Summary
244 Max talks with AME Dr. Dylan Caldwell about Dos and Don’t pilots should follow when preparing for an FAA flight physical. Pilot’s should avoid drinking coffee, Red Bull or energy drinks before their physical, as these increase blood pressure. Pilots also shouldn’t exercise right before the exam. Get plenty of sleep the night before, and drink water ahead of time.
