Hello friends,
I will be going to the states to study for FAA CPL.
I have few questions:
- what courses/classes shall i take so when i return the conversion to DGCA would be easy. (any advise/pitfalls to avoid would be appreciated)
- i have read there are some extra exams that need to be done by DGCA (called the DGCA conversion exams). what subjects do they consists of and where can i find study guides/questions online for self study, any CBT (computer based training) would be helpful.
- any extra flying hours or special flying courses that need to be done to ensure smooth transition?
- are the same logbooks used when flying between countries?
=====
in addition, i have heard about FAA -> JAA helps in job search, has anyone done these conversion?
last, to get a job as a pilot in US, INDIA, UK, etc must one be a citizen/residence of that country?
