| I was just wondering if ATCers have to pass the same medical as pilots?

| There are some minor differences but it is basically a Class 2 medical. |

| ![]() At the center I work we have a medical office complete with a R.N. and a M.D. They perform all the medicals for the controllers on site and many get sent there from surrounding facilities. Basic class 2 ... back when I did some flying they would give me another test or two for the pilot second class. The medical form we fill out is the same as the ones for pilots. |

| Oh... one last thing. The pre hire medical is very thorough, I recall it being 2+ hours... |
