TRT and first class medical

[nibake]

Title sums it up. Any knowledge of what's required/what to know?

I am on TRT.

Basically once per year, it requires a CACI form and a blood panel. Easy peasy.

I was too, same experience as @derg.

Off of it this year since we are trying for a little one, but can’t wait to get back on it.

It’s my understanding that levels don’t need to be disclosed. I’m dancing in the 900-1100 range and feel great.

Thanks for the replies. How does the timing work out with going on it? Mandatory waiting period with no flying, and then you get a blood panel, or just report at next medical exam?

 

[derg]

Just report it at the next medical.

Just report it at the next medical.

The form and blood panel need to be within the last 90 days so I recommend to schedule an appointment with your doc w/ blood work about a month before your medical. That way you have time to get the bloodwork, form, and appointment squared away before you go in for your first class.

Report it, bring the form in, and you should be good to go.
