This is why we have a:

2) we have recurrent training in a simulator at as often as every 6 months,

3) we are required to have quarterly continuing education and

4) we have line checks every 24 months.



So it appears we are constantly being reviewed for our performance both technically as well as cognitively. Sounds like a pretty good program.



All the best,

Let's be honest. Medical exams as they are today are only going to weed out the most obvious health issues. Most pilots go to the easy doctor which means a lot of things are overlooked or not even checked at all.
