Aren't the DGCA a bit inconsistent??
They wont give an Indian licence to a non Indian national and now by this latest BS, they are not recognising any other ICAO issued licence.
We can all be sure though, if they go ahead then there will be no more accidents incidents in Indian registered aircraft.
When does the medical have to be carried out BTW? I guess before another FATA is issued.
I think the fighter pilot medical is not tough enough. It should be up to astronaut standard at the very least. A medical so stringent, only a world class athlete would have any hope at getting through.
Old story, get rid of the expats, upgrade the inexperienced and then you will see more smoking holes. What a bunch of baffoons.
