The duration of training will be 74 weeks for flying and technical branch and 52 weeks in case of Non-Tech branches. However, this period is subject to variations. The training at AFA demands a very high level of physical fitness. Outdoor activities are given equal importance as academics. Failure to achieve the desired standards in outdoor training and academics will result in termination of your training. Therefore, it is in your interest that you are physically and mentally prepared to undergo the rigours of training.
You will be required to participate in athletics, cross country and games, so you should keep yourself fit to undertake physical exercise like sit-ups, push-ups, short and long distance running etc. If you have any sportswear/ equipment like football boots, tennis racquet or golf sets, please bring them along with you. The minimum standards expected at AFA are given below.
You are required to maintain your medical fitness throughout the training. Your medical examination was conducted at Air Force Medical Establishments to ascertain your medical fitness as per laid down standards (including body weight) before reporting for pre-commissioning training. Another medical examination would be held immediately on your arrival at AFA and these standards will be reconfirmed. You will be admitted for training only if you are found medically fit as per the laid down standards. In case you are found medically unfit (including on grounds of obesity) on arrival at AFA, you shall not be permitted to commence training and will be routed back. Please be particularly careful about your weight which should be within permissible limits of your ideal body weight as informed to you at Air Force Medical Establishments.
