separately from corrective vision. They filed a complaint that strictly restricting admission opportunities unfairly with more tightened standards than the laws is discrimination on the ground of physical conditions without reasonable cause. In response, the accused universities argued that they have to take into account candidates' potential to become future pilots from the stage of selecting university freshmen and that a majority of graduates of the department of aeronautical science and flight operation are recruited by private aerospace companies after serving as military pilots. Vision requirements for military pilot officers are 0.5 or higher in naked vision and in the case of recruitment by private aerospace companies right after their graduation without becoming military pilot officers, if applicants do not have naked vision equivalent to requirements for military pilot officers, there is less possibility of being recruited, thus it is inevitable for them to set admission criteria accordingly. Yet, they stated that they would modify admission requirements, if the military and private aerospace companies ease their vision requirements. The Commission deemed that there are only two educational institutions running aeronautical science and flight operation departments in the country, who are the two accused universities, and thus admission eligibility set by the accused have an important impact on applicants' opportunities to become pilots in the future. Moreover, there exist opportunities for graduates of fight operation department to be directly recruited by private aerospace companies even if they do not become military pilot officers and the nation's leading aerospace companies do not impose vision requirements other than regulations prescribed in the Enforcement Decree of the Aviation Act and that the potential of becoming a pilot is an issue considered by aspiring individuals, not presupposed by the accused. The Commission decided that, given the circumstances, not granting opportunities to apply for aeronautical science and flight operation department in the first place is unreasonable discrimination and recommended to the accused universities to adjust vision requirements among their admission requirements for applying for the department of aeronautical science and flight operation equivalent either to the Enforcement Decree of 100 Part II.
