I went through this 11 years ago, and have enjoyed 2nd class privileges every year since then. Dr. Bruce's description is exactly what I needed to get renewed. Make sure you get all the paperwork and required info, and make sure they do the whole "GXT protocol" for the treadmill test, 9 minutes if I recall. The techs cut mine short, and I needed a retake and re-sent info to FAA, delaying my re-qual for months, all for the lack of a minute and a half on the treadmill. I have yearly Special Issue requirements, a simple EKG, regular echocardiogram, and good physician's report, stuff you probably want to do anyway. Feel free to PM me if you have any general questions (not a medical pro).
