I am having issues installing on my device. What might be the cause?

Make sure you are connected to the internet and your device's storage is not full.  Also, check to see if there are any firewalls or antivirus programs on the network that might prohibit a download.  

For Windows devices, make sure the current user has admin privileges to download.  It might also be that the download did not come through correctly. Delete the program and attempt a new download and install.

For Apple devices, there must be payment information stored in the Apple ID. Also, we do not support Apple Business Enterprise at this time.

If you still have issues, please email help@waggonerdiagnostics.com and share as much detail as possible.

I am seeing more pilots fail. Why is that?

There are a few reasons why you might see more fails with the Waggoner CCVT than when using the traditional methods such as Ishihara books. 

- The newer computerized color tests required by the FAA have increased sensitivity and accuracy versus book testing. 

- The Waggoner CCVT also includes Tritan testing to watch for those with acquired deficiencies.  Acquired deficiencies affect about 15% of the population due to medications, diseases, and environmental factors. 

- Books have very strict testing protocols that might not always be replicated within the test taking setting. The age and physical condition of the book may also be a factor.

- Cheating has occurred since the books are published and widely available.  Memorization of the plates can occur.  The Waggoner CCVT is a randomized test to prohibit this from happening.
