    Hi Rashi,

    This question is a little outside the realm of most of the instructors on this site.  Wes Beard may be of some assistance with this one thanks to his experience training international students.

    I’m suprised no one at your company’s training department has not been able to offer you more guidance.

    A little more information would be helpful.  Are you operating under Part 91 or Part 121 / 135?
     
    If you are operating under Part 121/135, your company has approved check airmen that can administer a proficiency check.
     
    If you are operating under Part 91, you will need to contact the FSDO for Asia and talk with them on what to do.  Most likely, you will need to visit a training center where qualified check airmen can give you a 61.58 check.
     
    It is a little strange to have to obtain a 61.58 check when your able to act as pilot in command now due to passing your A320 type rating only a couple months ago.  My best guess is that you are operating under 121/135 and need to talk with your company.

    You need an A320 sim. maintained in accordance with FAA regulations and an instructor/check pilot who is certified by the FAA to conduct a “PROF CHECK” in such a sim. Certainly such beasts exist in Europe – but as to exactly where……
     
    All I can say is call Flight Safety International – if they can’t hook you up then I can’t imagine who can.
