[@lokeshbadri2051]

[@KunalKumar-cm3rj]

All my anxiety regarding the class 1 medical is gone after watching your well made detailed video. Thank You! And let's fly together one day 😇✌🏻

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Thanks for the appreciation buddy😊😀

[@priyaghosh5866]

Really a helpful video sir...pls keep making this types of helpful videos ,we will support u

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Thanks will surely do that

[@kirishelangovan2911]

Thanks for the information bro......Do we have to take the Pure tone Audiometry and Dilated fundus examination tests done and take the report with us on the exam date or it is done at the concerned centre.

[@danishsayed6698]

I’m confused too

[@chaitanyapawaia]

It’s done at the centre but I advise you to also take one with you. They will ask for it. In worst case, they will ask you to bring it on the next day.

[@neetashrirao9518]

What if we had done our class 2 medical earlier like 4-5 months prior..still we need to go through this check again??

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Class 2 and class 1 both are very different test. You have to go for class 1 within the time period for which your class 2 medical is valid.

[@gamerzone-we4fx]

After how much time did you receive your assessment and where did you receive it.

[@chaitanyapawaia]

After 1 month on email

[@shaswatsharma6470]

Bro where did you get your Class 1 done from? Do they also do advanced eye exams like corneal topography, tomography, etc?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

I got class 1 medical initial done from AFCME Delhi. No, they only test your eye power compare it with your spectacles if you have one and do a complete eye fundus test.

[@Exol-India]

Brother I have a question. Suppose I got my class 2 done in Nov 2021. Can I get my class 1 done in July of 2023? As class 2 is valid for 2 years!

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Yes

[@prajjwalbaluni903]

Bro now all this could be done online right???

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Yes through the egca website.

[@justtheguy27]

Thanks for this. Just one question - what all do they check in the naked body examination?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Heart rate, hands and legs posture

[@Nigotcha]

bhai sunn what is ur power of lense and in result did they write fit or fit with limitations because i had read somewhere that those who wear glasses the medical result will be fit with limitations.... and my most important question is do they do any skin test like scars or stretchmarks.. and last question of my confusion is i have a flat feet so is this an issue !!! Sunn very nice video for many people like mee !!! jaate jaate ek or question kya woh log testis bhi check kartey hain please baatade na yaar i am confused broooo?? reply this and bro if u not replied this after reading then idk what will happen but meri dhamki hain!! bhai reply kardena broo

[@chaitanyapawaia]

No limitations. Only advice to wear specs while flying. No skin test No problem with flat feet And it depends on the doctor and the situation if he will check ur testis or no

[@user-fd2ho3du1t]

When do we have to revalidate the medical application in front of the examiner at the center or before going to the center?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Just before going to the centre

[@Kvriar]

Bro what's the difference in doing class 1(initial) from private and airforce medical centers ? because I'm from Mumbai so if i can get my class 1 initial from nanavati won't make any difference right ?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

No difference you can get it done from private centre

[@knightmare7756]

Where do we get PMR number for class 1 medicals? I’m done with my class 2 medicals but haven’t received any PMR number. Is it on egca website?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Yes. You will find it on your egca portal.

[@tusharsaikhedkar9808]

13:18 bro please elborate this when you said they ask you to show your hands. Bro I have a movement restriction in my wrist supination movement that why I am worried. Please can you tell me more about this, how do you show your hand, what movement they make you do etc.

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Bro I am not very sure about that but you can definitely call a class 1 medical examiner and ask them

[@tusharsaikhedkar9808]

​@@chaitanyapawaia thank you for replying, I greatly appreciate it. really, I can just straight away call the examiner?

[@eshikaagarwal4777]

Bro at the dgca website there is one more option of class 3 medical examination...brief us about that..and also first get our medicals done or pass the dgca exams?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Class 3 is of no use for pilots. But still I will surely make a brief video on that. I would suggest you to get your medicals done first so that you can be sure that you won’t have any medical issues in future before you start investing your money and time.

[@angelicdiaries7789]

Hey sir I have a doubt kya humare pas class 2 medical nd computer no. Hona important h to apply for class 1 medical?

Hi Bro, i have glasses with no. of -5.25D & -6.25D., Can this be the reason to reject me obtaining Class 1 meds?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Eyesight with or without glasses should be 6/6

[@KeyurPiprotar]

We can also apply at Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai Right ?

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Yes you can.

[@AmanSingh-vb7rp]

Can we apply for class 1 medical(initial )at Nanavati instead of any airforce medical centre??

[@chaitanyapawaia]

Yes. But they take more time to allocate a time slot than air force medical centres. So, you are not from Mumbai I suggest you to go for Air Force centres

[@VYPCreation]

Bro what do they check in naked body test And bro i have hyperhydrosis problem Means my hands sweat Will this create problem in class 1 ??

[@chaitanyapawaia]

They examine your knees, arms and ask you to jump, bend, cough Not sure about hyperhydrosis you can ask any class 2 doctor about that

[@VYPCreation]

@chaitanyapawaia okay bro But bro do they see our hands??

[@aakashjain2386]
