This is total Bull Sh t of DGCA.Every 2 or 3 months they come up with a new regulation/amendment which is capable enough to screw so many people.For e.g someone with foreign licence obtains RTR (A), he/she still needs to get an FRTOL issued by DGCA,but why? when you already have an RT permit (Which is the higher licence than FRTOL) why does one need to obtain an FRTOL?Just to pay the dgca 5k Rs? More subjects added,more documents needed = more money going into DGCA's kitty very simple(Bloody money sucking vampires).But ultimately these things are making the life of every single airman miserable!! Earlier exam fees for each individual paper used to be 50rs. its been increased to 500 rs. so 10 times increase in the fees!! If they are drawing more money in DGCA then why dont they spend it on the right cause (Employing more EFFICENT staff/Updating their systems for example) rather than filling up their pockets ( Which are so heavily loaded already that one day their pants will drop in the public !)


If DGCA wants to add more subjects then why doesnt it increase the frequency of conducting exams first or why doesnt it think of conducting an exam online at designated centers in various cities(Not only Mum,Del,Kol,Bal & Che) where a candidate can appear at will when ever he/she feels is ready.If DGCA wants to change/make changes i suggest they do it for better.This is yet another ploy to create loop holes in the system (Ironically the system itself has been created by DGCA).
