[speedbird787]

as the title reads.......is it possible to renew RTR(A) on the basis of type rating , like 30 hrs in a flight simulator?

anybody has done that..or is that possible??

any ideas folks??

[koolchaos3188]

the requirement is 30 hours on an a/c not sim...

30 Hours of flying in the preceding three years.

So I am assuming it has to be an Aircraft

yes you guys are right but there is a clause in the below mentioned link

if you read carefully clause 5(iii) theres a sentence " by re examination or otherwise that he still possess all the eligibilities required for issue or renewal of such licences"

now i don't understand the meaning of the word" otherwise " in that sentence

does that otherwise mean " any other way or means to prove your proficiency"

which in this case is training on a SIM

They have stopped accepting SIM/LOFT/Suppy hours for 30 hour required for renewal...

SK GUPTA ,the person who visits reception for WPC RTR on Wed/Friday has stopped accepting those hours.All he and WPC want's is 30 hours on aircraft...they will not entertain if hours is on SIM or during Suppy's.

I have RTR (A) which is expiring in April 2013. I wanted to know do i have to give Part 1 again as i have not flown 30 Hrs in last 3 YRS. Can somebody plz advice what the procedure is as the WPC circular is very confusing. Thanks

If you have Indian RTR(A) which is valid for 5yrs, then for renewal there 3 options:

1. 30 hrs with in last 3 yrs

2. 3 months experience on ground radio staion

3. appear for part 1 only

Does that mean that i will get my RTR(A) renewed if i appear for part 1 without the rest of the requirements?..

[airtransporter]

Affirm...
Indian RTR (A) which is valid for 5yrs can be renewed by either option 1 or 2 or 3...
I had cleared RTR(A) examination (part 1 and 2 both) back in 2008. The license is valid for 5yrs.
I enquired about the renewal procedure... and they gave me this answer
I'm not sure whether the same rule is applicable for RTR(P) i.e. convert via foreign FRTOL

cheers!!
