1) What exactly are these General Flying Test Day/Night? are they similar to the the flight test/check ride we do abroad?
what are the maneuvers we need to demonstrate on these GFT?
is it whats mentioned on Form CA40 for single engine and
Form CA40B for a multi engine
GFT are Form CA40 and CA40B for multi engine. I wouldnt be too worried about performing up to flight test standard.
2) Whats an IR check? again does it include all those items mentioned on Form PILOT PROFICIENCY CHECK/ IR CHECK
IR check is instrument check. Now if you already hold an instrument rating on your foreign license then you will NOT be required to undergo IR check in India.
3) What are the requirements for an IR on Indian License?
just 2 approaches with instrument and x country hours or do they require an actual IR endorsement on our foreign license?
To get IR you require 50hrs (100nm) x-country flights. 40hrs instrument, Max 20 on sim. Also, within 6 months 5hrs instrument on acft. IR Check should include atleast 2 approaches with one precision an one non precision. You do NOT require IR on foreign license, however then you will have to get IR check in India to issue IR rating on Indian License.
