    Hello,
    The flying pilots are now not allowed to fly, if BMI is overweight for the second consecutive time. Hence, you should try to come down to a normal BMI range. Belly size will obviously come down in the process. And, it will not matter till the time you are in a normal BMI range. All the best.

    DGCA has now made their regulations very stringent. Even the flying pilots are now not allowed to fly if BMI is overweight for the second consecutive time. Hence, you should try to come down to normal BMI range. Belly size will obviously come down in the process. And, it will not matter till the time you are in normal BMI range.

    Hello,
    To become a Civil Pilot, first you have to clear all medical test, if you didn't they will not accept you and more obesity means more disease.
