one wonders what kind of applicants sat for the exam, if they can not answer such basic stuff related to flying.
Well, mate even helicopter pilots sat for the same exam. So, DGCA should look after them also. And trust me there are no flaps in a helicopter.
I know couple of experienced pilots (thousands of hours in heli) who got stuck in the exam but passed after DGCA took corrective measures.
Also, inclusion of such questions in the exam just shows that the committee/person who made exam didn't knew anything about flying.
