The standard procedure is to conduct approximately 10 hours of flying at a registered flight school, a CPL flight test with a DGCA inspector, another few hours of flying for the instrument rating and a separate flight test.

You'll also need to sit CPL and IR written test as well as both a practial and written radio-telephony exam.

If you're employed by an Indonesian airline or charter company, they'll probably organise all this for you and fast track the process.

Hi Training Wheels,
I'm aware that you have first hand experience on the flying scene in that part of the world and i found your posts to be very informative and helpful.

I would like to ask you the following in relation to your post for license conversions, as i noticed you have converted your icao license to the full local cpl/IR and you're flying with one of the carriers there.

(A) What type of aircraft is used for the 10 hours Cpl flying and flight test? Is it a C172?
(B) What type of multi engine aircraft is used for the Instrument Rating flight test?
(C) How many Cpl written tests are there to complete? Is it just one exam airlaw?
(D) What's the required pass mark for the exams and average waiting time for exam results to arrive?
(E) Does an appicant have to attend the local classroom courses for the required Cpl and I.R exam, or are there self study/distance learning courses available to study?
(F) If a person with an icao Cpl/IR license is accepted for a F/O position by one of the local carriers, how is the process fast tracked?
Does it mean a person "by passes" the above, through the type rating training course they're undertaking with their operator?

Appreciate any feedback and insight you may have, on the way the system is designed there, as the above tasks sounds like a long process.
I'm aware there's a popular flying school called "Bali Flight Academy" but i don't think they have multi engine training aircraft.

Appreciate your thoughts!
