DGCA, India has relaxed rules for helicopter pilots with more than 1000 hrs PIC to apply for CPL by flying 100 hours fixed wing as against the normal 200 hours for CPL.
can someone clarify the following pl :
1. Is it mandatory to obtain clearence from DGCA to fly abroad for building up those 100 hrs, come back & apply for CPL here in india?
2. I have 10 years multiple entry business/tourist (B1) visa for US. Can I visit n fly in US on this visa?
3. any schools in US that offers a package deal for 100 hours of pic + 25 hrs multi
4. if flying on B1 visa, is there any embargo on the expenditure involved in terms of foreign exchange regulations?
i'd be thankful if someone can xplain these to me.
