FAA Stress Test / Medical


klas

Recommended Posts

So, have questions. I am sure I will probably call the local FAA med office to check, but thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else had this issue.

 

Had a stress test / echo today and the FAA, of course, requires 100% of max heart rate.

 

This was my 4th in 3 yrs and always hit 100%, going 12-14 minutes.

 

This time, however, I hit 96% and stopped after 13 minutes only because my legs were fatigued. No other issues affected the stoppage.

 

Anyone else ever submit a stress test so close to the result? Did the FAA say, 'no way' or did they make you take it over? Or were they OK with the result? Wondering if I should just do it again...
