If you have got time on your hands, and you are not pressurised on recency, then you can self study. Forget about all the books, and syllabus, they are too broad. Get all notes you can from your friends who passed-full notes with question banks for the composite and regulations, see if can figure it out on your own.

If you want to pass in the first shot itself, or for a higher chance of passing , then you should go to a good teacher. People have recommended various good instructors on this thread. Please go through it, as opinions are different.

Badattitude it is not funny for me.The place where i m training you are always flying with an instructor and all the students here are logging as DUAL.But i dont know in India DUAL flying hrs are considered as pic or not.
If anyone can help me in this i will really appreciate.

the only dual flights considered as PIC would be your FAA checks and the flights done after your CPL on the type of a/c you've been checked out on.

oh and the non instructional flights where you were the "sole manipulator" of the controls!

you will obvioulsy have to false log your hours in order to satisfy the indian DGCA.

@ilsglider....I think you could get by with the computer no. application, (not the exams) if you have 10th math and flying hours-- coz ppl issue requirement is only 10th std ...and the computer no. is issued only once, please double check to make sure.

Update: fhe DGCA October session exams which were postponed to November due to whatever reasons, are now re-scheduled for December due to non availiability of the exams venue came across it today while checking the site.

@babboo ....

I understand exactly what you mean. but i think you can apply if you have an indian spl (see CAR below), some hours of flying, and ground instruction from india....

7.1 SPL / FRTOL-R / GPL

The applicant should have passed a minimum of 10
th standard or its equivalent examination from a recognized board.

CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION 7
SERIES ‘B’ PART I 23rd AUGUST, 1993

Rev. 4, 25th August 2008
7.2 Private Pilot Licence (PPL):
The applicant should have:
(a) SPL at the time of submission of application for allotment of computer Number
(b) 10 hours of flying experience at the time of submission of application for written examination
(c) Attended the ground training classes with DGCA approved Flying / Ground Training Institutes or Defence Establishments at the time of submission of application for written examination

@nikaviator

- there is no requirement for a computer no. for an spl.
- the CAR on the ppl is silent about the educational qualifications.
however, the Computer no. application form clearly asks for
the details of one having passed 10+2. if passing 10th was
good enough for ppl, then there would have been no column for
10+2 details - since this qualification is irrelevant.
- surely the rejected candidates
would have submitted their 10th certificates at least. if the 10+2
certificate is of no importance then the rejection
should have been on the grounds of the flying hrs not being there.

just my two bit. with dgca's great clarity on all matters, ilsglider
should be prepared for the worst eventuality !

DGCA looks horrible from the views of people,anyway this is the way how indian system works.Do you have any knowledge if any cessna-310 registered in india? Because FTO where i am flying has only C310 for ME endorsements.

The DGCA is one big maze, babboo, so are its CARS I didn't want to cut and paste the entire CAR concerned....people who are rejected are probably ppl or cpl atpl holders with foreign licenses as the CARS require them to have 10+2.

7.5 CONVERSION OF PILOTS LICENSE ISSUED BY FOREIGN AUTHORITIES
The applicant should have:
(a) Passed 10+2 standard examination with Physics and Mathematics Subjectsfrom a recognized Board / University or its equivalent examination.
(b) Valid Pilots License issued by Foreign Aviation Authority in the category theapplicant desires to appear.

NOTE: The requirements given in Para 7.5 (a) and (b) above should be met atthe time of submission of application for allotment of computer number in case of fresh applicants. In case, the computer number has already been allotted, the applicant should meet these requirements at the time of submission of application forwritten examination.

....but with indian spl, 10 hours and ground school it is probably ok as the minimum for issue of ppl in india is 10th standard


http://dgca.nic.in/schedules/section-f.pdf (this is for chopper)

That's why I wanted ils to double check if there's a way around it with indian spl, flying hours, etc.

ha ha ha very very true! Or maybe the govt. and the dgca have another plan on a whole new level !!! To reduce the number of unemployed CPL holders so the ones who have them can get a job in 2010.
