I just found out I'm colourblind. The diagnosis came completely out of the purple.
😂
😂my humor is definitely broken
Lol! That's a good one. I too am color-blind. I found that out when I was a kid and went shopping for some Levis Jeans. They ended up being Pink; I thought they were beige. My life has been a challenge. So - I have a restriction from flying at night.
My humour is never dry, particularly the aqueous humour. 😂
Even we know we are healthy, we are all scared of the CLASS I
Im colourblind so for me its even worse😭
@@arthurwesterhof4323 How is that coming along two years later? I am colorblind as well and wish to obtain my first class medical
@@Ronin737 oh for me it's pretty boring I, had the dream to become pilot and still do. But because of the colourblindness I just kinda gave up on it, because I had other things I like just as much, without the barriers that my colourblindness imposes. I am going to study geophysics next year and I am really looking forward to it, I really hope for you that you'll get through medical 1 and go after your dream of being a pilot! Don't let your colourblindness stop you like it did stop me! ;)
The best pilot E-book from
Michelle Gooris!!!!!
Very informative. Hope your keeping safe during these tough times
Thank You! I was just thinking about medicals a lot this week and you made things much clearer for me
You, captain Joe and other few amazing people have inspired me to become a pilot. Thank you for taking the time to make incredible content
Thats so nice to hear, thank you! All the best with your training!

@@moonwalker494 u forgot her😬😬
Your videos are very informative for those that want to become a pilot. I’m not a pilot but do work in the industry.
Another thing I’ve learned from your videos is that you are not just a pilot but a great businesswomen!
Very informative info about medical and DAME tests, as always Michelle, you are one of the best channels explaining in details aviation related matters 😊😊👍👍👏👏
I love the last 5 minutes. We Dutch have these tongue twisters and somehow have a hard time to shake these. My brother that is 8 yrs. older then me still has some of them. But we had so many other virtues that it never became an issue . Thanks you for this episode.
I love you more and more each video. Really cute bloopers!
Great info. Loved the bloopers segment at the end! I found your channel by way of Mentour's interview with you.
Thanks for the video, keep these great informative videos coming.
Don't worry so much! your english is very good, even for me that just i'm a learner. Very interesting topic!
Love the out takes. Stay safe
Thanks for the preview ,it was helpful
Keep up the awesome content, Michelle!! Your pronunciation is getting better by the day :)
I was waiting for you to make it clear about the medical test and u did. Tnx very much
Michelle - I love the end of your videos and your "out takes" :) - It's cute!
Love your videos x
Miss Gooris that nail polish looks good on you. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us that enjoy your prestigous talent. It was very informative. Keep up the good work ma'am.

And you, sir, keep watching Essential Craftsman ;-)). Am I right?
A good combination, down to earth construction and a beautiful girl mastering the sky! If that does not make for a good wholesome entertainment, what will?
amazing as usual
Thanks for the interesting video and answering the question about the colours 😃
You're welcome, glad you found it interesting!
The medical requirements for entry into flying positions in the UK Armed Forces are somewhat more strict and screening more extensive than for a CAA ATPL/CPL Class 1 because the Services are looking at long term employability as well as service as a pilot. For example:
Eye muscle balance tests using a Maddox Rod are used on first entry to detect what are effectively small amounts of squint - both vertical and horizontal plane. Hypermetropia beyond stated limits is a no no owing to the likelihood in later life of lens dislocation.
EEG is performed routinely at initial entry to detect spikes that may lead to epileptiform attacks in the future.
EKG/ECG frequencies will vary depending on age.
Routine periodic and random urine testing for drugs will occur.
Because military pilots have to fit inside a limited range of aircraft using e.g., HOTAS controls, their body envelope is critical for specific aircraft. Measurements such as Buttock-Knee, Sitting Height, shoulder-finger tip all have both minima and maxima as well as variations that may exclude certain types of aircraft cockpits.
