Ilyushin, I have had to deal with different CAA's on 3 continents and I have learned they are all bad. Whether it's "first" or "third" world they all make incredible mess ups.
But seriously, if anyone knows a way around this DGCA license restriction it would help me out a lot. I'm sure it's something that can be solved on site but I am not in the mood sitting on my keister for a year or so in Indo sorting out bureaucratic nonsense.
