Indigo Call letters for Freshers

[ice_veins]

No e mails yet, doesn't look too positive. Last time I had got a call by the fifth.

[rahulsarma]

Fellow pilots...

Just now got the email from Parul for exams on 11th and 12th Jan 2012.....

[wings of fire]

Thanks bud

Are u A-320 type rated, or you have received the normal exam email from CAE.

[streamliner]

rahulsarma did you got the mail to sit in jan attempt..anyone else who has got this mail ....

[SuperflyTNT]

Anyone else who has got a mail from CAE for the Jan attempt ?

[SCPL]

Nope Not got the email.
I also asked 8-10 of my friendz NOT got the email yet.
So i guess its JUST...started.

[SuperflyTNT]

Okay. Thank you, SCPL

[Flybi]

I just received the email from parul for jan attempt.....:)

[Uniform.]

even i want one :{ :{ :{

[beinghuman]

Hello Ppruner's

That's great news. Can someone please paste the email content here. Thanks.

All the best to all.

[SuperflyTNT]

Yes if someone could paste their copy of the mail, would be helpful.

Also, is parul the only one sending out the mails for now ? Or have people received them from Radhika & Sandra too ?

[Flybi]

The exam is on 11th and 12th Jan and the last date of application is 15th dec...
I received the email from parul

[addy1847]

On what basis they call people, is it random selection. Did you guys(people who got the mail) use some connection, i mean what on earth should i do. i applied 6 months ago, have been sending mails to them regularly. got a mail once, replied to it, was never being called for the exam.

[Flybi]

even i applied 6 months ago......this is the second time i am receiving the first mail......first time i only got their first mail not the shortlisted one......hope so that this time they shortlist me.........

[SCPL]

Applied 11 months back.
Got 1st email thrice. Replied immediately to the 1st emails.

Never got shortlisted!

And now in sept oct and now in jan - No 1st emails also.

IT IS RANDOM! yes.

[STABLE extrovert]

Has anyone received any email from CAE today? Is there still hope that they might send some more e-mails in the coming days for the Jan attempt?

Any update would be appreciated.

[Aviator09]

Indigo has just started sending out emails. Restlessness would not help in getting the mail, so wait and watch the space for updates. They should send in more mails sooner.

[werido1100]

I got the mail from parul today...:)

[beinghuman]

Hey guys,

Got in contact with Parul today afternoon. I gave the written IndiGo's exam sometime in April 2010. Wasn't able to clear that time. Since then, I have been applying. She asked for my email id and checked. She said there are people waiting before you and you're not going to get a call this time. She just asked me to wait for my turn. According to her, this is as per the ''terms and conditions'' of the company.

A question, Is this CAE who's sending the letter ? Assuming Parul works for them or is it IndiGo ? Thanks.

[Aviator_Prat]

How do you get in touch with Parul? Ive been waiting since Jan'10 to get a call from them. They've never called!!

[ayush konisetty]

I have filled in the online application form with CAE and also sent my CV to Parul's email id. Do i need to do something more to be called for the test?

[beinghuman]

I called her up. She never picks up. Don't know why she did today.

You've been waiting since Jan 10 ? Have you appeared for an exam before ? They ought to call you if you haven't. If you have then I guess you can wait like rest of us.

[9FLYJET9]

Any news on the guys who have failed the final interview ?
Can they appear again ?

[Aviator_Prat]

No, I havent given the Exam ever! :ugh:
CAE-Indigo has this policy that guys who dont clear the interview cant give the wrtten again. Actually, most airlines have that rule.

[upilotg]

"All The Best :ok:" to guys appearing for the Final Interview with Indigo tomorrow. Do Well :)

[Aviator_Prat]

Guys who have received the mail but been shortlisted, make sure your CV is correct. No errors, medicals valid.. everything has to be perfect!

[SCPL]

It is. Everything is perfect. Still no call.
12 month going on waiting.
In Jan obe year or waiting will be over but not been shortlisted even ONCE!

[Cessna_pilot]

All the guys who got their letter for the test are you current on your recency and how many days/months have you waited for the first letter.

[SCPL]

Though being current is not required I have heard.
BUT I AM. and I have waited to get "shortlisted" for one year!! Still Waiting......

[bayblade]

do we have to send them our CV to get an email/invite for exam or do we wait for a mail from them to respond to our application?

[Uniform.]

is there anyone who got another chance??
i mean 2nd attempt?
or everyone still waiting for 1st call itself ?