Specific medical training and testing in environments such as the "Dunker" and decompression chamber will be required for certain aircraft thus examination of lung and eustachian tube function is rather more critical than for the civilian class 1.
There are plenty of other differences should someone be thinking of getting their flight training in the armed forces and then moving to the civilian sector.

I love the bloopers!
i love your dutch accent. nice vid btw
Michelle, you are not only beautiful but very brilliant. I love when question your pronunciation of words, very cute... Keep up the good work and keep safe during these difficult times.. As always, Love from New Jersey
Lets get started...... 💨 Out takes are fun DPG... nice vid... good delivery.. Like the buttons on your shirt..... And oh yea.... Thanx for posting.... 💨
Thanks Charles!
...love your books!!!
Splendid 💖💖💖👍🏻
The medical classes in the USA are only slightly different.
FAA Basic med is the most limited and used for very casual recreational pilots, gliders and balloons, mostly in the light sport category, if you qualify for a drivers license you probably qualify for "basic med" unless you have already held an FAA medical certificate and it was suspended or revoked.
FAA 3rd class med is good for all private pilots, student pilots(even ATP students) and some flight instructing; good for 60 months if issued under age 40 and 24 months over age 40.
FAA 2nd class is needed for ATC and all operations requiring a commercial pilot certificate, it is also suitable for ATP second or third in command with a couple exceptions; good for 12 months for all ages then it reverts to third class privilege for remaining 12 or 48months(depending on age).
First class is similar to EASA class one, however it is only legally required for an ATP pilot in command, second in command of international flights with three or more pilots, and any ATP(...second, third, or fourth in command) between age 60 and 65; first class is good for 12 months under age 40 and 6 months over age 40, then it reverts to second class and finally 3rd class privileges. Most airlines require first class medical for all new pilots even for co-pilots, though they may allow existing employees that cannot renew a first class medical to continue as a co-pilot with a 2nd class medical.
thank you for sharing like this video I love it
Blijft moeilijk he die BMI 😜
Zonder gekheid, goeie video weer met heldere uitleg.
I love your accent. I understand every word.
Are you being sarcastic lol
I love her kindness and consideration to do her videos in English!!!
PS: Absolutely ADORE the way she says "Path" in English. She's better at Engoish than she may know hahahaha
That was a real tongue twister there at the end of your video!!!
Hi Michelle from New Zealand, I loved the ending of this video with you struggling with the English language. I know how you feel, my wife is a Fiji Indian, & after 26 yrs married I still have trouble understanding her at times.
I just subscribed for the outtakes ❤️

...last 30 sec. absolutely beautiful and charming. Lot of love. Keep enjoying in your work.
An class 1 medical is like an normal doctor's checkup with an few additional checks
That's my girl talking about health in these days..... Thanks.!!
I am a Type 1 diabetic for 54 years. Still in great health. Light Sport Aviation requires you to have a drivers license to fulfill medical requirement. I was considering but turned it down due to expense.
Thank you for this video, my dreams of being a pilot were shattered when I developed epilepsy. Being seizure free 20 plus years doesn't change a thing. I'll still fantasize about it though. I enjoy all your flight video's
I am not a pilot, but I have a flight simulator. It is a lot of fun without the stress of actual flying lol. Give it a shot if you have not already.
Oh man I’m so sorry
Sorry mate
@@kyroking9934 I appreciate your sincere reaction to my comment. I hope your dreams of being a pilot have been fulfilled! Take care.
@@michaelbee8263 Thank you for your thoughts, hopefully you're somewhere in the skies enjoying the dream of being a pilot!
you are the best
Good speaking
Cool Video! Really important to know because I´d like to become a pilot at WIZZ
Hahahaha, love the out-takes at the end. English and terminology can be a struggle even for those who speak english.
Interesting 👍👍🖐🖐
now I know why they call a Dutch Roll a Dutch Roll, too many Heinekens perhaps? Love your bloopers and out takes at the end of your videos.
