An airport in the UK has advertised for an air traffic controller with good vision, but said applicants could use a Braille form to apply.
The website for St Mary's Airport, on the Isles of Scilly, says controllers need to be able to observe changing weather conditions as their work "is not over-dependant upon very costly and sophisticated electronic equipment''.
A spokesman for the Council of the Isles of Scilly, which runs the airport, said the alternative formats were offered on all job adverts.
The Royal National Institute for the Blind praised the council for "good practice''.
