Now these day/night test are general test and not skill test correct?
The Day , Night and IR check are the skill checks / tests . Form CA 40 B is used for the multi aircraft .
However the last line of point 1 of Part B (second Box) says that the skill test will be carried out in India for multi endorsement. Which test are these? are they diff from the day test/nigh test/ir check mentioned above in part A, point no. 8? do I have to repeat those in india?
In case CPL is requested only on Multi engine aircraft then skill tests on
the said type will be carried out in India
It has now been decided by the Competent Authority that all applications for issue
of Indian CPL will be accompanied with skill test reports on at least one aircraft type
required to be endorsed on the Indian licence in accordance with para 4 of the said CAR.
As you can see its clearly mentioned .
If you are getting both multi and single
Then Single to be done in India , Multi can be done abroad
If you are getting only Multi
Then Multi has to be done in India.
But then you will need to do the 1 hr day check ( skill test ) , 1 hr night check , 1 IR check
but also the 250nm VFR XC ( this is also a flying test )by and 120nm VFR XC ( also a flying test) by night also has to be done on multi .
Even though the flow chart does not mention it it clearly states in Schedule II
of the aircraft rules that XC test must be done on every aircraft that you want endorsed on your license ( sometimes the licensing officer skips this rule if you do xc checks on the single sometimes they enforce it for both multi and single , better to be on the safe side )
