Re: medical exam tommorow
No blood tests.
Yes on the urine test, but not for drugs, to check for diabetes
ECG- They will put some sticky wires on your chest to make sure your heart works right.
You will need an audigram to. Just a quick hearing test.
And your doctor will ask you a bunch of questions on family medical history, alcohol consumption, and if y ou smoke or not.

Don't worry about it man. I think you said you are 18 in one of your other posts, you'll fly through it.

Dont worry about drinking, I had my first exam in Europe..and the doctor wanted me to go to a pub and drink beer to piss easier 
Re: medical exam tommorow
You will be fine. Hold your piss till the test, otherwise it will take forever to give a urine sample. 
Never buy 1$ tickets

Don't forget to lube your butt...
cause these medical scams will surely do your wallet dry...
Timing is everything.
Re: medical exam tommorow
Yeah no worries there homeslice. If it turns out that you are colour blind then ask to take the Farnsworth D15 test or the lantern test.
You'll be in like a dirty shoe.

Re: medical exam tommorow
well i went to the exam today, turns out I have 20/20 vision.
..this was the first time i've gotten my eyes tested. my blood pressure was really good.
went to a different doctor for my ecg exam passed that with flying colours.
the only thing i gotta do is the audiologist..get my hearing tested which im not worried about one bit.
i guess this doctor only did the paper work, eye test, and blood pressure, along with all my information, but he sent me to a different doctor for my ECG, and my hearing test. never once was asked for my urine tho!
i just have to make sure the other docters send him the results.
he tried to only test me for a cat 3 ( found this docter very un-professional, he was rude and wore a sweater and blue jeans.but for 120 bucks i wasnt complaiin)cuz thats all you need for a ppl and to fly solo..but i had to tell him i would eventually need a cat 1 and may aswell make sure i can get it now rather than later.

On a more serious note, how about airline exams? I keep on hearing mixed stories about that exam.
On some notes regular guys fail it, but then I see morbidly obese pilot's flying for the major 705's of this nation.
How does this work out? What are the airlines looking for?
Re: medical exam tommorow
haha when i went for mine 2 years ago i wanted a cat1 but at the end of the test my doc said nah I only did a 3 you don't need a 1. cat3 was good until now, but now I do need a cat 1mcconnell14 wrote: he tried to only test me for a cat 3 ( found this docter very un-professional, he was rude and wore a sweater and blue jeans.but for 120 bucks i wasnt complaiin)cuz thats all you need for a ppl and to fly solo..but i had to tell him i would eventually need a cat 1 and may aswell make sure i can get it now rather than later.
Re: medical exam tommorow
If you're looking to go commercial, don't wait to get at CAT1. You could be setting yourself up for a big disappointment if you can pass a CAT3 but not a CAT1.
Re: medical exam tommorow
i told the doctor that I wanted cat 1 but when we went to pay for the exam afterwards it was only $100 and we said, "I thought it was $130" and he said, "o i only did a cat 3 you don't need a cat 1." He said that I would pass a cat1 no problem though and since he's regional head i guess I could trust him. its just the ecg that you really don't know about until you do it
