Once you check into Pensacola and get your 1st actual upchit from NAMI, you’ll only need annual flight physicals based on your birth month. Not 12 months from the initial appointment.
For example, within a week of checking into Pensacola, I had to walk out of NAMI with my 1st upchit then directly into Flight medicine to start my annual upchit process as my birthday was 2 months later. My initial flight physical had been completed within 3 months.
Point being, it’s a convo to have with flight doc when you get to Newport to see if you can avoid some headaches.
