you recently got your first class medical, how tough is it ?
I am your age and got a second class decades ago when i got my licences. No longer current so I don't remember what to expect.
I use reading glasses now, should I get my vision checked before the AME or is that a non issue ?
Good luck with your career change.
thanks
I thought it was rather easy. I've always had great uncorrected vision, so i passed at 20/20. They take basic vital stats from you, check your hearing, did a brief EKG, which went with no problem. I've always enjoyed good health, so there was no issue for me. I figured i would knock that out of the way and go from there. Hope to do my Instrument check ride in a few weeks, then work on my CPL.
