Ans:-

For the role of a pilot a female applicant needs to clear the medical fitness criteria set by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). According to the article at the URL you provided, she must clear a Class 2 Medical Certificate when entering student pilot training and then a Class 1 Medical Certificate when applying for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). This medical evaluation covers eyesight (vision) hearing ability cardiovascular health and general physical fitness.

Physical Standards

In terms of physical standards the article states that the minimum height requirement is typically 152 cm (5 feet) for prospective female pilots though this may slightly vary based on the training aircraft. There is no strict weight limit mentioned; however the applicant's Body Mass Index (BMI) must fall within a healthy range, and she must meet overall physical fitness norms for safe operation of an aircraft.

Why it matters

These standards ensure that female pilot applicants have the physical and medical capacity to handle the demands of flying, including emergencies long duty hours, varying cabin pressures and high stress cockpit environments. It also ensures equal eligibility: the article emphasises that pilot eligibility for female candidates is exactly the same as for male candidates the criteria are gender-neutral.

In short, a female aspiring pilot must:

  • Clear the DGCA approved medical exams (Class 2 for student pilot stage Class 1 for CPL stage)

  • Demonstrate good vision hearing cardiovascular and overall health

  • Meet a minimum height (typically152 cm) and maintain a healthy BMI

  • Fulfil any additional physical fitness requirements as prescribed

These requirements form the medical and physical standards that a female must meet to be eligible under the "pilot eligibility for female" guidelines.
