The medical is easy man nothing to worry about just make sure you can pee on demand lol, nah once you get there the first thing you will do is pee in a cup then you will see the doc who asks you questions about any illness or injuries you've had before, then he will weigh you and take your height (for your BMI) then he will take a stethescope (not sure of spelling) and listen to ur lungs, then check ur ears and eyes and of course the cup and cough :o , after that you will go through to do an eye test (read the letters from left to right etc) then a colour blindness test (funky books you loved when u were a kid) then a hearing test listen for the bleeps, after that he will give you your forms to take up to AFCO it will say on front if you pass, oh if you are into habbit of drugs make sure you quit now as they will be in ur pee for roughly 1 month and u will fail (just saying),

Hope that helps ive just had mine in december pgac in march
