New FAA Requirement: Waggoner computerized color vision test (WCCVT)
The FAA now requires Waggoner computerized color vision test (WCCVT) for aviation medical exams. This updated screening process:
• Detects both yellow/blue and red/green deficiencies
• Reduces inconsistencies found in older vision test plates
• Ensures more accurate results for pilots
If you need a Waggoner computerized color vision test (WCCVT) as part of your FAA medical exam, Dr. Fowler’s office provides affordable, FAA-approved testing to help you meet the new standards.
