Pre-flight Medical examinations in Russia

English Russia is a daily entertaiment blog devoted to the events happening in Russian speaking countries, such as Russia (Russian Federation), Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Kazakhstan, etc. Everyday something interesting happens in the countries occupying 1/6 of the populated world. Through the following photo show you  can see as the pilot and flight crews  see their airport daily activities…

But what is really worthy-note from aeromedical point of view is how they must attend a Pre-flight Medical examination  not sooner than 2 hours before departure and not later than 1 hour. A doctor measures pressure and takes a pulse rate. He assesses a pilot’s condition and in case he has any suspicion additional what other tests may be taken. ¡Really amazing¡ To my Knowledge this assessment is/was  done just in military field under especial conditions. Do you know other cases in commercial aviation?
