Title: Hi..general question
Post by: salil on April 30, 2007, 06:35:51 AM
Hi everybody

Im Salil from India. Im interested in hobby flying and would like to obtain a private pilot licence. if I obtain a PPL from say India. can I use the same PPL to fly in any country?
Secondly, i'd like to know if it is possible to go on with an engineering career and learn flying simultaneously, say once or twice a week? I'll graduate as an engineer in 2 months.

Regards
Salil

Your license is governed by the country you obtain it in and most likely will allow the use of aircraft registered in your country.  You will also be allowed to cross borders as long as you abide by the regulations of each of the countries.

If you are wishing to visit another country (i.e. U.S.A.) you will need to have your license tranferred which can take up to 90 days.  For more information see the topic listed below...
