if the question you ask here can be answered by a simple google search, people will get annoyed.

some of your questions like [is a conversion needed?] will be promptly answered while others like [what is ATR?] leave a bad impression of you.

there are many good aviation sites out there like this: http://www.askcaptainlim.com/ the internet is a wealth of resources:)

Back to the Question: CHICAGO CONVENTION

The Question is simple:
As per the Chicago Convention, in order to be able implementing bilateral or multilateral agreements between States for Circulation of their aircraft, each State must crew its own aircraft with Pilots bearers of licences which fulfill the minimum requirements of Annex 1.
However, every State can add more requirements. As a consequence you must have a licence which is considered as acceptable by the Authority ruling the specific registered Aircraft. Each National Authority can fix its own rules of equivalence.
Also as consequence, all licences are ICAO compliant.
If an Airlines from one State is dry leasing an aircraft from an other State, as a consequence, the crew must obtain equivalence from the Aircraft Authority.
Personal example I have flown a B747 on lease from USA, being in a European Airlines. For this circumstance, I have gotten a FAA licence restricted to this particular aircraft and per equivalence with my European Licence.
If you want to fly an aircraft registered in a country XX, you have to ask to the Authority of this Country XX, if they accept your licence and under which conditions. It is the International rule set by the Chicago Convention.

Asian Frog,
must have been a long flight I just got back from ... but u sound like the spokesperson for UN ...man , :\ huh need to keep eyes open:8

No I am not a UN man, just an Instructor, making a memo on the "facts" relative to the question.
Everybody can complain and find a lot of reasons for dissatisfaction, but at the end it is relevant of State Sovereignty.....and each pilot should know that as it is part of the CPL studies. And also the correct answer to an individual on a specific demand is from the Authority which is concerned.
(Coming back to the very general wording of the question)

And taking into account the specific background, it is the privilege of indian DGCA to give an equivalence to an individual on his particular file. Only Indian DGCA can answer accurately.
Then after comes the mood of everyone... But it is an other question!
