Starting January 1, 2025, the FAA implemented a new approach for color vision testing (CVT):

For first-time examinees, CVT is now performed one time to screen for color vision deficiency.

If you have historically passed any previously approved CVT, you do not need to retest. This is true for all certificate classes.

All CVT is now carried out using an approved computerized testing method. At Iowa Aviation Medical Exams, we use Waggoner CCVT.
