For a class-3 FAA medical certificate, is there a drug screen?

Question

will the FAA medical examiner perform a urinalysis for drugs?

Answer 1

yes as far as i know

Answer 2

I've always had to pee in a cup, but I've never been told what they're testing before.

Answer 3

If you are asking this question, it  means you do drugs and if you do drugs don't waste your time trying to become a pilot.

Answer 4

There is a drug test at all certification levels.

And, if you ever have an incident - you will be be tested again.

If you take drugs, do not fly an airplane.

Period.

Answer 5

No. No drug screening for any class medical. The urinalysis checks for protien and sugar.

Answer 6

John B's answer is the only correct one. They'll stick the little paper strip into your sample, look at the colors to determine that you're not diabetic, then flush it. The FAA urine test is NOT a drug test.

You will get a drug screen urinalysis when you get interviewed by a prospective employer.
