All you need to Know about DGCA CPL Conversion (DOs & Donts)

You have to pay extra 5000 for endorsement of IR on a new a/c

[viper005]

Hello..

I have flown 25 hours on a single engine a/c in India , also have passed my CPL subject papers along with Indian R/T ..however I do not wish to continue my flying in India.
I am aware that one requires Regulation , Meteorology and Navigation for conversion of his/ her lic. ; My query is would the DGCA consider all of my 5 papers whn they issue me a lic. or would only consider the above mentioned 3.
I have worked hard to pass my technical general and do not wish to appear again for it.
can anyone pls guide me through this..

Regards..Viper

As you said that u do not wish to continue your flying in India anymore, and also that u have cleared all your papers, then DGCA would not be having any issues in granting u your license once you have got a foreign CPL..

U'll just need to apply for the conversion and submit your 3 marksheets viz the Nav, Met n Regs...thats it

U won't be required to submit the Technical marksheet because the country u shall be flying in, will issue the rating of that aircraft on their CPL.

@Maverick03

Thank you for replying.. I am aware about the pprs required for the conversion of license in India..however my concern is about my technical ppr.. I have heard this but not sure thou that the guys who have done their CPL in India do not need to appear for the technical general ppr during their ATPL while the composite one have too..just need to get this thing cleared before moving ahead with my flying

First of all I would like to advise you that at this moment u should probably be concerned about from where u have to do your flying and how soon u can complete it so that u can get your Indian CPL and so that u become eligible to apply to an airline for a job.....worrying about your ATPL wouldn't be a good idea....

But anyways about your query...I am not sure about what u are saying is correct or not, but I don't think that CPL and ATPL papers have any kind of link...
I think you should get a second opinion mate..

@Maverick

you are absolutely correct would make sure I finish my CPL first... thnks

for the IR do we need to full fill 50 hrs solo xcountry or is it PIC xcountry?

[cyrilroy21]

@bayblade

Its given solo in the flow chart but on the CPL application form and even in the CARS its given as PIC cross country .
Just make sure the radius from the departure airport is 100nm or more and mention the distance flown for every cross country ( either total or one way )

[bayblade]

yes thats the reason i wanted to cross check it with guys here who got their licence converted recently.
thanks for your input.

[bayblade]

is IR required on SE and ME both or is MEIR just fine?
how do we generate verification letter of the flying school? (USA)

[LieDetector]

Does anyone know how long does it take for your license to be issued once it comes under processing?

[cyrilroy21]

I believe the time period right now is one and a half months for those who are converting their licenses .

For IR renewal and new aircraft endorsements not sure ......

[LieDetector]

That is from the date of submission, i meant once they open your file for processing.

[DJ Flyboy]

There is no fixed time can be 15 days or 3 months depends on their mood. Go to their office everyday and bug (beg) them..leave your ego at the door.

Multi Commercial Conversion

Hi ,
I have a FAA Multi Commercial as per requirements I did my 300nm/250nm/120nm X-country and all the checks on C-172 so for the conversion do I need to have a single engine add on or can i directly submit for conversion. I did my Private Instrument on C-172 .
I am also planning on getting a Canadian CPL and RTR as I have given lots of attempt at Indian RTR and could not clear so do u think its a good idea as I have been getting confusing ans from many people.

[cyrilroy21]

@candy0343

Yes the Indian DGCA will issue you a single engine endorsement on your CPL even though you only have a private single engine on your FAA license .

Just make sure that you do all the necessary skill checks and take off and landings by day and night . Also dont forget the IR check .

I do hope that you are planing on getting a Multi IR endorsed on your Indian DGCA license . Because airlines like IndiGo require the Multi IR endorsed on the Indian DGCA license ( and they seem to be the only one hiring frequently )

Now about converting to a Canadian license and getting a canadian RT

I am not an expert that topic but i guess its a good idea to get one as you can avoid the hassle of passing the RT exams .
There were quite a number of topics on this forum on converting and obtaining a Canadian CPL and RT

But it will take the WPC atleast 2-3 months for them to issue you an Indian RT license after you apply for one .

So when you apply for the RT license do it in person . Make a cover letter along with the application and get a " Received " stamp on it from the office.
This will act as proof that you applied for the RT license .

You can give this letter along with your DGCA application form . But the DGCA will only issue your Indian CPL once you get the RT license in hand and submit it at the DGCA office

@ cyrilroy21

Regarding the conversion of Canadian RT license,
Is it possible to apply for conversion on the basis of canadian PPL or does the CPL have to be endorsed on the License booklet.

Would save me some time of i can get the RTR before i finish the CPL here in Canada

Thanks

@stiknruddr

As far as I know you need a your Canadian cpl endorsed on your license.

[sunny_07]

cross country check documents, etc

first of all, i want to thank all friends here for being so helpful,

my question is, for the day/nicht/cross country checks,

do we actually need to do a seperate flight with instructor?

or can they just sign it coz we passed our flight test, and obviously we did dual cross countries with them at day and night too.

thanking you friends..
