Tech is basic of a/c structure, controls, Engines including jet engines, Basics of different systems etc.

For Nav they'll ask from everything including CP/PNR. Then numericals will be of very simple numbers and will be there to judge if your concept is right.

Radio aids will focus on workings, errors etc of various devices and again numericals will be very basic in nature.

Ques-what is the requiremnets for
1. CAVOK
2. SKC

I think cavok is 10 km vis and no clouds base below 5000 and no TS FG etc.
But can someone put some light on SKC

Cool

they will try to cover most subjects in a variety of questions...
brushing up everything you have learned is the way to go.
cp pnr is one of the key concepts of flying ... which cannot be not-asked in selection examinations.

anyway

SKC is sky clear ... no clouds
is used to indicate the cloud amount
amongst sct bkn ovc
or
sky conditions
amongst cb tcu clr-sky clear below 12000' AGL i.e. because when u speak of clouds its always above ground level.

CAVOK
is ceiling and visibility ok
which indicates VIS is 10k+ with no shallow fog
usage mostly vfr
no cloud below 5000' or lowest safe which ever is higher

CAVU
is c & V unlimited
same thing but no clds below 10000'
usage mostly ifr

Does the radio nav includes the basic equipment like NDB/ADF, VOR, ILS, MLS, DME, TCAS etc

or we have to study others like INS, IRS, GPWS, EFIS, FLIGHT warning also????

@azax

ok, so if conditions are
8km+ Vis and NO CLOUDS what would be mentioned in METAR?

Is it still going to CAVOK or SKC

Unhappy

its an indian airline recruiting -
so i think they might require indian pilots to know nav topics that
the dgca expects us to know...
so i am guessing yes questions on all nav and radio aids could be asked

but certainly not IRS and |INS


and as for the forecast

VIS 8K
or 8000
SKC

both will be mentioned

stall depends on angle of attack and not on airspeed. so will stall at the same IAS at any given altitude.

There is a question in the other thread which is raising alot of confusion..I would like to ask it here-

Will an aircraft descend faster in headwind/tailwind?

An airplane can stall at ANY speed at ANY altitude.

As long as Angle of Attack is exceeded, the airplane will stall.

The question doesn't make sense unless of course it has been taken from some DGCA "question bank".

where does the stall on a wing occur first? wing tip/wing root?
does it differ for swept wing/washout wing?
thnx in advance

Yup.

The Indicated Stall Speed would always remain the same , its just that the TAS would be higher at higher altitudes.

How to put an exact figure to it based on the data given i do not know.

wing roots are the first to stall.. that is because in case of a stall, the ailerons which are at the wing ends will still be functional..

As far as RATE OF DESCENT is concerned, winds have no effect.

(If that is what you're trying to mean by asking which aircraft will "descend faster").

Not really.

The airplane can be made to stall at various indicated airspeeds.

@ Sierra2467

Ideally we would want the wing root to stall first, so we still have aileron effectiveness to help in a stabilized recovery.

In swept back wings , unfortunately there is a tendency for the wing tip to stall first due to span-wise flow. One solution considered was using forward swept wings, but this causes excessive 'wingtwist'

Stall strips, Washout etc are used to ensure that the airfoil would stall first at the wingroot
