Wondering if i could fly in india as a hobby with a JAR PPL. Also if anyone has the hourly hire costs for a c152/182/pa28 in india.
Many thanks

It is up to the State of the aircraft registry to decide what privileges (if any) a given license carries in that aircraft.
If the aircraft is registered in India, it is up to the Indian CAA to decide whether a JAR-FCL license is acceptable. You need to find them ;) and contact them. Or, if you can find an aeroclub down there, they might be able to tell you.
I would expect India to do a local validation of a JAR PPL.

I collected and ferried back an old Citation 2 jet from India Ok it had been placed on the N reg and I was flying under an FAA ATP and type rating but a hint :rolleyes:
I was taken by car across New Delhi and informed by a handling agent that no customs export had been arranged. I asked how long that would take and was informed 4 days! I told them I wanted the aircraft out of India that day for my first leg to Pakistan. " You Must pay" $100 had the whole thing sorted in 3 hrs and I was away.
In that part of the globe anything can be achieved but take some $s with you :E

Yes, an N-reg can be flown worldwide on an FAA license.
Only $100 ??? That was cheap ;)

That was what I thought. Anything more and I would have had to have got approval from the ferry company.
Pakistan was scary with 3 armed guards each to me and my co-pilot and in Pakistan sandwiches did the job so even cheaper :) standing over what was described as a loo with three guards holding machine guns was another thing :{
Arab countries back to $s :) Especially Egypt