[Aviator26]

Finally, got the first mail on the 7th from Parul.
Exam on 11th/12th Jan.'12.
Last date to reply back- 15th Dec.'11.
"As there is a certain number of candidates we can call for this attempt, we will be sending the call letter on first come basis. In case we reach the required number before you reply, you will not receive a reply to this email."
Who else received one? Hope to get shortlisted atleast this time.. Guys, please post when you get the second mail.

PS.:First Mails sent out more than a month in advance this time, wonder when the second mails would be sent :s

[SuperflyTNT]

Has anyone received an e-mail from CAE today ?

[nishantgupta2009]

How many got selected on 9th interview

[PEC]

How many got selected on 9th interview

They have selected a total of 7!

[Aviator26]

7 Out of ?

[LieDetector]

hey butterfly,

was this interview for the type rated candidates?

[MLSAPPCH]

7 out of 9..on 9th

[airbuscopilot]

Was there an Interview today @ Indigo?
Any News of interviews on the 16th?

[ButterFly747]

Liedetector

no interview was for freshers, i mean cpl holders. 9 out of 12 got selected :)

[wings of fire]

Guys I have not been getting the call for CAE-indigo exam. I got called up last in may 2011, but that was just 5 days before the exam date. So I didn't attempt it. After that people have been getting a month's notice for the exam, and guess what, however much I beg parul , radhika or any of the girls to send me the call letter , I don't get it..

How r they sending the call letters?

[PEC]

however much I beg parul , radhika or any of the girls to send me the call letter , I don't get it..

Never do that! Leave the begging to those who have nothing in life.

[SuperflyTNT]

Has anyone got any call letters this week ?

[LieDetector]

This is really Bizzare the HR at CAE has really turned this recruitment into a chaos.

[PEC]

Mr. Lie Detector,

This is really Bizzare the HR at CAE has really turned this recruitment into a chaos.

The HR at CAE has nothing to do with this. All of this chaos is orchestrated by the 3 women and 1 man in-charge of this "Outsourced" activity. If it goes on in this way, it will soon turn into a free for all brawl (hopefully with some Double Ds thrown in!)

And Mr. SuperFly,

A few people did get the email earlier this week. They were the last few to get it since CAE is done with the "Calling" business for the Jan'12 attempt. Better luck when the CAE circus returns to town! Possibly by early march!

[LieDetector]

What do you mean outsourced?

I thought the recruiting process was outsourced to CAE, are these not CAE representatives?

[PEC]

I thought the recruiting process was outsourced to CAE, are these not CAE representatives?

It is. They are. However they aren't part of the "HR at CAE"!
The four clowns make up for whatever is the "Pilot-Provisioning" Dept. at CAE.

[LieDetector]

What is their calling criteria?
I know a person who had applied 5 months ago and yet no call, and then there are guys on these forums claiming they got a call within a month of applying.

[dragstar]

Better luck when the CAE circus returns to town! Possibly by early march!

@PEC
What makes you say that the next attempt after 11th Jan.'12 will be in early March'12. Kindly elaborate on your source.

[PEC]

@PEC
What makes you say that the next attempt after 11th Jan.'12 will be in early March'12.

The same thing that made me say
No more attempts till December end / Jan.
way back, on the 31st of Oct'11.

@Lie-Detector,
What is their calling criteria?

Names at random! Thats about it.

[LieDetector]

And the fact that they have 1000's on their databases and only around 100 get called makes it a lottery draw.

[PEC]

And the fact that they have 1000's on their databases and only around 100 get called makes it like a lottery draw.

Hell Yeah! ...You can say that again!

[frustated_pilot]

hi guys, i have just joined this forum...i have been trying to get initial email from cae since april month...i thought i might get it for January attempt..but this dream didnt come true...my question is how many ppl got the confirmation mail,as last date is 15ht dec...also wat to do for getting initial mail from these guys for next attempt.......
thank you

[SCPL]

Trying since Feb' 2011. Not got a chance to sit for the test even once.
Giving up now!

[MLSAPPCH]

Guys its hard to wait , frustating as well as irritating..100% agree

Guess what..i got a call after one year of my application...wrote the exam could not clear...again got the call after 6 months[though that time cooling period was 3 months]-wrote the exam again...got the LOI..

But Right now Indigo Seems to be the only one taking the merit way..so enjoy your life but be perpared every month to write Indigo exam..thats what i did!!

And not to mention got 3 times banned on this forum as well :}

[Sweptair]

Spicejet would be coming up for fresh CPL holders very soon..Tentative Date for written is 5th Jan,2012..So don't lose it..there is still a ray of hope & Please our finance ministry Please Control USD uncle otherwise fuel will burn our careers....

