Is a haemotology blood test required at every class 2 renewal? I checked Part-Med and it just says a haemotology test is required at each class 1 renewal. I had a class 2 renewal last year and a tube of blood was taken and sent to a lab for testing. At any class 1 renewal I've had in the past Im sure it was tested with just a pin prick on the finger.

To answer my own question, No, A blood sample is not required to be taken for a class 2 renewal. I just had my renewal with a different AME and no blood sample was required. It seems that some AME's are not familiar enough with the renewal requirements!

So it varies? Is it required or not?

According to part med , the test is required for a class 1 for both initial and renewal and for class 2 only at initial.
