  1. I can't say much about the registry requirements and vision but I can comment on driving. I'm fully sighted myself but years ago I took flying lessons to get a private pilot license and one of my flight instructors was completely blind in one eye. I had my doubts but I got a the cockpit with this guy and he was one of the best flight instructors ever had and he did have to get a waiver to get a commercial pilots license himself. It sounds very similar to your own situation and I suspect a waiver is also available for you. I haven't seen this flight instructor in many years but I do know that he was after a job with the airlines and they're almost as strict as the military about vision. And be interested to know whether he was able to get the job. How he compensated for his lack of depth perception was he noticed the change in relative size of objects and he saw them move toward or away from him and learned to work with that. It takes practice but it seemed to be a very good way compensate for no depth perception.