I'm colorblind, Deuteranopia, I had to take some technical tests and thankfully I aced them.
Chuck I am also colour blind. I can’t do the tests where there are a bunch of dots and you have to find the number (isihara test) but I can easily differentiate colours in the real world perfectly. What are the technical tests like?
@@stefanmihic6153 I failed that one, too.
So, it may be different in other countries. I did 2 tests.
One was with a test with a light gun. They shot different color lights from a distance and I had to tell someone which color they were. Red, white, blue, yellow, green, magenta.
The other test was in a simulator. They wanted me to tell which color where some of the instruments or areas of the displays. Like the weather radar colors, the horizon colors and stuff like that.
Hope this helps.
Chuck this helps tremendously! I am an aspiring fighter pilot an I am 16 years old. I hope that by 2026 there are some sort of colour contact lenses like the EnChroma glasses. I have 20/20 vision and I am fit but the only problem is my colour deficiency. I’m pretty sure here in Canada they do the same thing with the light thing you were talking about and I can do that test. I’m pretty sure that the dotted one that we can’t do is to show that you are colour deficient, but the other tests are to show how strong your colour deficiency is and if you pass that you are fine.
@@stefanmihic6153 I do not know if the military is more strict about it, though. Airlines seem to be ok, afaik. Good luck!
Chuck yep thank you! And same to you.
There are so many vids I can't decide
I'm colorblind. My dream always has been to be a pilot. Now I'm a vet, but I'm an aviation enthusiast!
You can get a class 2 medical restricted to daily VFR. So you can still fly for recreation!
Reversed captain Joe
Thats rly inspiring bc i can’t either!
I’m diabetic and I know in the U.K. you are allowed to fly but yes it is very strict and you need to be able to prove that you know how to control your blood glucose levels and have a stable HBA1C.
In Canada, Class 2 is for controllers and Class 3 for PPL
My dad wanted to fly P-38's but once he was in, they found he was colorblind and that ended his flying career. He ended up as a line chief in the 31st Photo-recon squadron.
i love yur shows i hope i become like u in future i am 11 yrs
2 questions
1. Have you ever wanted to fly a fighter jet?
2. If you like music have you been to Nashville to see the Parthenon and the Mavericks? The Mavericks travel so you could have seen them in your country.
Wow theres alot to go ture before you pass too fly AMAZING
So smart and beautiful
I will like to know about a loan I can sing by my own for a flying school being young, with not credit history and no cosigner eable. My mother dint qualify for my loans but otherwise I am joing the Air Force or Army pilots in ROTC or taking the asvab.
And thank you so much for your videos they are very helpful and i like to see you growing. Also, the way you speak english helps me to get the level I want to correct my English lenguage organization.
❤
I'm told that while a BMI of 35 is the limit, if you can't egress the cabin of an airliner through a window, you can still fail even if you're below it. So it really depends what planes your prospective employer flies. Someone that is on the tall side, like 1.86m, will be over 120 kilos if their BMI is 35..! Not sure if they'd be able to squeeze through a 737 window in that case.
I went for an interview once for a job. I was sitting outside the interview room waiting for another applicant to finish his interview. The door opened and the interviewer asked me if I was colour-blind. Apparently, the person he was interviewing was finding it hard to accept that he was colour blind which prevented him having the job. I went in and read various numbers in a colour test book that the prior applicant couldn't see. He finally, had to accept that he was colour blind all his life and hadn't known it. I got the job, by the way.
Sadly I probably wouldn't pass the dot test, but I can see the colors when I watch airplane videos. I enjoy your content because you explain things quite well. Stay safe and hopefully, everyone will be flying again soon.
Is there is any otherways to pass the colour vision test. ?
@@blooddemon1536 yes there are many. F.E. Lantern, Anomaloscope, CAD-Test, and if you move to Australia or South Africa you can do many more or none and fly.
