2. Further, the current ‘Guidelines for Conversion of Professional Pilot’s Licenses
issued in ICAO Contracting States into Indian Professional Pilot’s License (Commercial
Pilot’s License)’ allow for acceptance of skill test done abroad provided the test reports are
duly authenticated by a representative of the Regulatory Authority of the State where the
tests have been performed. It is seen that most State Authorities do not authenticate the
skill reports to meet the procedure laid down in the guidelines.
7. All applications received on or after 1st April 2012 shall be accompanied with skill test report carried out in India.
Well, So I guess with the FAA or CAA not authenticating your test reports! & DGCA making it mandatory for Skill tests to be conducted in India, You dont have much of an Option!
