Dont wait for IndiGo/CAE to respond. They WILL NOT. Your renewal can be done on a 172 if thats what youv gotten endorsed as your SE aircraft.
And do it fast cos A. You may not get a date for your renewal flights easily. B. You need to submit the paperwork to DGCA and they will take 20 days approx to return your license(renewed) to you.
Be assured, that if at ANY point during this entire selection process until your joining IndiGo, your CPL or your medical is in an 'expired' state, CAE will not think twice before dropping you off the list.
Do not go by someone telling you "chalta hai" "talk to so n so, and they will let you" etc.
You are within the 6 months of your CPL expiration date.
1. Call up 2/3 clubs. Check rates
2. Schedule your checks.
3. Fam flight, day check and night checks needed.
4. IR renewal not required.
5. Cost could be 35000 to 45000.
6. Submit paperwork to DGCA.
7. Make sure you get your licence renewed by April.
Ok.. forgot to mention this.. DGCA may not accept your renewal application more than 15 days prior to the expiry date on the license.
But your checks can be done within 6 months of that date.
So you can submit the license renewal application 15 days before. Now.. If you have a valid reason to show DGCA that you need to submit it for renewal say a month early then you will need to furnish documents supporting that reason and take an NOC from them and they will do it for you earlier.
^This im telling you cos you dont know what date your interview will be on after CASS. It could well be in April and you may be in a tight spot.
