I beg to differ. It isn't mandatory to print the IR check form on the school's letter head.

@sam
there is no such 5 hrs day/night requirement.
for me all you need is
*mininmum 3 hrs skill test that includes- day check, night check and IR check
*minimum 10 hrs of training on the same type of a/c. (this includes your tests)

for recency the 3 hrs for skill tests is all thats required.

Babyblade: Verification of FAA License can be acquired from FAA website under Airmen certification - Verification of Airmen Certificate.Shoot them an email with required information and they will Fax/email you the copy of it.

For verification of Flying Institute contact your CFI and they will email you a copy of Air Agency Certificate issued to them by FAA.

As for the medical I have no Idea as I didn't submit that, But you can contact FAA and they will be able to help you with that.

Which form do I use for the Skill Test by Day/Night for the multi? Can someone confirm that it is the CA-40B(non-jet aeroplanes above 1500kg) ?
Also, my IR check duration on the multi is 0.8(48min) with 2 approaches as reqd by DGCA. That shouldn't be an issue and meets the minimums(which is 45min), correct?

Thanks in Advance.

Yup that sounds like the right form. Not sure about your other question.

your day/night checks can be done on CA-40 but i don't think there should be a problem if you have it on the letterhead of your school.
i quite clearly remember d.c. Sharma saying that IR check should be of 1 hrs atleast, don't panic i am quite sure these chaps don't remember their own words.

About logbook entries

Hi friends, I have the following questions regarding logging of flight time in Indian logbook format. I tried searching for answers on this forum but was unable to come across anything.

For Commercial requirements (on Single engine A/C):
1) Should I log GFTs as Dual or PIC?

2) Should I log cross-country checks as PIC or Dual?

3) If I can log the above two as PIC in a Single Engine aircraft, can I write them as solo (column no 2 & 4) in Form CA39?

4) I have done majority of my instrument time during the cross country checks (towards the 5hrs Instrument requirement). Do you think there should be a problem?

5) If a cross country consist of three legs with one leg shorter than 100NM (eg. 113-45-127NM). Can I log the whole flight time as cross country time?


For Multi Endorsement requirements:
1) Should I log GFTs as PIC or p1(U/S)? And can those hours be counted towards the 15hours recency requirement of DGCA?

2) Should I log the IR Check on Multi as PIC or Dual(U/T)?

3) Has anybody here been able to convert their license with less than 1hr of GFT or IR?


If you know the answers to my questions I will really appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you for your time.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply, flylikeaBE76. That clears many worries and doubts.

I tried calling DGCA today before asking here, but was just redirected from one official to another.

RECENCY india

hi guys
i had got my cpl ME -IR due to immense difficulty ! now in sept my ir on multi is lapsing . basically i have been left with the daunting task of maintaining currency on my licence.

if anyone could suggest
1. how to go bout it ?
2. since my ir is still valid how many hours must i do to keep my ir current.
(since everything else is valid on my licence
cpl ,single &multi engine endorsement till late 2015 .

3. now what if i do my ir recency on a single engine ? how will that come out in terms of jobs eligibility ? since i hav heard and seen tht airlines want licences to be valid at the time of joining ?
and indigo wants ME- IR to be valid at time of evn appearing for exams?
is this true ?
4. the only plus point i thnk for doing my IR recency on multi is that it will help only if a get a job on pa 34 in the future ?

5. does any one any good , straight forward school who would do multi recency asap ?

thnks

Now the question is can I do these 250 + 120nm xc checks on single eng or must I do this on a multi if I want the ME endorsement on my license ?
Also I have been flying with my students as CFI numerous cross countries ... I assume I cant count these towards my recency checks. Apart from the 15 hours pic of course.
I wanted to know if 0.8 is enough for multi GFT
