About DGCA Class 1 Medical Tracker (India)
Medical validity is the least forgiving clock in aviation: the day it lapses, every other qualification goes dormant with it. For Indian commercial pilots, the rule is: Indian Class 1 medicals run 12 months (6 months beyond age 60) at DGCA-empanelled centres, with the eGCA portal holding the record. The tricky part is the calendar-month arithmetic interacting with age bands — validity is to the end of the expiry month, and crossing an age threshold mid-cycle changes the next interval. This tracker stores each certificate (and its satellite requirements like ECGs or the BasicMed course) with its true expiry date, turns badges amber 60 days out, and headlines the next due date. Indian pilots juggling eGCA slots and empanelled-centre availability need every one of those 60 days.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a DGCA Class 1 Medical (India) valid?+
Indian Class 1 medicals run 12 months (6 months beyond age 60) at DGCA-empanelled centres, with the eGCA portal holding the record. Validity runs to the last day of the expiry month, not the anniversary of the exam — an exam on the 2nd and an exam on the 28th of the same month expire together. Enter the computed expiry here once and stop re-deriving it; the badge does the watching.
What happens if my medical lapses?+
Your flying privileges pause until a new examination — there's no grace period for exercising privileges, though scheduling the exam after lapse is perfectly legal. Indian commercial pilots with employer rosters face stand-down the day validity ends, which is why this tracker's amber window is sized for booking lead times rather than for optimists.
Do I need to carry the certificate when flying?+
Yes — DGCA requires the medical assessment to be valid and producible alongside the licence; for airline crew the operator's document control verifies it each roster cycle, and eGCA holds the official record. This tracker is your personal early-warning layer on top of the official system.
Do I need an account or internet connection?+
No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — all records are kept in local storage on your device and all calculations run in your browser. The trade-off is that data does not sync between devices, so export the CSV file when you want to move or archive your records.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full medical validity record as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your training folder, or import it into any electronic logbook program. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
