Pilot courses tend to have 2 medical fitness certificates, namely, Class I and Class II medical certificates. Class I includes requirements like vision (6/6 in each eye, with or without correction), hearing, ECG, and cardiovascular tests. First test is required to be fulfilled by the pilots who fly commercially. The latter is for the private pilots, with the purpose of checking the health of their mind and body. The potential candidates are supposed to pass these tests at DGCA-approved centers.
