Its a EASA protocol not a UK CAA.

And you have quoted the requirements for a class 2 holder. The class one is an annual stress test minimum.

You also must be quiet young because the number of tests ramp up as you get older. You will have heart and cartiod ultrasounds, halter monitors and OGTT to look forward to... and you will more than likely fail the OGTT which will put you on the type II protocol and multicrew restricted.

I am not a medic, just seen a couple of pilots go through this. I also know one who was refused a type rating on the Q400 because they couldn't press a button which is between your legs infront of the captains controls with the shoulder straps on.
