Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday issued guidelines to assess the fitness of transgender pilot applicants.
The move comes weeks after transgender trainee pilot, Adam Harry, had alleged that he was denied a commercial pilot’s license because he was undergoing hormone therapy.
However, on July 13, the DGCA had invited Harry to apply again and said that a transgender person can be issued a ‘fit’ medical certificate, provided there are no associated medical, psychiatric, or psychological conditions.
