Possible cure for colourblindness found

Not getting into the side issues of if it is safe (or not, as CASA seems to be pushing for), but this could possibly remove the issue entirely.
While many enjoy activities where they challenge themselves to their physical limit, I prefer to do the same thing with my mind. That’s why I go on BladeSlapper, to be around other people who also enjoy being mentally challenged.

At the risk of stating the obvious. I don't believe casa ever put forward a valid argument to say that pilots with CVD are unsafe

CVD or colour blindness ... Just make it a requirement to fly on NVGs ... only need to be able to see shades of green! (and CASA is OK with that)