[SCPL]

How do you know 5th Jan tentative date??
Jan may be yes one can say that....but tentative date 5th Jan?
Please do share the source - not the exact name but something you know...
Thnx :)

[hinitin123]

ppl have started receiving the confirmation email from indigo

[upilotg]

Best of Luck :ok: to all those appearing for the Interview tomorrow!! :)

[Aviator26]

Received 2nd mail today. They have asked shortlisted candidates to confirm and reply back by 18th Dec.'11.

[werido1100]

What time did u guys get the 2nd mail. i didnt get 2nd mail as yet. hope to get it tomorrow. :rolleyes:

[MLSAPPCH]

Santa had his bi annual flight review last night...the examiner brought a shot gun on the ride...Santa said whats the shot gun for? the examiner said "I'm not supposed to tell you but your gonna lose one on take off!" :)

[AviatorVette]

Guys best of luck with your CAE exam, study hard. I cleared the OCT attempt.. Just received my LOI today. Waiting for TR dates.

[avicon]

Is Indigo giving out LOI's these days. When is their next written interview and where do they publish the details? Or do they not publish it and it takes an insider job to figure these things out?

Is the LOI subject to a self-sponsored type rating or will they pay for your TR training once selected.

What if you have done your TR from a centre other than CAE? Do they ha major issues with that?

Please can someone shed some light.

[wings of fire]

Congrats buddy. You have earned your wings.
Meanwhile we are waiting to get called for the exam.

[Aviator09]

Avicon
Talking things that make no sense and now posting in query about things that have repeatedly been posted on the forum.Since, the topic is about Indigo Assessments being conducted for CPL holders,Take out some of your precious time and all your questions will be answers in detail.
Don't expect to be spoon-fed by a Woman Pilot. I guess you'd not be able to live by the whole idea.

[avicon]

Hmmm. OK point taken.

[werido1100]

Did anyone get the 2nd mail today? or all were sent out yesterday?
:uhoh:

[flexiflyer]

no weirdo ..i did'nt receive any second email yet.....:(

[airbuscopilot]

Was there an interview today?

Also people who have got their LOI's, what dates are expected for your Type Rating?

What formalities after getting the LOI? Does indigo/Cae help or all on your own? (Stuff like Visa and Orientation etc?)

[upilotg]

Yes, there was an interview on 16th Dec, it was the last interview for Oct batch.

[nishantgupta2009]

So finally how many got selected on 16th.

[AVIATROZ]

Out of 8, 6-7 people were selected.i was one of them.I just wanted to say friends the whole process is pretty fair n straight forward.According to me you just need to give your best towards it and leave everything else on god,if you have given a fair amount of hard work and efforts things gonna work up on there on.
best of luck to my other aviators mates for the further recruitment process.
Happy landings

[upilotg]

Congratulations Buddy!! :ok:

[LieDetector]

Guys who get the second mail to confirm their attendance, are they confirmed to sit in the exam or is there further screening?

[SCPL]

Did all the people here - who got the 1st email for Jan attempt - get the 2nd confirmation email too?
Because i think still confirmation mails are to be sent out to many people.
Plz do reply.

[werido1100]

I think 2nd mail are yet to be sent, the two people who wrote that they got 2nd mail. posted on 15th dec, which was the last date for the 1st mail. so i dont think indigo can shortlist so fast hen they have a month to do it. anyways this is my take on it. if they got it then best of luck to them and we have to wait for the next attempt. best of luck..:uhoh:

[sudeep6258]

Oh, that's great AVIATROZ.. Can you tell me how to prepare.. Specially for the CASS ;)

[trai]

hii has any one got a confirmation email for 11th jan exam after the 2nd email from cae

[flexiflyer]

i received the first email but not the second yet.....let see whether they shortlist us this time or not.......:sad:

[SCPL]

@Trai

I dint understand -

"hii has any one got a confirmation email for 11th jan exam after the 2nd email from cae"


......I thought confirmation email is the 2nd email !

[airbuscopilot]

Im guessing Type Rating Dates at CAE would be somewhere around March?
Do Confirm when You get to know.

Thanks.

[LieDetector]

That late?

Also I've heard some batches are being sent to Malaysia for TR, is that true?

[ak129]

hi ,
i had got the mail from parul asking me the details and the one containing spreadsheet...after that i got a mail asking me to confirm my medical validity between two weird dates ( weird because none of the two dates had anything to do with my medical validity) ......after that have not got any mail....

whats the second mail that a couple of guys are talking about????

i am preparing hard for the exam hoping i will be called this time.....anyone has any idea whats with this medical validity date thing????and are only those people being called who got this second mail???

[cyrilroy21]

@ak129

Could you post the email thats asks about the medical validity ?

[AviatorVette]

Oct attempt rating is jan end atleast my batch.

