Is it necessary to do recency in India from now on , the circular is so badly drafted that am left wondering as to what does dgca really wants.

I have a CPL ME on PA 34 + IR (only) from USA and what i have planned is as follows :
1. Go to US (have to go as recency is due), get the single commercial on Cessna 152 or 172 so that am eligible on opting for one skill test in India if commercial is endorsed on two aircrafts - i think it would be economical as well as easy to find a cessna here compared to PA 34.

2. Do all my recency from USA only as even my recency is due now - i cant seem to understand why getting a license would be impossible if recency is done abroad as dgca officials are saying.

3. If not - then i need to give the multi engine skill test here in India as well as do my recency here - dont know what flight schools charge here so no clue as to what would be a viable option.
This way i can save the single commercial training cost + trip expense to USA.


What to do?
