We have trained many Indian students who have subsequently converted the FAA CPL H to a DGCAA licence.
Not a piece of cake.


I have many friends in India who are in senior flying positions that we have trained and may help you get work when you return with your shiny new licence.
You don't get a commercial job with a shiny new one.
Secondly you need 100 hours PIC on type before you can engage in commercial transport.

I would also recommend a 44 conversion prior to returning as the 44 is becomming very popular in India for low cost commercial ops, a number of our recent graduates jumped into 44's on their return.
There are less than 10 R44 in the country............
And I know of at least one expat flying an R44 because there are no locals.
