How to Clear DGCA Medical Exams for Pilots Clearing DGCA medical exams is the first major step toward becoming a pilot. Start with a Class 2 medical, conducted by DGCA-approved doctors, covering eyesight, hearing, blood tests, and general health. Once done, proceed to Class 1 medical at DGCA-approved centers like AFCME or IAM. This includes ECG, X-ray, audiometry, and more detailed evaluations. Maintain a healthy lifestyle—eat clean, sleep well, and avoid smoking or alcohol before tests. If you wear glasses, ensure your vision is within allowed limits. Medicals can be strict, but with preparation and good health, you’ll pass smoothly and move closer to your pilot dream.
