Losing contact lenses is a weird old meme since modern ones rarely seem to fall out. It was more of an issue with the old hard contacts.
“joke” aside
i thought you can’t become a real pilot with bad eyesight. thats why they also retire extremely early.
this might be specific to lufthansa and or germany, outdated or … plane wrong
You can, but if you need correction you have to bring a spare pair of glasses with you to avoid this exact situation. Military pilots do need perfect vision
Is that really irony or coincidence? I guess one would hope/expect the “eyes of the plane” as pilots are in good shape, so a bit eyeronic, but seems like a Meredith Brooks-type usage.
I mean, passenger planes mostly run on auto pilot now. Pilots are kinda more along for the ride to make sure it goes smooth lol.
