The "Cough Test"
When you go for your class 1 medical, does any know the purpose of the "cough" test? Why is it necessary for the medic to grope around your groin while you cough?
I understand it to be something to do with hernias but I'd be interested in any detail, especially as to how it relates to one's ability to fly.
Also, do women pilots have the same test?
