ATPL VIVA JUNE 2015
hello,
I gave both, but cleared only Nav, there were two people on the panel. I was asked the following
MNPS: where do they exist, I had read only about NAT MNPS so told them Atlantic Ocean,but he wasn't satisfied
Difference between RNAV and RNP
In Dubai if we lose RVSM capability and are out of radar coverage how much will we have to deviate to get out of the airway? I don't know the answer to this one, please let me know. I said it should be 15nm but he said we will get into another airway.
Going from Bom to Cok out of radar coverage have to deviate 50nm due weather will we climb or descend?
Can we fly Anoli1A if we do not have gps?
Variation line in Jeppesen
If we have blocked AOA probes what do we do to ADR? A320 question
If we enter a speed lower than green dot in the fmgs will the aircraft decelerate?
On a 3 degree GP what is our height at 4.5 nm
What is the ROD on a 4 degree GP if GS is 120kt? I couldn't get this one either, please let me know

hey shivam
i am not quite sure with the last question but i believe the answer to calculate rate of decent could be 800feet per minute
ROD= GP ANGLE MULTIPLY GROUND SPEED MULTIPLY 100 DIVIDE BY 60
HOPE IT HELPS.

hey guys
this perhaps is the wrong thread to share , but had to discuss it guys before i go any further into it
This is regarding the concept called as frozen atpl , i dont understand the reason why the written and orals validity is 5 years and then if lapsed we go over it again already being competent enough to pass it once just because the flying requirements are not fulfilled in the particular time frame thats my main question here,
compare it with the west(USA and Europe) where you only pass and slog it out once and then whenever you fulfill the flying requirement you get it issued .
i dont see any good reason that why the papers should lapse , secondly i do know even in the airlines the co pilots are just about managing to finish the requirement in about 5 years time from the time of induction forget about the guys who are not employed yet.
So i did make an attempt to right it to concerned authority stil waiting for the response but let me know guys if this is making any sense , i just want a provision to be made something like the atpl frozen or may be the written validity could be renewed.
the advantages would be more qualified people in the market who just dont have the hours and the cpl guys would be motivated to study even further while they look for employment and the overall standards of theoretical knowledge would improve.This is not a selfish motive lot other guys in the flying and waiting to get hired will get effected.

hey
this was the mail i had put in a couple of months back to the authorities:
Good Evening Sir, I am an Indian commercial pilot license holder, like many other fellow pilots I was also looking for a job just after finishing my training but I soon realized that there are not many jobs in the market for fresher's, finally sir the only way to get into the airlines is either i pass my ATPL papers with oral exams or go for a type rating to get some preference among others, since sir I was not financially stable I gave the atpl exams.
I passed my orals and my papers are valid for 5 years now just need to fulfill the flying requirements for issue of Atpl.
Sir now the problem comes that even pilots within the airlines and the ones without the airline jobs need to get the required flying hours which becomes challenging especially for the fresher's like me.
As sir there are a lot many cpl holders with papers passed but sir over the time most of us are not able to fulfill the flying hours within the time span and have to attempt everything again.
Therefore sir my only request to you is if in case pilots have passed the atpl papers and there validity is coming to an end if it can be renewed or if there could be a provision for frozen atpl issue, just like in Europe and USA, so that the pilots just need the required hours to issue the Atpl and don't have to pass orals again since there competency is already been checked once while passing the orals and the frozen atpl can be renewed.
From the pilots and airlines point of view also it could create a difference as it will become an added advantage for the airline and encouragement to the cpl holders also the training standard will also improve sir in terms of theoretical knowledge. Request you sir to give it a thought once.
WarmRegards

The FAA ATP written used to be valid only for 2 years . Since the ATP CTP program has come up and it became expensive to write the FAA ATP exam the validity has been extended to 5 years.
In Europe if its been more than 7 years since your IR expired then you have to give the ATP papers all over again.

What about the written?
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day and end of 2017!
What book(s)/ questionnaire(s) etc. would you recommend to pass the ALTP written? I have gotten mixed opinions about this; some recommending OXFORD and some others pointing me towards the Keith Williams question banks and Sahil Khurana notes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
Anirudh

DGCA ATPL ORAL QUE
An appeal to all those who have cleared/ appeared for the Oral part of the ATPL Examination which the Indian DGCA conducts from time to time :
Kindly take some time out, try to recollect and post a few questions here, that you were asked on that fateful day.
Could be anything ranging from a general idea as to how the session progressed to verbatim questions as barked out by the people on the panel.
---All in an effort to try an create a bank of questions, which could prove useful to the others in our fraternity.
