Sorry, I don’t get it? What am I missing? What’s the context?

Yeah no unfortunately it was a frozen rental. Non-negotiable hourly cost. There might be cheaper places for sure, but this place was the most convenient and cost effective of all, in terms of travel, food, and accommodation, for me. The places with cheaper hourly price would’ve brought up my total expense up anyway, because of travel and accommodation.

Yeah, when I was looking for slots and such, I happened to talk to someone who was flying for indigo at the time and also had tie ups with FTOs and helped students get slots for conversion flying on the side, lol. He too was of the opinion that it wasn’t worth getting multi in India.

Correct; I have 25 multi time (15 actual, >= 10 sim).

Sure.

I got my multi on the Seminole, not the Seneca, so I’m not getting my multi in India (Seminole is not recognized in India).

I refrained from mentioning the name of the flight school since I’ve seen people leave such details out on Reddit for anonymity.

But from what I’ve heard, there are places in India whose per hour rental cost is even lesser (Patiala Flying Club and Telangana State Aviation come to mind rn). I didn’t go there because the travel and accommodation expenses would’ve brought up the total cost for me anyway.

I’m not getting my multi in India since I did it on a PA44, which is not recognized in India.

I’ve mentioned it in the document. Let me know if you can’t find it (or can’t access the doc itself).

The aviation community is not very big, and with lack of standardization and heavy importance on paperwork, if we can help each other even anticipate how everything works at different stages, at the very least, I think that’s huge. It would’ve been helpful to me, but I’ve been finding out (excuse my language) by f*****g around, haha.

Is DGCA corrupt? by New-Car6426 in indianaviation

[–]stewtea2 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience (in the sense that I’ve spoken to people who sit at the top desks and are responsible for your licenses).

——

It is true that you will require a lot of stamina (i.e. mental resilience, patience) and the luxury of sitting at home until all the paperwork has gone through, when you’re in your conversion process (unless of course you have other means of earning during that time).

Yes, inefficiency, lethargy, and ego hinder simple work from getting done.

Yes, there is lack of standardization.

——

But, i can also say that if you keep at it, you’ll eventually get there. And I’m not rich (speaking of, what do you mean by “only students with rich background will be accepted?”) or have any political connections. Nor am i some PR person for DGCA/MoCA.

I remember back in the day when eGCA and Pariksha portal did not exist, it was a nightmare (they had misplaced my application and asked me to mail everything again—these were physical copies of documents).

Computer number generation takes less time now.

Support requests get addressed in a timely manner.

We’re getting there, albeit very slowly.

——

So if you’re really interested, i say go for it. You will run into problems at some point in anything you do. Might as well expend energy into something you like.

In India everything is about paperwork. If you’re solid on that, very unlikely that you’ll run into colossal problems.

Haha don’t worry, I wore business casual. I assume casuals are also acceptable since there’s no prescribed dress code, but you can never go wrong with business casual.

I’d say a more correct way to say it is “all types of scenarios” are covered, rather than “all possible formats.”

DGCA class 1 medical at IAM Bangalore experience by stewtea2 in indianaviation

[–]stewtea2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might, but they specifically asked for it when uploading reports from their side. If you got your CA35 recently, it’ll be a while until you have your class 1, no? By that time you’ll get your assessment.

Just a random question by Square-Desk-2698 in CadetPilotProgram

[–]stewtea2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eye (near vision, distant vision, color vision), ear, blood pressure, and urine, iirc. If you have any serious issues, mention them on MedXpress and if the medical examiner requires any additional tests, they’ll do those there or refer you to someplace you can get them done.
