Do I really need the foreign CPL for the conversion exam?
yes you certainly need your foreign cpl to attempt cpl conversion exams in india
if you dont have then you will have to give general exams but still that can be used to convert your foreign cpl to indian
when i was applying for my exams, i had pass my cpl flight test but did not have cpl licence with me so i had to appear for general papers of met, nav and regs
