FAA First Class Medical.....
Quick question.....
I have held a FAA first class medical for many years. Because I haven't flow in the US for the past 2 years, I haven't kept my medical current (so in effect it's privileges have been downgraded).
If I go to get a First Class done tomorrow (let say), would I have to do an EKG? I've read the following on the FAA website, and from it I understand it's a "No" - but cannot confirm it. I am 34 years old for what it's worth.
