4HP.......you do a great job man, but how do you find time to monitor the boards plus a full time flying job, not to mention life...??? Anyway, I suspect that mutt might behave himself a little more now...thanks....
mustang... If u dont have an Indian license yet, then you can either convert your Commercial or ATP to the Indian one....now the skill test for the license is usually done once you've passed the conversion exams, done your DGCA medical and either passed the Indian R/TR (Radiotelephony , restricted) license or converted to Indian R/T..... unfortunately the FAA R/T is not convertable.
Skill test for the Multi engine aircraft can only be done if the aircraft used for your foreign licensed multi is include in the Indian register (eg. baron, senaca,duchess,C-310etc..) the whole list can probably be found at dgca.nic.in( official website of Indian DGCA)....now the problem is there are very few operational multi training aircraft in India, so you'll have to call up the flying schools and check if their aircraft are operational...... and if your foreign Multi aircraft is not on the register , like a PA-44 seminole, then you're shafted...no Indian multi , meaning no Indian ATP ...you can only convert to an Indian CPL single......oh the rules are quite involved , especially for the multi and I hope you checked up with DGCA first before you went and did your flight training in the US or wherever.....
The FRTO is the DGCA equivalent of the R/TR which is actually issued by the Ministry of Communications(WPC cell), Sanchar Bhavan, N.dehi...so once you get an R/TR, then the DGCA adds on an FRTO to your license...
hope all this helps and Happy Landings
