You should try it with hypertension ( been under control and all tests within young healthy person spec for over 15 years) and I tripped the type 2 diabetes around the same time (also under control with diet and never tripped the limits since for a similar period). I just gave up after the annual medical requirement, best part of $1k of out of pocket tests (stress test doctor was getting pissed off at the waste of time and effort testing me when he could be spending his time on sick people) and the four month+ turn around for casa to tick box. Medical delays always put me out of currency. Just for the record, you might have guessed, I'm not dead yet!

Wouldn't the manifold pressure give it away? Been a few years since I did my CSU but I seem to recall that was the goto power check instrument.

I've told you a million times not to exaggerate or stereotype ?

Definitely don't use bird seed

When I was training I found that looking at how hard the instructors hand was squeezing his knee was a good indicator of when to flare

Well spotted Mike re: Class 2 exclusion.But I've been tripped with high blood pressure, under control within a few weeks of diagnosis, due to medication taken, nailed with CASA audit, then type 2 diabetes, no medication, just diet control. All tests for the last 4 years clear but CASA still insisting on ~$1k/annum for additional tests. So, the medical tests are good in one way, but given my DAME (and previous DAME) think they are unwarranted and both are happy to sign off my class 2, CASA experts are concerned that i'll drop of the perch without the additional tests. With hindsight, I'd recommend going to a different GP than your DAME, getting normal health checkup, then deciding if you want to let CASA in on your health history.

Problem is when you fall over the ECG stress test limit, even for class 2. Pretty easy to do, all you need to do is be over 60 for a male. Unless you have lower than average cholesterol or blood pressure to give a -ve score. My DAME thinks it's a joke all of the testing, similar comments from the Optical and Stress test people. I've given up paying ~$1k/annum for a class 2.

There'll be a point to this discussion eventually, can someone let me know so I can skip over all of the member measurement?

Why spoil a site tradition of rushing into a conclusion. Hope all praties concerned are ok.

The 'nagging problems' isn't just a couple of the members of this forum posting their usual is it?

Or you could stop being pedantic, remove head from orifice, consider the intent of the regulation and don't drink and fly. If you're worried about the threshold of how much booze is in your system, then there is a fair chance that you've had to much. Reckon you could nail a piece of string to a post and some of you guys would argue about it for days.

I'm guessing that's a couple less Christmas cards i need to send out this year. I'll get on with my travel plans to the land of sexual congress then.

It's all about the shiniest mousetrap