[airbuscopilot]

As the OCT'11 Attempt was divided into multiple batches (3 as far as i know?!)
, the TR's also should be like with a months difference each. (NOT SURE)

So i guess the last batch on 16th Dec, should be around Mid March.

Don't know about Madrid or KL and no idea whats going on inside :)

[alpha_victor_romeo]

thanks man I also got the 1st and the 2nd mail.... i was just worried about getting the third one. so logged in to pprune to get some info.... but you already cleared it out...

thank you :ok::ok:

AVR

PS so should I expect to get my hall ticket email by 3-4th Jan 2012 ??

[Aviator_Prat]

Ive heard that the last date to respond to the 2nd mail for confirmation was the 18th of Dec.

[LieDetector]

Admission tickets are being sent out!
One of my friend got it yesterday, All the best!

Edit: Guys who have given the exam, is there a cheap motel/hotel close by to stay in?
He will be flying from Mumbai one day before the exam.

[SCPL]

Yup 2 more people I know got Admission tickets yesterday night.
All the best to others!

[werido1100]

Guys more hall tickets are to be sent out or it is done for this attempt.?

[LieDetector]

The performance questions where we have to calculate TOD, given gradient, wind, temp etc etc. Are they done using a chart/graph or numerically?

Secondly could you suggest material for Vspeeds, def, things that effet them etc. and CG questions.

[SCPL]

Are such questions on performance asked? I dont think there is much weightage on performance questions!
Do share.

[LieDetector]

A few were asked, someone posted them earlier, that is why I ask.

[Halfwayback]

I have recently had cause to delete a number of posts because of the use of txt spk.

This is a professional pilots forum and, whilst it is fully appreciated that English may not be a person's first language, it is the lingua franca of PPRune.

TXT SPK posts will be deleted.

Halfwayback

[Aviator_Prat]

V-Speeds Wiki has a comprehensive list with definitions!
V speeds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds)
For detailed explanation the Limitations Chapter in Oxford Principles of Flight, is always there!
As far as the CG questions are concerned Keith Williams maybe!
I am looking for Performance questions too!

There was a question bank doing the rounds a few pages back, I was hoping we could get a download Url or something!

:ok: AP

[LieDetector]

PM me your email address, I will forward the Q bank to you.

Are you appearing for the Jan written? ALso the takeoff distance questions, are they solved using graphs or numerically?

[Aviator_Prat]

@ LieDetector PM'ed! Thanks!

[SCPL]

Do they actually ask Performance questions like:
Take-off distance calculations? whichever by graph or numerically
Landing distance calculations? whichever by graph or numerically
& other performance numericals/sums?
and so on n so forth?

Guyz please do share.

[STABLE extrovert]

The Take-off and Landing distance calculations are covered in the Oxford Mass & balance and performance book. However, as I understand they require the use of graphs.

Maybe someone who appeared in the October attempt (thats where the so called performance based questions were asked for the first time), Could share with us if they came across any performance numericals based on graphs?

[keith williams]

For the graphs used in the DGCA (JAR based) CofG, Flight Planning and Aircraft Performance questions go to the UK CAA website at caa.co.uk and search for the following books

CAP696
CAP697
CAP698

CAP 696 is for CofG, CAP697 is for Flight Planning, and CAP 698 is for Aircraft Performance.

These books contain all of the graphs, worked examples of how to use them, plus lots of key facts and definitions. You can download the books in PDF format free of charge.

[LieDetector]

Thanks a lot Keith!

Appreciate it.

[Aviatorrr]

There wasn't any question which had graphs for performance.

[hinitin123]

i don't think they ask any Q. regarding performance with graph or T/O distance calculation... its all the basics ....guys do not get too much deep in to all that they will only ask basic stuff and i am not sure if they asked anything with graph in the October attempt

[airtransporter]

The take-off distance of an aircraft is 800m in standard atmosphere, no wind at 0 ft pressure-altitude.
Using the following corrections:
`± 20 m / 1 000 ft field elevation `
`- 5 m / kt headwind `
`+ 10 m / kt tail wind `
`± 15 m / % runway slope `
`± 5 m / °C deviation from standard temperature `
The take-off distance from an airport at 2 000 ft elevation, temperature 21°C, QNH 1013.25 hPa, 2% up-slope, 5 kt tail wind is:

[SCPL]

Ive asked few people but such a question on take off distance was not asked for sure in the Oct attempt.

[Aviatorrr]

There were no questions like the one you have mentioned. It was more like if the CoG is forward what would be the fuel flow like? Not exactly performance but still..

