Going in for 1st class tomorrow

Anyone have any tips or tricks they can offer?

Dr.,

Any advice, things I should eat, or drink before hand?

I want to come out on top and I'm afraid if I eat or do anything wrong I'll get false positives or something.

Thank you!

No, there is nothing special you need to do before an faa medical exam. Just relax during the tests and answer all of the examiner's questions honestly. This isn't a test you have to "prep" for. The FAA just needs to know if it is safe for you to fly an airplane.

Just show up and pee in the cup

Will do! Any advice on how many cups? Maybe a six pack?

Ugh. Got a deferment. Passed everything 100% but because I put Cerebral Palsy down on the form I have to get the FAA to send me a letter telling me what else they need from me.

Which means talking to Doctor's 3 states away that I haven't talked to in years.

All because I put 2 words down on a form.

Dont worry. Just send them the documents they need and based on the info in your other thread, you should pass not problem though I am not a doctor.

Thanks for your support. I really hope that I can get all the documents needed and that they pass me

So what happens next year when I have to go back?

Fill out the form and say that it's already been mentioned?
