Yes ,
It will be just like HF RT, where Pilots and people in aviation in the favour of the Indian Subcontinent Forum will reach from FAR across the continents all over the world, thereby having to use HF as VHF falls just a wee bit short, of Range.
You need keen ears to listen to HF-RT and it kinda keeps you more alert on a routine day!! And hey Have you forgotten the SELCAL...Helps passing the info to the right people without others being stepped upon!
And Smoothie, I do agree with the fact that the Indian DGCA must have a fast track process or atleast a TRANSPARENT procedure to enable rated, type-rated pilots with Indian Passports to help the country in this swift expansion phase...
Also, I would love to be a CFI while being an Airline Pilot. Its been a while since I've done some steep turns ( >45 deg ) and MCA Flights on the 152/172/kingair's etc...
Cheers