I thought in Australia you still have to take an operational color vision test (OCVT) to become a commercial pilot.@@adiabii
@@adiabii hi can I ask a question? Do you think failing the ishihara test in Australia is possible to ask for other color vision tests? And get the 1 class medical cer. ?
I just want to say that I am born with Cerebral Palsy, and people have always told me that, no you can not become a pilot. I got a Class 2 and what stoped me? I am color blind. Still I managed to get 100h TT and 25 PIC before they kicked me out of flight school. I hope you still have a job, and not the Corona virus. Be safe and god bless!
I did a med exam for a private pilot license way back in the 960s in the US...haven't been a pilot since, as my employment with the US Govt later prevented me from that...and now I'm an Octogenarian...would love to fly with you though...since you seem to know what you're doing...
New Zealand have the OCVA for colour blind people who want to become pilots, hopefully this is what I can take!
Where do you live currently and for which airline are you flying for. ? From which flight school did you complete your CPL?
Great insight video.
After listening...I've got one chance of getting a pilots license.
And that is no chance 👌🌹
Here's a question that you can answer -- how much calculation is required for takeoff? Also, what are on those checklists?
Why did you delete your review of the ASA headset? That video was ASMR
Hi Michelle!
What airline do you work on? 😁
A guy I know didn't pass his medical AFTER completing the flight school so he lost his license due to not seeing the difference between two green colours. The reason was so you can see the difference between short and long grass (?).
interesting
Am I able to wear colour deficient glasses or colour deficient contacts when doing the colour blindness test?
I can't pass the Ishihara test, but I can easily identify individual colors. It's when certain colors are meshed together--like in the Ishihara Test, that I cannot differentiate the colors. Oh well, I guess nobody will be flying my friendly skies.
Hello, I have a question. Recently I have been very worried for my Medical Class I Medical, I have a condition called Pectus Excavatum, it is only aesthetic, but I really need to know if it is automatically disqualifying. Or if I am only going to get a tougher exam. Thank you!
I love the end scene, those words are hard to pronounce
Nice video summing up all medical requirements! I was quite aware of my color-blindness before taking my medical examination for class 1. I contacted several medical centers and they instructed me to take several color tests independently. The result was a slight form of protanopia that fit into limitations. But guess what happened when I took the class 1 examination? I was refused because of my color vision. It has been almost a year since that and I have been struggling with authorities to re-take the tests. I got the approval of my color vision eventually and now I'm waiting to repeat the medical examination, hopefully when the situation allows it again.
It is wise to ask for information in case of doubts, I'm not saying the opposite. But my experience has shown that most of the medical centers and examiners are not 100% transparent. So I strongly advise all applicants to review by yourselves the actual regulations. Look for thresholds and specific medical parameters and make sure you are compliant with them. It would have saved a lot of time, money and frustration if I had been aware of this in the first place.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you're in a similar situation. Color vision deficiency is a difficult matter but in most cases, you can still become a pilot.
I have mild deutan deficiency, I'm worried now that if I go for the class 1 medical they'll refuse to let me become a pilot?
@@evanpender8924 Depends on where you take the examination, basically EASA or FAA. In both cases, the initial test is the Isihara plates. If you have no issues with this one you will pass. Otherwise, you will have to conduct more tests. In EASA regulation these can be the anomaloscope, CAD or the latern. My advice if you cannot pass isihara is that you go to a medical center where they offer these tests and check your results against the thresholds in the regulation.
@@PPinto-fd9qgI'm in Ireland, I think it's the EASA medical I'll have to do. I wonder would they allow using the enchroma glasses during the isihara test?
@@evanpender8924 Indeed, Ireland falls under EASA regulations. Unfortunately, the will not accept color correction lenses for the tests. You can search for 'EASA Part MED AMC', you will find a pdf where they specify the pass/fail criteria for all medical conditions included color vision. If you cannot pass Isihara, you can try to undertake the other tests in a specialized center and see if you color visions fits.