[airtransporter]

My dear friends,
Firstly, I have given IndiGo's October attempt and this was one of the questions asked in written examination. Secondly, this is a question from performance subject(under the subtitle "Factors affecting Take off Performance").
All the best for all candidates.

Regards,
AIRTRANSPORTER

[STABLE extrovert]

Based on the reference provided by AIRTRANSPORTER, I have tried to solve the above question.

With temperature at 21°C and pressure=1013, the density altitude=3157 ft for the airfield at 2000 ft.

All three factors temperature (21°C) being more than ISA, 2% up-slope and 5 kt tail wind will cause the take-off distance to increase. Hence, the answer should be that the take-off distance will increase/more than 800m. I dont know how we can calculate the exact figure without graphs.

Let me know if you guys agree with my solution.

[STABLE extrovert]

If the runway is sloping a component of the weight will act along the runway, and increase or decrease the accelerating force.

An uphill slope will reduce the accelerating force and increase the take-off distance.

Source: Reference as mentioned by AIRTRANSPORTER.

[Aviatorrr]

Did you give the 20th October or 21st October attempt? I gave the 21st one. And an upslope runway will definitely increase take-off distance.

[LieDetector]

How was the written?
Did you guys manage to clear it?

[airtransporter]

@aviatorrr - 20th :)
@others - Whats the answer? Solve it... TODR? :ok:

[Aviatorrr]

The answer is 950 m or whatever is closest in options.. Funnily, on 21st there were none of these questions as far as I remember..

[GoIndiGo]

Has anybody got an LOI ??? Do reply

[Aviatorrr]

Nopes didn't get LOI till now..

[keith williams]

The take-off distance of an aircraft is 800m in standard atmosphere, no wind at 0 ft pressure-altitude.
Using the following corrections:
`± 20 m / 1 000 ft field elevation `
`- 5 m / kt headwind `
`+ 10 m / kt tail wind `
`± 15 m / % runway slope `
`± 5 m / °C deviation from standard temperature `

The take-off distance from an airport at 2 000 ft elevation, temperature 21°C, QNH 1013.25 hPa, 2% up-slope, 5 kt tail wind is


This is a standard JAR question. It is intended to test your knowledge of the way in which various factors affect the take-off distance.

Any factor (such as increased elevation, increased temperature, tailwind and upslope) that decreases aircraft performance during take-off will increase the distance. If you are not fully familiar with these factors download the CAP698 and read the relevant sections.

The important thing is not to know the answer to any specific question (because the number can be changed very easily) but to ensure that you understand the subjects well enough to answer any question of this type.

For this question.

Distance in standard condition = 800M

For 2000 ft elev add 2 x 20M = +40M

At 2000 ft elev ISA OAT = 11 C
so 21C is ISA + 10C so the
correction is +10 x 5 = + 50M

For 2% upslope add 2 x 15M = + 30M

For 5 kt tailwind add 5 x 10M = + 50M

Total distance = 970 M

[STABLE extrovert]

Thanks for your help Keith!! Now I know how to solve it without the graphs :)

[SCPL]

Guys I have heard regarding regulations they ask questions on:

Light gun signals.
Emergency Procedures, Communication failures.
Separation minimas - longitudinal, time, track etc..
VFR/IFR rules & minimas.
Class Airspaces rules.
Acts - Warsaw, Tpkyo, Chicago etc..

Till now only questions on these have been asked.

Correct me if I am wrong? please.

[hitesh.ahire]

Surprisingly,
Theres alot they would mention in their Aptitude entrance.

Refer to any Bank Clerical Entrance Book. You`ll find alot of Interesting questions that usually appear in Indigo and Jet Entrance.

[SCPL]

For IndiGo you are talking about the 2ns stage where in they test your aptitude...and NOT the written test right?!

[airbuscopilot]

Hey Guys, Whats the update on the dates for TR?

I read first batch that cleared Interviews in last week of November has January dates. Late January?

Done with the Orientation? PM me if you like.

Anyone got any idea for specific dates for TR for the later batch that cleared on the 9th and 16th Dec?

[SCPL]

Guys what have they actually asked from Performance till date....do they ask questions on:

TODR ASDR ASDA TORR TODA?
Take off flight path?
LDA ALD LDR?
etc...?

[thearsenal]

The negative (radial) acceleration of an airplane affects the sitting pilot with inertia along:

A) the transverse body axis to the right.
B) the transverse body axis to the left.
C) the vertical body axis upwards.
D) the vertical body axis downwards.

can anybody explain this answer?

in negative radial acceleration (-g) the centrifugal force acts from seat to head.

fly straight and level and then push the yolk forward abruptly, if your seat belt is not secured your head will hit the roof (if the cockpit is small like c152)

@gambl3

cheers man, much appreciated, any idea where i can read up a little more about this?

