Flying after 65
Go to the CASA website to get the details of obtaining an Australian licence. The first thing is an ARN number, you can do this by fax. You will need a validation for your Indian licence and over the age of 65 you will not get a public transport validation because your Indian one won't allow it.. You get a CPL(H) private category validation. All you Indian qualifications and medical have to be up-to-date. Once this has been done you have to take the Australian CPL law exam and the medical. Finally a proficiency check by a CASA endorsed examiner. All this has to be done in Australia and can be done on a tourist visa. Keep the receipts and claim back the VAT. To work there requires a working visa and you will have to find an employer who will sponser you. I did it for an ATPL(H) but I got some guidence from my parent company. The licencing personnel are the most helpful I have ever known, Gatwick take note, and they smoothed the path somewhat.
