Step 2: Complete Required Medical Tests

A Class 2 Medical requires a few mandatory tests, including:

• Blood tests (Hb%, TLC, DLC, or CBC)

• Urine analysis (RE/ME)

• Resting ECG

• Chest X-ray (PA view)

• Pure tone audiometry
  Note: Detailed information about the required tests will be available in the same section of the website where you are entering your information.

Step 3: Upload Your Reports

• After completing these tests, upload the reports to the eGCA portal and enter the necessary details.

• Ensure that you revalidate your application before continuing.

Step 4: Visit an Approved Class 2 Medical Examiner

• Schedule an appointment with a DGCA-approved Class 2 medical examiner.

• The examiner will review and approve your reports and forward them to the DGCA for processing.

Step 5: Receive Your Class 2 Medical CA-35 Certificate

• Upon successful approval from the medical examiner, your Class 2 Medical CA-35 certificate will be available on eGCA, typically valid for 3 months.

• The official Class 2 medical assessment (valid for one year from the date of medical) will also be uploaded on eGCA.

It is advisable to obtain both your Class 2 and Class 1 medical certificates before beginning the training process. This ensures you’re medically fit before investing time and money into ground classes or flight training.
