Time for the twice yearly flight physical for my FAA license. I am flying to Mumbai tomorrow afternoon which is a 1:45 minute flight from Delhi. There I will be picked up by a hotel courtesy car and driven to this very nice 5-star hotel that is near the airport. From there I will have a transport of some kind, probably a taxi to the doctor's office in Mumbai. After the physical exam, it will be time to return to the airport and fly back home. All of this is paid for by my employer in order to keep track of my fitness to fly. This will be my first airline flight within India's borders so I am anxious to see what this is like and to be able to look out the windows more as we travel across this big country.
Looks like my next company flight is next Sunday and we have just had a new rule implemented that we cannot use any contract pilots for our company as per the India government ruling so now we are quickly trying to hire another captain who will possibly fly both the Citation XLS and the new Challenger 300 that is coming on line soon.
Will try to take some pics and put them up from this trip.
