FAA to DGCA conversion taking longer than 3 months, is this normal?
I applied for my FAA to DGCA CPL conversion in the first week of March, and it’s now been more than 3 months with no final update.
My application currently shows “Under Process with Deputy Director (DTL)”. I did receive a shortfall earlier, but I cleared it immediately and the very next day the status moved from Assistant Director to Deputy Director (DTL).
Now it’s been around 3 weeks at Deputy Director level with absolutely no movement.
I’ve already emailed dtl1.dgca@nic.in along with a few other Deputy Directors and Directors, but haven’t received any response.
Has anyone here gone through FAA → DGCA CPL conversion recently and knows:
- How long it usually stays with Deputy Director (DTL)?
- Whether delays of 3+ months are normal?
- Any phone number, alternate email, or better way to follow up?
Would really appreciate any help or recent experiences. Thanks.
