Colorblind AME in Dubai / UAE? Looking for real experiences (B1/B2)
Finishing up my first year of a 4-year AME course (2 years theory + 2 years practical) in Dubai for both B1.1 and B2.
Found out I was red-green colorblind a year ago. Got rejected by one college because of it but passed another one, but the school I'm at now (also another one) accepted me and the manager told me not to worry. I also asked some classmates to check with their dads who work as AMEs here, and they confirmed there are definitely colorblind engineers working in the hangars right now.
But I still get hit with anxiety because I know places like the Philippines will instantly kill your career over a color test.
Are there any active B1 or B2 AMEs in Dubai/UAE who are colorblind? How did your GCAA medical or practical trade tests go? Did you get slapped with any limitations, and has it actually affected your hiring or daily work with airlines here?
Appreciate any real insight from guys on the floor. Thanks.
