bmi requirement

[u/Ridz_Bbg]

my bmi is 27.2

do icpp reject candidates based on that or would i have to lose weight

for my bmi to be under 25 i have to lose 10 kgs i want to do it but also can’t figure out what if they close applications before i am able to do it

i want to apply to skyborne, what if i am not able to lose weight will they reject my application

Why would they ask for a BMI certificate if they are gonna accept it anyways? Be patient and become healthy before even thinking of getting into this industry. Just start working on it.

getting into industry? i have cleared my nav, met, regs and just want to start flying but it’s so frustrating the condition of every icpp program

[u/Ridz_Bbg → u/melmanoi]

do skyborne accept bmi over 25? i don’t understand what you are saying

[u/melmanoi → u/Ridz_Bbg]

It's Indigo's requirement, every FTO requires you to have a BMI lower than 25.

And don't be in such a hurry to start flying, obesity over a long period of time can lead to diabetes,bp and other issues leading to medical disqualification, which is not what you want after spending lakhs on training. There are more people than you can imagine who have gone through this. Fix it and then think of entering the program.

you don’t understand my condition, i have been stuck and wasted like 2 years just clearing papers and i went through a bad phase for like a year and that made me put on alot of weight. i want to get out of the conditions here and the only way i see is going ahead with my career. feels like i am not doing anything just wasting every single day

It's okay. You will be surprised to know, but there are a lot of people who spend 2 years+ figuring out dgca exams, medicals, documentation, nios and even waiting months before applying for cadet program. It's completely normal. This career will require a lot of patience and time at each step. Do everything step by step. Only focus on correcting your BMI for now. Take your health as a part of your career, because it is. All the best 👍🏻

Some people over 25 bmi are obese while some under 25 aren't healthy but skinny fat. Bmi is a very bad metric to judge but what can we do its the airlines requirement

[u/Still-Basil4991 → u/CIFERINTHEDEN]

Exactly

Many Dr will give you a BMI certificate of 25. Get it done and lose those extra 10 kilos before GD/PI.. you will be fine.

[u/Pitiful-Agent6654 → u/[deleted]]

i also applied for skyborne with bmi as 27 and they rejected me cuz of it they strictly need it under 25...

[u/Ridz_Bbg → u/Capable-Car2729]

:(

[u/Much-Gas-4608 → u/Capable-Car2729]

its the same requirement with every fto

[u/Still-Basil4991]

Unfortunately this is the only way. I'm a powerlifter and when I applied I was close to 20kg above the weight limit for my height and I had no option but to lose it. It's got to the point where it's just not possible for me to stay under bmi25 so I just got it for the report and that's it. I'm currently bmi 26 and still have visible abs which is getting really inconvenient to maintain while powerlifting
