Indian RT Exams & RT Conversion
Indian RT Exams & RT Conversion
Hello,
I have a few queries regariding converting my Philippines RT licence to an Indian Licence
The Fee for the conversion has been increased from Rs 50 to Rs 5000
After the submittin my docs to WPC they issue me a FTRP
This is valid as long as my Philippines CPL is valid.
I can use this FTRP for my CPL conversion (Please correct me if i am wrong)
After that what is the next step to get an Indian RT licence
1) WPC exams – Part 1 or Part 2?
2) What exactly does the Part 1 Contain?
3) What exactly does the part 2 contain?
4) If in a particular attempt i pass the part 1 and fail in the part 2, do i hav to reappear in both The parts for the next attempt
5) Also could some one please guide me on to a good tutor for RT Classes
Some people told me that i have to Pass the Part 1, and then resubmit my FRTP licence to get an Indian licence with 3 years validity, then later on pass the Part 2 for a permanent licence...
I am pretty confused at the moment, Next week i am going to be applyin for my FRTP.
Hope some one can shed some light on the correct process
Thanks a lot

1. Both part 1 and part 2
2. Part 1 is a 15 minute Radio Telephony over an artificial circuit
3. Part 2 is an interview
4. Yes, And ideally they should revoke any existing RT permit if you fail in part 1
or part 2, but luckily they are not as agile.
5. If you have flown 200 hrs in real aircraft doing real RT, you don't need a
tutor, you can just find any friend who has passed such exam in a fair manner
and he will be a good enough guide, also since the phillippines RT is valid only
for a year its a good idea to get an Indian RT, which I guess now a days can
be availed for lifetime depending on how much fee you pay.

A small correction. No foreign RT can be "converted" to an Indian RT.
What you along with many others are basically doing is Applying for a PERMIT on the basis of having a valid FRTOL issued by a Commonwealth nation.
3) The interview is vague. Expect anything. and I mean .. anything.
You will face two brief interviews. One with a DGCA guy and another with a WPC guy, usually the Regional WPC head.
The chief of the WPC RLO is usually the one who determines pass/fail in most cases.
(So you now know who is the man to approach for some sympathy or "help".
)
i) It could be a breeze .. you might be asked your name, qualifications and family background and a few basic questions on airspace rules, instruments like altimeter, airspeed indicator etc and maybe some questions from Indian Regulations.
ii) It could be a tough ... he might hand you a pencil and paper and ask you to do some calculations based on ohm's law, kirchoff's laws, circuit diagrams of NPN, PNP amps, zener diode etc. Ask you to identify a zener diode, transistor etc etc. Not a big deal if you've been through engineering college (and attended classes) or taken basic electronics subjects in college.
iii) It could be a joke... they could simply ask vague questions .. question after question after question to flummox you and finally fail you and wish you all the best for the next attempt !
Good Luck !

RT permit renewal
I want to ask you guys what the procedure and requirements are for renewal of Indian RT. I have an Indian rt permit issued on the basis of commonwealth cpl+frto i.e. direct conversion. The Indian permit is due to expire early next year.
What are the requirements for me to renew the Indian permit?
If I have the necessary recent experience i.e. 30 hours within 3 years from date of expiry, can I directly apply for another renewal? Or is it necessary for me to sit the RT exams?
Conversely, If i do not have the recent experience requirements, what do i have to do to apply for a renewal?
