Hearing
2.28                                                 Is not suffering from any safety‑relevant hearing defect

2.30                                                 For somebody who fails to meet the standard in item 2.29, passes an operational check by an approved person in an aircraft having a similar ambient noise level to that in which the person is or will be operationally involved
Visual requirements
2.31                                                 Eyes and their adnexae function normally
2.32                                                 Is not suffering from any safety‑relevant pathological condition (either acute or chronic), nor any sequelae of surgery or trauma
2.33                                                 Has normal fields of vision
2.34                                                 Has normal binocular vision
2.35                                                 Has a distant visual acuity of 6/12 or better in each eye separately and 6/9 or better binocular (with or without correcting lenses)
2.36                                                 Can read (with or without correcting lenses) an N5 chart (or its equivalent) binocularly at a distance that he or she selects (in the range of 30 to 50 centimetres), and can read an N14 chart binocularly (with or without correcting lenses) at a distance of 1 metre
                                                     Note: A person who needs correcting lenses to meet this criterion must have the appropriate lenses available while carrying out duties under a relevant licence—see regulation 67.200.

                                                     (b) if the lenses are of the hard or gas‑permeable variety, demonstrates the ability, immediately after removing the lenses, to read at least 6/9 with spectacles binocularly
Colour perception
2.39                                                 Can readily distinguish the colours that need to be distinguished for the safe exercise of privileges, or performance of duties, under the relevant licence
                                                     Note: For how to demonstrate this, see subregulation 67.155(6).
