Security Clearance
Fully agree with Left Wing regarding preparing for the exam. What he left out thought is that unless you are Indian you need a security clearance before you can pass these tests. Written and Medical not sure, but certainly before you can do any flying in India, which includes your flight test, you need this magical security clearance. The airline that hires you can get that in a month. Some canadian guy who has a PIO (Person of Indian Origin) card (you can get that by marrying an Indian or having an India parent) took 11 months (ELEVEN MONTHS )!!!! to get it because he applied as an individual. Don't have a PIO ? Forget trying to do it yourself. That's the catch 22 situation in India. You have to either have the Indian license in which case you are sucked up into any airlines of your choice, or have the TR and time on type. Hope this helps.
