First result in google for "air traffic controller training"

https://www.faa.gov/air-traffic-controller-qualifications

Edit: I didn't take a stance on this topic, if you think I did, you are incorrect. I was simply linking the website that outlines the requirements instead of postulating as to what they were.



You didn't say exactly what you believe, but I think you are mistaken if you are claiming that the FAA requires _uncorrected_ 20:20 vision as a qualification.

"With FAA order 3930.3B ATC vision standards were made similar to airman standards. With or without correction air traffic controllers must demonstrate 20/20 distant vision in each eye separately, 20/40 in each eye at 16 inches near vision, and 20/40 in each eye at 32 inches intermediate vision if they are 50 years of age or older. Glasses or contact lenses are permitted."

I made no claims at all, I linked reference material.


AIUI that requirement can be met with vision corrected to 20/20 by glasses.

What are you on about? I was trying to aid the discussion of "requirements to be an ATC" and you're pissed I don't give a fuck about what those requirements are? Don't have strong opinions on them? What the fuck?

I don't give a fuck, and have ZERO opinions on them.
