If you've had a past surgery or a healed injury you may be wondering Can I Pursue CPL if I Have Had Past Medical Issues The short answer is yes but with conditions.
According to the article on PILOT CET's blog your eligibility for a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) isn't determined solely by having had medical issues or surgeries in the past. What really matters is whether your health is stable now and whether you meet the DGCA's Class 1 medical standards. For example if you had an appendix surgery or a bone fracture that has healed fully without long term effects the DGCA usually permits you to pursue a CPL.
If you've had a past surgery or injury here are the practical steps you should take:
Gather all medical documentation: discharge summaries prescriptions test results.
Consult a DGCA approved medical examiner early on to check if your condition will affect eligibility.
Be honest about your medical history during the assessment. Hiding something could lead to rejection.
Demonstrate that your condition is stable healed or under control and that it does not compromise flight safety.
Your past surgery or healed injury may raise a few extra questions during your medical exam. For example:
Does the injury or surgery leave any residual effect on your hearing vision mobility or cardiovascular system
Might it affect your ability to cope with physical stresses of flying (e.g. pressure changes long hours reaction times) If the answer is no (i.e. you're fully recovered and stable) then you're good to go.
when asking Can I Pursue CPL if I Have Had Past Medical Issues the key is your current medical fitness and whether the past issue is fully resolved and documented. If yes, then having had surgery or a healed injury won't necessarily stop you from achieving your CPL and pursuing a career as a commercial pilot.
