DGCA had given enough time to be prepared as according to their Public Updates they do on their website. It was issued in the beginning of May.
Pulkdahulk, care to locate this said public notice for me?
I quote from the pertaining CAR :
Conversion of CPL issued by Foreign Authorities: Written examination in
the subjects of Composite paper and Air Regulation. The Composite paper
shall cover the subjects of Air Navigation and Aviation Meteorology.
Now I know DGCA works is mysterious ways, but this will be quite a something even if they manage to pull it off!
