Do you mean his unaided vision is 20/80 or his unaided is something else and its corrected to 20/80? If its the later then i dont think he can even get that waivered for commisioning, let alone piloting.

I think unaided 20/80 is out of the range for pilot qualified. I think the worst acceptable PPQ vision 20/50 correctable to 20/20.

As for the hearing, contact DoDMERB and find out the exact problem with the hearing. Its not unheard of (no pun intended) for the technician who administers the hearing test to make a mistake. Find out what the problem is, get a retake of the exam and submit that, it should clear the hearing thing out.

I just checked the 05/06 Catelog and PPQ requires unaided vision to be no worse than 20/50, correctable to 20/20. So with that information, your son will not be PPQ, although navigation is 20/200 correctable to 20/20.

Hearing for pilot is:
(Frequency, Loss)
(500,25), (1000,25), (2000,25), (3000,35), (4000,45), (6000,45)

Hope this helps.
