I kind of like saw this coming . All the DGCA officers hinted that this would be made the rule soon all thanks to the FAKE PILOT SCAM
Not much of a difference than the old conversion chart .
The primary difference is if you want two types of aircraft ( multi and single ) endorsed on your license atleast one of the aircraft skill checks must be done in India
In Appendix I
(A) Applicants must obtain from foreign for submission along with application
If you look at item number 8 it states that the skill checks can be done abroad .
(B) Applicants need to do in India before submission of application:-
Item number 1 states that Single Engine skill checks has to be done in India .
It also states that if you only want Multi then the skill checks have to be done in India since you are only endorsing one single type of aircraft on your license .
@Intruder101
The multi skill checks and other PIC requirement can be done abroad but single engine skill checks have to be done in India . Contact a flying school ask them about the syllabus and other requirements .
I am guessing you will also need to hold an FRTOL and Student Pilot license prior to doing any recency flying in India
