Q.2 Which age group is this vaccine indicated for? g older adults and adults with comorbidities. In India, NTAGI recommends Omicron booster for individuals over 60 years of age and all adults who are comorbid or with weak immunity (immunocompromised). The composition of mRNA vaccines can be modified quickly which helps in fighting the emerging variants. Q.6 Are mRNA vaccines available globally? Over 450 crore doses of mRNA vaccines have been distributed in over 180 countries, preventing COVID since 2020, Q.7 How is this vaccine ...

fitness criteria for aspiring pilots

Pilot Fitness: Meeting DGCA’s Physical Fitness Standards for Aspiring Pilots A pilot’s role requires both mental and physical endurance, which makes physical fitness a crucial component of their ability to fly safely. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) sets strict fitness standards for pilots. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key fitness requirements for aspiring pilots, focusing on challenges like obesity, vision correction, and the need for overall health maintenance to meet DGCA standards. What Are DGCA’s Fitness Requirements for Pilots? The DGCA mandates several health and fitness criteria that every pilot must meet to ensure safe flying conditions. These standards focus on key areas such as weight (BMI), cardiovascular health, vision, and musculoskeletal fitness. Pilots must be capable of handling stressful conditions, long hours, and high altitudes. Managing Your BMI and Weight Control One of the critical fitness aspects for aspiring pilots is Body Mass ...
