What is all included in a class lV flight physical? What are some disqualifying factors for passing? How long does it take to be processed?

I am attempting to reclass to 15C and still need to take the physical. Searching for more info in regards to the physical, MOS itself, and time frame.

I do not know what the disqualifying factors are as I’ve never had any, but when ever I do a long flight physical (class 4 for my MOS) it includes the taking of urine and blood samples, a hearing test, a vision test, then it’s the same stuff they do for a PHA, and finally they do an EKG. Again, I’m sorry, but I do not know what is considered a disqualifying factor

Disqualifying factors - any spinal surreys, some medications...

It can take about three to six months to get a physical returned, depending on the availability of flight docs on your post.
