Not quite... it's a bit more than that.
Don't mean to scare you, but it will involve a needle/syringe in the upper forearm to extract 5-10cc of blood which will be collected into 2 vials for analysis.
One is for the Lipid Profile and the other for the Fasting Glucose test. Results at the end of the day.
If it's for the Oz Class 1, the good news is that you'll only need to do this blood test only once... now... and (especially if you're young) perhaps not again for quite a few years. So that's the jab for you.... you can faint once in a few years, can't you?
You'll do that for a career as a pilot, won't ya?
The eye check
is done by a CASA Designated Aviation Ophthalmologist. Again, only for your initial medical... and not again until you really need to see an "eye specialist" again.
The ECG (heart ticking ok?) and General Medical is done by the DAME
in max 20 minutes.
The Audiogram may or may not be done by the DAME. If not, you'll need to get it done by any ENT specialist.
The reports are collected and forwarded to CASA for evaluation and approval... and you'll get your Class 1 in the mail within 2 weeks.
Good luck!
