Can anyone give me requirements pertaining to the JCAB medicals?
I am interested to know just what all is involved.

VERY Intense 2 day medical. Really watch what you eat and drink and exercise!! Watch out for your BMI as well.
Good Luck!:cool:

SB is right.
You do need to be fitter than for most other licencing authorities.
There are extensive blood tests, resting ECG, stress ECG, brain scan, full urine tests, psych, full eye test, full ENT check.
A good idea the day before is to drink plenty of water and try and eat salad / vegetarian food. (Apparently helps in the urine protein result ?)
Exercise and minimum alcohol would also be a very good idea.
Good luck. :D

To add on the topic, watch your cholesterol level (must be below 200), your uric acid and the other good stuff. If you don't know what this all means, consult your family doctor. Just be prepared for a "astronaut" physical exam basically.
Vision is 20/60 uncorrected is the maximum JCAB allows. Yes, lots of water! Try to avoid caffeine until you pass the tests.
Good Luck mate!
