First Flight

What does a first time flight physical entail?

I’m starting college soon and I’m going to be majoring in aviation mangement and flight operations. I was wondering what does the FAA flight physical entail for a student who is having it for the first time? (does it require a blood test, special exams, etc.)

It’s basically an all-around physical. I don’t think there is a blood test but they do want to see some urine to check for drugs. They check vision and hearing, they check for hernias, look in eyes and ears for obvious things, stuff like that. If you’re in fairly good health there’s nothing to be worried about.
