Medicals
Being medically fit is a necessity for becoming a pilot. Before you start your journey we suggest getting your DGCA medicals done. These medicals can ONLY be done by doctors who have been approved by the DGCA. There are two classes of medicals- Medical Class 1 & Medical Class 2. The list of the doctors or hospitals can be found online or you can message us for the same and we will be happy to provide you with it.
Apply for Computer Number
Once you are done with your medicals, it’s time to start with applying for your Computer Number. You can do so on https://pariksha.dgca.gov.in/home – this can be a very frustrating and long process. Hence we at BORN2AVIATE provide assistance for filling out the application as well as mailing the documents, so don’t worry…just contact us!
