Foreign medical for DGCA CPL conversion.

[Cactus225]

Hello all,

Any clue what a valid foreign medical means with the DGCA?

The application states the need for a valid foreign medical?
But what class of medicals?- I guess class I.

But is class II also not a valid medical?

What would happen if one was to submit an application with a class II medicals?

Sometimes i think they should have an IQ test to be able to register on these forums.
You Indians have some of the most absurd threads/posts around here.

What is the requirement of a CPL license? Yes a class 1 medical...Why on earth would someone issue a CPL on a class2 medical?

And where would you be from Sir LieDetector?

Do you know how many countries in the world issue a CPL with Class 2 medicals?

God! do your research before you start cussing all over this beautiful forum.

I see your interpretation of my question- your answer and your unwelcome comment about it and I think they should have a general comprehension and professional ethics test instead.

If you havent got the answer to my question- stay out.

You're right. Some countries do issue a CPL with a valid Class 2 medical certificate. For the Indian CPL, submit your Class 1 to be on the safer side.

@Cactus

I am quoting from what i understand from the conversation between me and a DGCA official,

The DGCA requires a Valid Indian Class 1 medical when u submit the application for the CPL, at the same time the DGCA also requires a Valid Class 1 foreign medical even though the foreign country may issue the CPL with Class 2 or 3. The reason for this being that the DGCA always requires the requirements fulfilled in its equivalence. I learnt this the hard way because the validity of my Foreign Class 1 medical was 13 months and the DGCA converted the medical validity into its equivalence to 12 months and I had to basically do the medical again.

So thats what it is in a whole and i am sure ur doubt is sorted out. PM me if u need any help.

Smurf- I have already submitted a Class 2 medical and taking heat over it.

Wish I had raised this question earlier. :ugh:
