The advanced color vision test trusted by the FAA for pilots.
At San Carlos Eyecare, we proudly offer the Rabin Cone Contrast Test™ (RCCT)—an FAA-approved color vision test recognized for pilot certification.
The FAA-Approved Rabin Cone Contrast Test™ is one of the computerized color vision methods officially recognized by the FAA and compliant with the latest regulatory standards for new applicants. Unlike traditional pass-or-fail tests, it provides a precise, quantitative score of red, green, and blue cone sensitivity, offering a clearer picture of visual function. As a digital, computer-based test, it is both fast and reliable, with immediate results that can be taken directly to your Aviation Medical Examiner (AME).
In addition to one-time hereditary color vision screening, routine color vision screening must be performed for all pilots with a medical condition, or who takes a medication, which could affect color vision.
Conditions include:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has revised its standards for pilot color vision testing. Under the new policy, the Rabin Cone Contrast Test™ (RCCT) is officially recognized as one of three FAA-approved color vision tests for commercial pilots.
All pilots are required to pass one of these approved tests in order to avoid a flying restriction. The RCCT may be used as an alternative if a pilot does not pass another approved method. In addition, periodic retesting is required for individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking medications that can affect color vision.
In many cases, RCCT exams may also be covered by insurance.
At San Carlos Eye Care, we combine expert eye care with unparalleled convenience for pilots and aviation professionals. Located just minutes from San Carlos Airport and within easy reach of two major regional airports ( San Francisco International Airport and San Jose Mineta International Airport), our clinic makes scheduling FAA-approved color vision testing and other eye exams simple and efficient.