[snowleopard]

Hey guys,

I had recently applied for the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program and was told that stage I (Phy, Mat and Eng written test) would be held in d 1st week of Feb 2012. :uhoh: I also recieved the syllabus for this exam which contains topics on physics, maths and english from which I was told to prepare for.

Any light on how to prepare for this exam/what the exam would be like would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :ok:

[aniqua]

hey ,

what is cadet pilot program? Is indigo still taking people as cedets? what is the requirement?

[hinitin123]

people who have already appeared are also getting chance for the assessment. Its based on First come First serve basis.

check indigo website for CADET PILOT PROGRAM. they are still looking in and will continue to admit guys for cadet pilot program.

[werido1100]

Guys can anyone tell me which topics to study in met?

[Aviator_Prat]

Q) If Paris reports a wind of 16020kt on the metar, what wind velocity would you expect to encounter at a height of 2000 ft above the ground? (Ans: 19040kt)

Q) you are flying at FL 200. OAT is -40 degrees C and the pressure at sea level is 1003 hpa. what is the true altitude? (Ans: 19340ft)

Q) you plan a flight over a mountain range at a true altitude of 15000 ft/amsl. The air is 15 degrees C colder than ISA ,the pressure at the sea level is 1003 hpa. what indication must the altimeter(setting 1013.2hpa) read ? (Ans: 16230ft)

Ans 1. Surface winds in the NH are Backed(SH Veered) by 30 Degs & the speed reduces by 50% over land.
Backing is anticlockwise turning, Winds at 2000 ft will be 190/40Kts

Ans 2/3. Use the Formula:
TA = IA + (4 x IA/1000 x ISA Dev) + (27 x (QNH – Subscale))

I cant seem to get the answer for the 2nd ques tho (18540 ft) anybody?

AP

[LieDetector]

The answer for the second question listed by aviator787 is incorrect.

A couple of questions:

Q1.NH wind at 2000ft 210/60. Thermal wind 20 knots. Lowest Mean temp : NW.
Find upper wind?

How do you solve ^^these numericals? What is the concept?

Q2. Any acceleration in climb, with a constant power setting:
A) decreases the rate of climb and the angle of climb
B) improves the rate of climb if the airspeed is below VY
C) improves the climb gradient if the airspeed is below VX
D) decreases rate of climb and increase angle of climb

Q3.For a single engine class B aeroplane, V2 may not be less than:
A) not applicable
B) 1.15Vs
C) 1.2Vs
D) 1.5Vs


Q4. Regarding take-off, the take-off decision speed V1:
A) Is always equal to VEF (Engine Failure speed)
B) Is an airspeed at which the aeroplane is airborne but below 35 ft and the pilot is assumed to have made a decision to continue or discontinue the take-off
C) Is the airspeed of the aeroplane upon reaching 35 feet above the take-off surface
D) Is the airspeed on the ground at which the pilot is assumed to have made a decision to continue or discontinue the take-off

Q5. Any acceleration in climb, with a constant power setting:
A) decreases the rate of climb and the angle of climb
B) improves the rate of climb if the airspeed is below VY
C) improves the climb gradient if the airspeed is below VX
D) decreases rate of climb and increase angle of climb

Q6.The stall speed of an aircraft will increase with:
(a) decrease in the load factor
(b) increase in the pitch attitude for straight and level
(c) increase in the all up weight of the aircraft

[aviator787]

thanks aviator prat for helping really appreciate there was a mistake in typing wrote 1003 hpa instead of 1033 hpa in 2nd question.

[Aviator_Prat]

Q2. Any acceleration in climb, with a constant power setting:
A) decreases the rate of climb and the angle of climb
B) improves the rate of climb if the airspeed is below VY
C) improves the climb gradient if the airspeed is below VX
D) decreases rate of climb and increase angle of climb
The only way we can accelerate in the climb at a constant power setting is to lower the nose, lowering the nose will decrease both the ROC & Angle Of Climb.

