Yay for Captain Joe and Mentour!

I was scared to death at my initial medical. I got it though. I first encountered problems after the 4th recurrent, where I went to a new AME. Turns out he is a former fighterpilot, who's standards were like if he was approving people for space-travel. I went to another AME, and there were no problems at all. So guys, when you recurrent, it does matter which AME you choose. Some of them work out from standards of the regulation, and some of them are evil creatures who wants your carrer to end.

That shows remarkable insight, good for you. In secondary school, we had a chem teacher who was working on his PhD in his spare time and asked us the craziest questions on exams and one time when a student came up with a different solution than he had envisaged, he actually responded "yeah, that's probably possible too". In hindsight, he was trying to teach us "rocket science", lol, because that is where his mind was most of the time. Okay guy, though. Later, when I was not able to make sense out of some of my geophysics classes (on astronomy) at university, I remembered a tip that a guy teaching structural geology (a combination of geometry and mechanical physics) had given me before when I had said (complained) that some of what he said was hard to follow... namely... simply find a different source of knowledge that works better for you. I consulted actual astronomy books and ended up understanding the stuff better than the guy who was teaching us the stuff. This was, you know, first-year general stuff, so it is not necessarily taught by folks who really understand the stuff that they talk about.

Best of luck to you! But I have to add one thing he of course did not mention in this video. Ofcourse you have to be honest to the doctors questions. But NEVER tell them too much. They will dig for a way to fail you. Trust me. I know of people who had what mostly reminds of a tiny pimple on their eardrum, which they told the AME, and then failed the medical. 6 months later the "tiny pimple" was gone, and they went to another AME, and then passed the medical check. Be honest about the things that matters to your medical. If in doubt, you are not in doubt.

You're so comfortable doing things like this, if you ever decide to stop flying you'd be a wonderful teacher in the subject! So cool under pressure but so sharp with the questions and knowledge! I'm certainly no pilot but still apreciate videos like this as it gains my confidence as a passenger. Well done.

I failed the psychological test. The results said I had some obsessive compulsive traits. In the scale of 1 -100 I scored 62 in this trait and pilots need a maximum of 59 or under. 3 points less and I could have passed the test :( Anyway, the medical centre said me that the psyco tests are not 100% sure of your real attitude so that's why I have a second chance

Im currently saving money for my CPL and im so happy that I passed my initial medical class 1, 2 months ago, until today... Over 2000 pilots and air traffic controllers in Denmark, including me just got their medical class 1 & 2 suspended. This is do to non-authorised aeronautical doctors issuing medicals. An absolute scandal and completely unheard that this could happen. Hope that I'll pass it once again and hope actually working pilots can get their medical within 2 months, otherwise they will be grounded. Never the less thanks for a great video - Gustav :-)

Much better interview than the last one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very interesting video, can't wait for the follow-up! Since you've insisted on the illicit drug problem, I became curious: how often does it happen that pilots fail the drug test during recurrent examination? I'm not asking about initial examination discovery rates, because practically anyone can go there, but I'm wondering how many pilots (who were obviously clean at the initial) go down the wrong path later in their lifes?

In the United States, you only go to a certified air medical examiner. It's a usual medical examination and it doesn't take all day like in Europe or other countries.

I’m mainly scared of the psychological tests and eye examinations in the class 1 medical but overall I have nailed other parts in the class 1 medical

Sure, I've seen and pass few health exam much worst than that. There is nothing there if you are in 'good shape' and exercizing regularly. I remember one exam taht impress me a lot at the time, it was needed to allow me to go in paramilitary training in the Artic. They check all that can be checked on a 8-pages physio-physical at my doctor's office plus a full evaluation of my physical fitness : full audio width, tastebuds, numbered all my dark points in my eyes, complete field of vision, characterize in detail my color vision, wide blood evaluation up to (if I remember correctly) 5 sub-blood groups, major renal activities, some scans for tumors and x-rays, peripheral blood circulation, tactile sensibility at several spots, reflexes, ORL, assessment of all past accidents, cardio at rest and on work load, some tumor's check over the body... I was pretty young at the time and it was an opportunity to learn a lot about my body and its health. I pass and was the only one over hundred guys who enjoyed his time over there.

