LOL !!! Nice one Easyflyer........

common sense says:

"dress smartly" (with polished shoes)

Oh, come on..

For a medical, yep, you are spot on.. "This chap's bloodpressure is way high, but I'll issue the medical cause his shoes where so shiny and he looked bloody smart.."

If thats how a JAR medical class 1 is issued I can't say I'm too impressed..

blah blah blah double blah

for what its worth I'll just add my tuppence.
Just remember to drink at least a pint of water before you go so that you don't have an empty bladder when it comes to giving your urine sample. ;)
Good luck and enjoy the day

As someone said clean pants are the order of the day.

The only things they seem to care about is.

a. Have you paid
b. Do you have your passport with you.

Then its kit off and round the stations

And after its all finished they do have a shower for the use of.

During the Brain activity test thingy (which is the most horrible test in the whole lot) they draw on your head and use a gel with what feels like sand through it to make the contacts with the electrodes. Much better to get it all away so your not scratching your head all day.

If it helps i went in Chinos and Causal shirt and shoes.

Good luck

I wore my moomu. :cool:

Who do I listen to?

Brenoch, a 757 pilot with experience.....

or

dmdrewitt & Dakota Queen, two over opinionated eager wannabes keen to impress...... hmmmm...... now let me think! ;)

The thread matter may not be very serious but it does highlight a case of wannabes not willing to bow to experience and thinking they know it all before they've even started.

Let's hope they don't adopt the attitudes they've displayed here when they get to the flight deck..... for their sakes. :rolleyes:

VFE.

I did my Class 1 about two weeks ago and got the all important piece of paper in the post yesterday. Wear whatever you are comfortable in. I went in jeans and trainers and at no point did I feel the docs and nurses were being unprofessional. Besides, white trainers go rather well with the dressing gowns ;)

If I could do the exam again, which I will in a year, I would be a bit more careful when driving in before the exam. I found that two hours in a car with loads of wind noise did my hearing no good at all. Only just scraped through the hearing test. Prehaps an ear plug in my right ear would have made things easier.

i did my class one last week, jeans and trainers were fine, and having paid £400 for the service, i wouldnt expect to be told of a dress code so just go as you feel comfortable, no-one is judging you by how you look, just how you cope with high frequency strobes :yuk:
A question slightly off topic; does it always take roughly 2 weeks for the medical to come through? only ive got a place on a sponsored training scheme, dependant on this class 1, which im scheduled to be on in april and with lots of other sorting out to do in a very short time.

What Should One Wear to Class One Medical
 

OK Reido.... it's time to own up old son... this is a wind-up isn't it? If on the other hand you are being serious, this is the most disturbing post I have read in Pprune in over 3 years. If you don't have the modicum of common sense necessary to work this out for yourself, how are you going to make some very serious decisions if you ever get an airline job? You were joking weren't you Reido... please tell me you were joking! Best wishes to all other wannabes....especially the ones who can get dressed without outside help! Jeez!

LOL !!!! Christ Boeing you're right!!! What was I thinking of? I was probably bored and just wanted some attention on PRUNE. Thats it- I'm out of here....

A colleague of mine went for his ATCO class 1 a couple of years ago. When he got to the undressing to the waist and putting on the dressing gown, he misunderstood the nurse and stripped off completely. Felt a bit stupid in front of the girls in the waiting room !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they eventually made him go back and put his trousers on.

>they draw on your head and use a gel with what feels like sand through it to make the contacts with the electrodes<

I thought they were drilling little holes to let all the little people that live in there breathe!

I would have though the test on Yorkshire folk would be to see if there is any brain activity at all.

Can't be much if you think tripe sarnies is acceptable lunch.

mad_jock

Was it not Yorkshire folk that got you through your CPL/IR??

It was a Gordie :D

And the rest were non tripe eaters

Hey MJ he really will take it badly being called a geordie- he's a MACKAM (unsure about spelling)

I would say that this thread has matured enough in here by now to be shipped on down to Jetblast..

Hey I just stepped in here from Jet Blast.

Go in full drag. I did and it made a man out of me.

wait a minute....
