Multi Add on help required please.
Heya,
I was hoping to get some advice on acquiring a ME-IR add on to my DGCA CPL.
I have a ME-IR FAA CPL and SE-IR DGCA CPL. I had done my training on the BE-76 and when i came back to the country to convert my license, it was no longer accepted so i just converted the SE part of it.
Currently looking for a good school to go and do the 10 hours of flight time on a PA-34 in the states preferably, since it is so expensive in India.
Couple of questions:
-I am no longer recent with my flying (both VFR & IFR), of course, so will I have to get recent first and then undergo my training? I'm going to guess yes, right?
-I have to renew my RTR (A) as well since it expires this year and I passed in the batch just prior to the "lifetime" rule... Now I've done 20+ hours in Baramati for my SE recency. Will the 30 hours rule apply to me even though I am doing these remaining 10 hours in another country? or will I have to give Part 1 again?
-Could someone recommend a school for the above training that isnt too strict with their "programs" and would allow me to pay for exactly what i need and not the extra things that are part of these said "programs" ? This is a longshot, the primary thing is the quality of training and their operation.
I've got some more questions but I'll wait for these to be answered first.
Thanks in advance for the help.

You need to first pass the DGCA Tech Specific for the PA 34 before you start flying anywhere ( especially since your FAA Checkride was on the BE 76 )
You need an English Language Proficiency (ELP) endorsed on the CPL license as well prior to flying anywhere
For the RTR A renewal they are now accepting 30 hours within the last 5 years . Does not matter if the hours are flown in India or the U.S . You need to show a gazetted officer attested copy of the logbook and a certificate on the flight school's letterhead showing how many hours you flew there
You need to do about 11 hours of flying on the PA 34 ( or any other aircraft ) for multi endorsement
Flying the PA 34 can be expensive in India . Chimes and another school charge about 45,000 an hour
A new school in U.P called Falcon Aviation charges about 37,500 an hour
It might be cheaper to do it in the U.S but you need to factor in the cost of airfare , visas , accommodation etc and then compare which makes better financial sense
Please remember that all your licenses including RT , medical ,ELP etc have to be valid before you start any flying
I heard that the P 68 C costs about 30,000 rupees an hour and hence might be cheaper to do it on that
You will still need to pass the Tech Specific first
Contacting a few flight schools and getting a quote for different aircraft should help paint a better picture

The reason i want to do it abroad is mainly because of the RT being expired.
Since I do not need one to fly in the States, it works best as i can come back with a total of 30 hours in 5 years and renew my license.
If Im not mistaken, in order to fly in Canada, I will need a Canadian RT right? If yes, would you happen to know the cost?
Another reason is that i already have my visas in place and flight tickets cost me nothing thankfully, so just the 11 hours works out ALOT cheaper for me if i did it abroad. Also my staying is free if I were to go to Canada.
This is the first time I've heard of needing an ELP on the license before flying. Do both the FAA and Canadian authorities require this even though I have my FAA CPL? Or is it only required for flying on the DGCA license?
Sorry if that is a stupid question, I'm a bit confused about this ELP scenario.
Thanks again Cyril.

As you already have a India CPl you need to pass the Technical Specific of the a/c you want to endorse.Since there are a couple of schools with P-68,you can bargain.MPFC has a barron G-58 with Glass cockpit and they charge the same as the P-68.