Hi! I've got a question. I've already passed initial Class 1 Medical (I'm about 20yo). But half of my family has hypertension. I also have high blood pressure (around 137/85) and I don;t take pills. I was asked just general about family (not asked straight about this problem) on initial and I simply forgot to mention it. Should I do it on my recurrent? I start to think about it, so I did excessive workout examination, I am under cardiologist monitoring, everything is fine with a heart, no need to intervene right now (did it AFTER initial). I read in PART-MED it's allowed to take pills under controlled circumstances (which fortunately still don't need to be taken). Should I be worried ?

Ive got a medical soon so found this interesting :-)

Can anybody tell me if there is a (detailed) dental examination on initial pilot medical test? And if so, is it possible to pass the test even if you have a lot of tooth fillings?

My, non-aviation, occupational medical tests required fasting for the blood draw, it was great if they could do this first, it’s hard to fast until noon, for example. I did worry slightly about false positives in the drug test, so I avoided known cross-reactors like poppy seeds in muffins, etc. Also, Marijuana smoking in public places is so common where I live that I used to worry about a positive for that in my drug tests, every time I went out in public it seemed I had to walk through that disgusting smoke. I don’t know how high the frequency of false positives is, but I think they should take a duplicate sample and send one set of sample containers of blood or urine to each of two different labs, just in case. I never used illegal drugs, and I hated to think my beloved career could be ended by a laboratory error!

Hi Mentour, i would like to ask if it is possible to reach the firsth class medical license with a allergy to the alternaria that rarely could cause to me a asma attack.

I am a person who is scared of medicals. I remember I couldn't get my heart rate to calm down during the ecg lucky the pattern of the graph showed that my heart was ok. I have class 2 but terrified to get class 1, in general i am not good with hospitals and doctors. Please include what operations are acceptable? Also thinking what if someone suffered a panic attack unrelated to aviation and got it professionally sorted?

Are the requirements for a Class 1 medical subject to EU/EASA or federal authorities? And regarding eyesight: If everything else is fine, can you fail your medical due to e.g. 1/4 of a dioptrine (outside the requirements)?

Sometimes i get a nose bleed does this mean that im going to fail my medical examination class 1?

Captain... I have a question... how long did it take for you to get a job??

Hi mentour I hope you're doing well, i will be thankful if you answer this or somebody who knows, I'm going to star my pilot training here in venezuela in modules, first with ppl then with a instruments course and finally my cpl the training here is very cheap, I'm only paying 22$ for 192hours of flying but I want to move to the us and find a job or in Europe but it's hard to me to understand the certificates and test you have to make the get the certification in another country, so help if you know o make a podcast, thanks 💪🏻

Hey mentour pilot. I love your videos. But I have a weird question.I was on a frontier airbus a319 and all the sudden a barking dog sound was heard. So weird. If you heard this before can you make a video where you tell us what is that weird dog noise in an airbus.

What I'd like to know is if the authorities in the EU are as lenient as the U.S authorities?. For example, if someone doesn't meet a particular standard for vision, perhaps having glaucoma or some other illness, Will the Authorities in the EU simply disqualify a pilot or will he be allowed to demonstrate his ability to be a safe pilot if the condition is stable and closely monitored? I've heard of pilots with 1 eye correctable to 20/20 only, some with prosthetic limbs and other health conditions that all flying commercially in the U.S. Are the standards in the EU the same or at least lenient in this regard also? Also, why do some airlines have higher medical standards that what is required? Doesn't this limit the pool of pilots they can rightfully hire if they qualify by the standard of the authorities?

Thanks for the vid! How about headaches... one of the most common ailments? I wouldn't fly with a bad one. But, would a history of migraines disqualify somebody? Don't get them much, but when I do 2-3x a year, I'm smart enough not to drive. Is this a judgment call for the pilot? I'm sure everybody gets one... and possibly has had to fly with one.