Hi I have a color pill(red ,green), can I become a aviation mechanic?
When I was young and applied for service in the Air Force the medical exam revealed I could not read the Ishiara plates, save the first one. The one that all daltonic people can read.
Hello again and a huge thanks for the information . i am grateful to u. I want to become a pilot but i have a doubt and i always ask you the same question in all your videos , unfortunately i never get any reply from you but trust me i am not complaining about this. i just wanted to ask you can a girl of height 5 foot 1 inch become an airline pilot? please response me whenever you get time.
thanks again dear, lots of love you are really inspiring❤️
Hay Dutchpilot! Witch airline you pilot/co-pilot?
Soo Funny the Right Half Part of the Video Cover. 😂😂 Maybe, Could Explain the Situation in the Cockpit.😉
As Passenger I had felt the Problem With Cold and Hot Air, Now I´ve a better Understanding of What Causing this Unbalance.🔥🧊
Thanks Michelle for Your Great Video As Usual!✈
so i kinda have like a little water allergy after i shower like a little itching for like 15-20 minutes would that affect the first class medical?
What about mental fit tests for the executive board and CEO's of aviation companies? Imagine such a test for the Boeing guys!
Thanks for the insight. Loved the final section, pre-editing gaffs.
♥️♥️♥️
on the colorblind test I got 15/24 LEEETSSS GOOOOO
DutchPilotGirl Its looks like you can learn the Greenlandic language
Hello
I was heartbroken when I thought I couldn't become a pilot because I'm colorblind. COCKPIT HERE I COME
haha what a coincidence, i just went into youtube to search for a certain music video, and then youtube shows me this video in the main screen of the channels and topics i usually watch, and it says with "uploaded 7 seconds ago" and no views yet. (probably already has some views as im writing the comment:))
ill watch it, I bet its good like the other ones:)
Thanks! Hope you are able to find the music you were looking for ;)
Cool vid...can i get a laser operation and then become a pilot cause my vision isnt the best?😥
It's best to contact to an aviation medical examiner and ask about the laser operation to be sure if it is accepted.
Phew was afraid you were gonna say the cutoff for height was going to be like 190 or something. I'm like 198 so I'd barely fit.
Hello Michelle,
I just remembered about the pilot of "German Wings" who crashed intentionally into the mountain killing all on board.
What was wrong with him medically and how come he was allowed to fly?.....
I am worried as passenger if the pilot is not sound minded or mentally unfit to fly.
What is your response to this.
Thank you.
Best wishes from Leicester, ENGLAND.
Ahmed.
I would have joined the air force when I was 18, but they wouldn't accept people for flight training if they wore glasses. I wore glasses, so I didn't join. I got a civil commercial license instead.
Some of us outside NL understand Dutch you know.... but i didn't quite catch that comment near the end. Say it again clearly. :)
😍
If some one has hypertension and taking medicine of it, could fly under Class 1 medical?
Momenteel zit ik in 4Havo en het is altijd al mijn droom geweest om piloot te worden alleen vraag ik mij nu af of het nog wel slim is om proberen geselecteerd te worden om een piloten opleiding te doen door de corona crisis waardoor er zoveel piloten ontslagen zijn. 2021 zal ik als het goed is mijn diploma ontvangen en daarna moet ik dan een speciaal examen doen wat zo'n 2 weken duurt doordat ik dan een havo diploma heb en geen vwo diploma. Maar is het dan nog wel slim om te proberen geselecteerd te worden voor de piloten opleiding doordat als ik dan de opleiding afgerond heb ik 2023 ik waarschijnlijk veel competitie heb met "laatst" ontslagen piloten die dus al meer ervaring hebben dan ik heb?
I failed medical exams for pilot academy in my country because I have very serious motion sickness problem. I passes all other items. :-(
Hii I'm from india and I wanna be a pilot in USA can u pls guide me?and is embry riddle a good university to go to??
What will happen if we fail ishihara test,do we have another chances?reply please.
