Is the Ground Classes Certificate Required for writing the Type-Tech Exam in India?
Hi Everyone,
I plan to do my Initial Multi-Engine Rating on the Piper Seneca from abroad. I have heard that the DGCA is planning to introduce a new rule as per which a NOC for multi-endorsement wold only be issued if you clear the type-tech exam on the particular aircraft type in India (dont know when they plan to introduce this rule).
In view of the above, I was considering to write the PA34 type tech exam in the July attempt but was unsure if a ground class certificate is required to apply for this exam. Someone had suggested me that a ground class certificate is no longer required to appear for these exams. Appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Kind regards,

If you hold an Indian DGCA CPL then you will need to write the Specific exam
Only if you are converting your foreign license you dont need to write the Specific exam ( as of today but this rule can change in the near future )
You only need a ground class certificate if A/C you want to endorse has an all up weight of more than 5700 KG
Refer CAR , Section 7 , Series B Part 1 , ISSUE II 12th November 2010
7.6 Extension in the Category of a Pilot’s License
The applicant should have:
(a) Current license in the relevant categtory
(b) The aeroplane having all up weight more than 5,700 kgs or twin engine
helicopter are required to undergo Ground Training Classes on
Technical/Performance on the aircraft from DGCA approved Training
Institute.

Ground school certificate is required for all aircraft, irrespective of whether it's AUW is above or below 5,700 kgs. DGCA has not bothered to update this in the CAR.
my friend was asked to submit a ground training certificate for Pilatus PC-12/45 (AUW 4,500 kg)
