NetJets Medical Exam

What about pilots who are under 35 and can still get away with a first class medical without an EKG? Can they give an EKG to a younger guy and find something abnormal and then can them, even though an EKG is not required for those under the age limit?

I'm under 35 and had to do the EKG. EVERYONE does a EKG.

Ok, so then they do an EKG and find something "funny"... Then you have to report it to the FAA and then potentially get grounded, eh?

Last year one guy did not tell them he was diabetic, drank the orange suger kool aid and had a blood sugar of 400 something.
Another forgot to tell them he had a pace maker and the doctor found out after the chest xray. True stories

Better still...work out and eat right and you won't have high B.P!