Q3.For a single engine class B aeroplane, V2 may not be less than:
A) not applicable
(V2 is the Speed at which the a/c becomes airborne safely with 1 engine Inop)
B) 1.15Vs
C) 1.2Vs
D) 1.5Vs


Q4. Regarding take-off, the take-off decision speed V1:
A) Is always equal to VEF (Engine Failure speed)
B) Is an airspeed at which the aeroplane is airborne but below 35 ft and the pilot is assumed to have made a decision to continue or discontinue the take-off
C) Is the airspeed of the aeroplane upon reaching 35 feet above the take-off surface
D) Is the airspeed on the ground at which the pilot is assumed to have made a decision to continue or discontinue the take-off

Q5. Any acceleration in climb, with a constant power setting:
A) decreases the rate of climb and the angle of climb
B) improves the rate of climb if the airspeed is below VY
C) improves the climb gradient if the airspeed is below VX
D) decreases rate of climb and increase angle of climb

Q6.The stall speed of an aircraft will increase with:
(a) decrease in the load factor
(b) increase in the pitch attitude for straight and level
(c) increase in the all up weight of the aircraft

Q1.NH wind at 2000ft 210/60. Thermal wind 20 knots. Lowest Mean temp : NW. Find upper wind?
Help anyone?

Correct me if I am wrong!

AP

[aniqua]

guys any idea if indigo is going to continue recruitment after 20 jan 2012 every month or is it goin to be once in 3 mnths?

[ankit9690]

hello. can you please explain the first question and the thermal winds ?

[hinitin123]

hi can any 1 gimme the answer for this Q. got a little confusion


Q1. When an altimeter is used for SSR it is always referenced to:
A) 1013.25 hPa
B) The pressure setting in use
C) QFE
D) QNH


2. Given the following:

A) -6° / 415
B) +6° / 425
C) +6° / 415
D) -6° / 425

3.An approximate equation for calculation conversion angle is:
A) CA=dlong x sin Lat. x sin Long.
B) CA=0,5 x dlat x sin Lat.
C) CA=(dlong-dlat) x 0,5.
D) CA=0,5 x dlong x sin lat.

4.. Any acceleration in climb, with a constant power setting:
A) decreases the rate of climb and the angle of climb
B) improves the rate of climb if the airspeed is below VY
C) improves the climb gradient if the airspeed is below VX
D) decreases rate of climb and increase angle of climb

5.Q. An aircraft is flying over sea.FL 100.True altitude 10000ft.local QNH 1003. What can you say about the airmass over which the aircraft is flying:
a. It is warmer than ISA
b. It is colder than ISA
c. Its average temperature is same as that of ISA
d.The information is not sufficient

6.What is random error, choose from the following example.

[mgrandhi]

can anyone suggest me any budget hotels near CAE banglore and contact details if possible

tnx in advance

[hinitin123]

hi buddy i think somebody has given the hotel's name and no. in the post u will have to sort it out but m sure some1 has definitely put up the name . tc and good luck !!!

[LieDetector]

^^

Q1. A
Q2. A
Q3. D
Q4. A
Q5. C
Q6. A
Q7. B(Not too sure about this)

Nitin are you sitting for the exam on 11th,12th?
Do you know if they allow the CX2?

[Aviator_Prat]

5.Q. An aircraft is flying over sea.FL 100.True altitude 10000ft.local QNH 1003. What can you say about the airmass over which the aircraft is flying:
a. It is warmer than ISA
b. It is colder than ISA
c. Its average temperature is same as that of ISA
d.The information is not sufficient

I think Ans: A
P Alt if QNH(1003) is set = 9730 ft (FL100 1013=10000ft)
True Alt is more than P Alt which implies +ve ISA Deviation.
Correct me if im wrong!
The forum a few pages back says Cx2/Scientific calculators are allowed

AP :ok:

[AvIaTo]

Yes Cx2 and scientific calc's are allowed..

[abhimakam]

Hi,

The ans is 'C'.
When T.alt== P.Alt it implies that the temp at that level is at ISA.

Regards
Abhi.

[SCPL]

How many questions on MET are asked usually?
I have heard usually 6-7 questions are asked.
Please share.

[Aviator_Prat]

@ Abhi
Ref: Met theory question [Archive] - PPRuNe Forums (http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-259127.html)

FL are wrt 1013.25 & QNH = 1003

Rgds,

[kush3370]

Hello Folks.....

i have been reading plenty of questions posted on this thread so i was wondering where are these questions coming from? i mean the source...which book do u people get these ques from? or is there any comprehensive que bank specially made for indigo (which everyone seem to have) ? kindly suggest me the source of questions....any help would be much appreciated....

Reagards

[St_Elmo]

@ AVR :D :ok:, All the best!!

@ Kush, Everyone's conspiring against you buddy :E everyone has a secret question bank.
btw the questions on the thread are thanks to the people who give the exam and write down the questions they remember from the paper. Kudos to them! :ok:

Saint.E!

[alpha_victor_romeo]

Here is goes
there were 5 questions on turning errors of the compass. like turning towards north in NH when do you roll out.... easy stuff
then questions on ssr codes and
Radio Aids
Know the ranges of frequency
HF,VHF,UHF,SHF etc radio failure procedure...and slant range of DME...VHF range.... Radio altemeter... range and purpose(very basic nothing in depth)

[SuperflyTNT]

Thank you Alpha victor romeo.

