|  Heart Murmur
Can I get a 1st class medical with a Heart Murmur? I've have my 2nd class medical, no problem. Had to do series of tests when I began my flying (student medical). Just wondering Thanks |

If you qualified for a Class 2, you will qualify for a Class 1  |

The exam is pretty much identical except the Class 1 folks need an EKG at 35 then every year after 40. There are some minor differences in the standards but they are not easy to summarize. They have to do with Special Issuance requirements for disqualifying conditions. http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/...a/synopsis.pdf |
