a second or first class medical.

Also, there is no such thing as perfect vision.  20/20 is normal vision.  Some people have worse vision, some better.

Answer 2

I would hope so!

just like you can't be colour blind... the rules seem strict

Answer 3

yes you need 20/20 vision either corrected or uncorrected. This question is a question that's asked 10x a day.

Answer 4

It only has to be correctable to 20/20

Good Luck
