Foreign CPL Conversion

Converting a foreign Commercial Pilot License to an Indian CPL involves a structured process governed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of India. This pathway allows qualified pilots from around the world to fly commercially in Indian airspace.

Key Aspects of Foreign CPL to Indian CPL Conversion

  • DGCA Regulations:

    The conversion process is governed by Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) Section 7, Series G, Part II, which outlines the specific requirements for foreign license conversion.

  • License Verification:

    The DGCA verifies the authenticity of the foreign license with the issuing authority to ensure it's valid and in good standing.

  • Medical Requirements:

    Applicants must obtain an Indian Class 1 Medical Certificate from a DGCA-authorized medical examiner.

  • Ground Examination:

    Pilots must pass examinations on Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, and Air Navigation as per Indian requirements.

  • Flight Test:

    A practical flight test with a DGCA-designated examiner to demonstrate proficiency in aircraft operation and emergency procedures.

  • Radio Telephony:

    Obtaining a Flight Radio Telephone Operator's License (FRTOL) is mandatory for communication in Indian airspace.
