If their profile is accurate they're in Serbia. Things may be different there than they are here....

Not sure how difficult a medical in Serbia is, but in the US as long as you're relatively healthy its pretty easy and painless to pass. If you have existing conditions that complicates things a bit.

If you're talking about tandems in the US I believe you need a third class medical. Same as a private pilot license.

If you you're not diabetic, liver conditions, or high blood pressure no problem. It's a basic physical with a piss test for diabieties or liver issues and a balance check.

And vision . . .

Yes, over here you loose a day and if you're over 50, it's valid for a year, over 40, for two years, otherwise 5.

Yes, I wanted to now how that works in U.S.
Tnx all

A 3rd class medical over here is good for 5 years if you were under 40 at the time of issuance, otherwise its good for 2.

In the U.S. you just need to have two doctors . . .

The FAA one, "I'm good, Doc, no problems at all. Never felt better."

And a private one, "Gee, doc, this burning and dripping is killing me!"

But how come every time I bend over for the glove love the doctor always says, "By the way Airtwardo says hello!"

I've had two physicals as a TI, and never received the glove treatment. And I do have a prostate --- it reminds of that every morning around 3 AM

Yeah, I get a 2nd class for my commercial pilot license with no finger up my butt. I get the hernia check - turn your head and cough, but that's it.

And Quade is right about the vision thing. 2nd class requires pretty good close vision- reading the small print on the charts and approach plates and such.
I'm officially old - the doc says either bifocals next year or drop down to 3rd class.

Wow. I got my second one this summer and it was just a bunch of questions and a vision test. No piss test, no blood test, no physical. Granted the first one did include a piss test but not the current one.
