A new bombshell from the DGCA
Apparently any hours flown as a FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR are not considered by their licensing department for conversion. You cannot log any PIC time as a flight instructor according to them.
So if I am teaching a private student WHO is the PIC ? The airplane ?
ICAO needs to be told of this ...
Even the 1937 rules says you CAN
67A
(10) A Flight Instructor may log as pilot-in-command the flight time during which he acts as an Instructor but the log entries shall indicate in the remarks column that the flight time was flown as an Instructor.
Everyone please send mails to
[email protected] (D.C Sharma director)
[email protected] (Ashutosh Vashishta dy director - this is the guy who claims you cannot log PIC)

^ That is the whole point. There is nothing on their website. But their deputy licensing babu in charge of cpl conversions told me and other applicants that they dont accept PIC hours from CFI's when we went to apply.
Idiots dont even know their own rules , thats why I encourage all to give your feelings to the email addresses given.
They deny licenses and harass genuine pilots with thousands of flights hours but gift licenses to their daughters who have never flown a plane. Babudom at its finest.

In CAA PLD if there are any howlers by clerks like this you can appeal for the Pilot consultation. In India one cannot even talk to the clerks and they have nobody to ask. Invariably this results in suffering for the pilot body for whom these people are working.
Mostly there are ex RAF pilots otherwise unable to fly i.e. medically down who are available for consultations by CAA. The same model could be used by DGCA?
