Only if your over 40, then its Dr. Sausage finger. That's only if your company requires it.

Item 39. a**s

   1. Digital Rectal Examination: This examination is performed only at the applicant's option unless indicated by specific history or physical findings. When performed, the following should be noted and recorded in Item 59 of FAA Form 8500-8.

Answer 4

no, for a male , about the closest thing is the drop trousers, spread em for a "visual". or the MD grabbing of the s*****m and you cough.

Answer 5

A digital prostate exam used to be a standard part of the physical, then in the early 1980's the FAA made it optional.  Most AME's don't even mention it any more.

Answer 6

When I got my 2nd class and 3rd class medical exams, I never had a rectal exam.  I've also never heard it done for 1st class either.
