I know many Indians who were issued licences by the DGCA on the basis of their FAA certificate and the FCC radio...
Further, if one wishes to obtain a licence issued by Transport Canada and that person already holds an FAA airman certificate then he/she may be issued a licence by Transport Canada after passing a simple 25 question written test... Oh and there is no need to pay a bribe or take sweets to TC
As for my golf balls..... I only use v1's
