However, those tests are not done as part of an FAA pilot medical certificate exam with the exception of the EKG, and that is done at age 35, and then after after 40 it is done yearly for a 1st class exam. Treadmills and stress tests are not part of FAA medical exams, unless there was a situation where a pilot had his medical yanked and had to undergo medical tests from a specialized doctor in order to prove to the FAA that he was healthy enough. But it is interesting that the USAF contracted that B1900 to be operated by a single pilot, because in passenger airline operations, 2 pilots are required by FAA regulations. Granted the USAF can do what they want in some regards, but why they and Raytheon would operate it single pilot, is strange
