When calculating the private pilot license cost in India one common question students ask is whether the medical examination fees are included. Usually the private pilot license price does not include medical test charges.
Before starting your flight training every student pilot must undergo a DGCA Class 2 and later Class 1 medical examination. This ensures you are fit to fly and meet aviation safety standards. The medical test cost is generally separate from the ppl licence fee as it depends on the approved medical centers and doctors certified by DGCA.
However some top aviation academies or institutes offer inclusive packages where part of the medical fee is covered in the total private flying license cost. It's always best to check with your chosen flying school to confirm if medical charges are included in your ppl license cost or need to be paid separately.
Overall, while the ppl licence cost may vary from INR 10-20 lakh the medical examination fee is usually around INR 3,000-INR 10,000, depending on the clinic and location.
