1.The Beechcraft Duchess is not accepted anymore by the Indian DGCA

2. A few friends came back from there with 200 multi and the DGCA rejected their application saying they want 100 SOLO on the single engine

3. Atleast in Indian Aviation the 200 multi is not going give you preference over someone who only has 25 multi
So no special advantage there....

Please have a look at the Pilot Career once again as there are 7000 unemployed pilots in India with a few thousand more in training and once you come back you will join the long list for a few jobs that are available

Please read these two news articles think twice before you step onto this career

Many a dream of flying high has crashed - Bangalore - DNA

Pilot job dreams crash as aviation suffers - Hindustan Times

Despite reading the above if you still wish to continue then atleast get an Indian DGCA Class 1 medical
Clear all DGCA exams after obtaining a DGCA Computer number

Clear the WPC RTR exam and obtain an RTR A license

And only then go abroad or India should wish to pursue this career

Dont forget that airlines in India charge around 18-20 lakh rupees for the cost of type rating which is over and above the cost of your CPL
