The simplest and most accurate
alternative test is the Farnsworth
lantern (FALANT) test. This is the
preferable test to the other option, the
color signal light test, because FAA
authorization is not required to take the
test. If you pass the Farnsworth, an
unrestricted amended certificate is
issued by the FAA, along with a letter
documenting that you've satisfied the
color vision standards. You do not have
to take another color vision test at the
AME's office.
