Among other things, proficiency in English is also a must for converting a foreign license to an Indian one.<br \/>As per the new norm, the FRTOL issued by all Commonwealth countries would be considered for conversion\/issue of permits in India. But, these licenses must be accompanied by valid flight crew licenses issued by the same countries. In case a flight radio telephone operator\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s license is not accompanied by a valid flight crew license of that country, the candidate must take an internal examination conducted by the DoT on radio telephony communications, according to a government memorandum.<br \/>So far, valid flight crew license from the foreign country issuing the FRTOL was not mandatory for the conversion of FRTOL in India.<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 0, 0);\">09\/02\/08 Nivedita Mookerji\/Daily News &amp; Analysis<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: The Indian authorities have framed stringent rules for pilots and flight crew, for efficient radio-telephony communications.To prevent accidents<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indianaviationnews.net\/careers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