Anybody out here know when CAE will be conducting the next written ?

[PEC]

Anybody out here know when CAE will be conducting the next written ?

1st week of April or there-about. Not before.

[cyrilroy21]

@PEC

So does this mean that CAE will only conduct the exams every 3 months from now onwards ?

[PEC]

So does this mean that CAE will only conduct the exams every 3 months from now onwards ?

No it doesn't. The CAE-Indigo selection is based on requirement, it isn't as periodic as a pendulum. So if there is a need it may be monthly, or tri-monthly or half yearly. If there isn't...you know the rest.

[smurf84]

As per their website, they are looking for A320 rated Junior co-pilots, cadet pilots, experienced Captains/Co-pilots. It doesn't look like they need Junior co-pilots (a DGCA CPL holder with IR) at the moment. I'm not sure if I'm right considering the information I picked up from the IndiGo website.

[superdunkaroos]

For non-type rated Jr co-pilots Preliminary selection is done by CAE. Its a 5 year contract for CAE.

[smurf84]

Never knew about that. Thanks.

[bombayhues]

@superdunkaroos: You are right about the CAE part but there is NO contract for the pilots joining as junior co-pilots!

[superdunkaroos]

I meant it is a 5 year contract between Indigo and CAE for this specific recruitment.

[cyrilroy21]

Never knew about that. Thanks.

For non-type rated Jr co-pilots Preliminary selection is done by CAE

@smurf

Thats what this whole thread is about :)



https://pilot.cae.com/Programs/Indigo.aspx

[SuperflyTNT]

I heard there might be an exam during the end of March or early April too. And PEC is right CAE conducts their exams based on Indigos' requirement.

Although i heard from another source that there will be exams held every month until April after which they will put the exams on hold for a while. Nothing that I can confirm though.

[SuperflyTNT]

Also, any idea as to how many people cleared the written exam that was conducted a few days back?

As someone had mentioned over here, on the first day 25 out of 52 had cleared. What about the results on the 2nd day? And also if anyone from the 2nd day could share the questions it would be appreciated.

[PEC]

What about the results on the 2nd day?

10 cleared. So a total of 35 from the two days combined move over to the CASS session.

[cyrilroy21]

A littler off topic....

Just how desperate is IndiGo for pilots ?

When you go to their website on the home page itself you see them advertising to join them as a Cadet Pilot
Skylights Redirect (http://goindigo.in)

CAE is conducting 5 intakes for cadet pilots this year itself
CAE Global Academy - IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program (http://www.caeglobalacademy.com/gondia/IndiGo_training_programs.shtml)

Is it possible that one day they will stop jr. co-pilots from outside ?

[SCPL]

Is 10 people cleared on 2nd day - information confirmed..? how can u say? sure?
coz i feel 1st day 25 n 2nd day 10-12 people......seems less on 2nd day very less infact!

[PEC]

Is it possible that one day they will stop jr. co-pilots from outside ?
Possibly by this year-end, it might be a reality!

[37thousandfeet]

25 on day 1 and another 25 on day 2..... confirmed...

[SCPL]

Nope its not 25 on day 2 - confirmed!

[Uniform.]

Anyone knows wheres the CAE office in New Delhi???

[flexiflyer]

@uniform :- there in no CAE office in New Delhi, its only in Bangalore.


And can anyone please confirm that how many students cleared the written on 12th January.......?
please........

[attitudeFlying]

10 people passed on 12th Jan.

[flexiflyer]

are you sure????? as some people are saying tht 25 cleared on 12th Jan...

[AvIaTo]

10 ppl passed on day 2.. a bit different paper on 12th... coz less human performance question this time and a lot of technical and performance stuff..
Guys study each and everything not only human performance can get you through..

[werido1100]

25 cleared on 12th. confirmed.

[SCPL]

Nope I was on 12th....25 have not cleared for SURE

[werido1100]

I cleared on 12th buddy. i clearly asked parul how many cleared. she said 25. maybe u were there before the 2nd results came. at the end there were 25 people.

[iiiifly]

does any one has any idea when is the next attempt of indigo..:ugh:

thax

[SCPL]

What kind of questions are asked by the HR in the CASS structured interview? Please do share.
Even is it individual or according to each and every ones personality could you please share experiences of the "questions" asked by the HR in the so called informal interview of the CASS round.

[SCPL]

Guyz please share what do they ask in the structured interview in the CASS round.

[KKAARR]

guys can anybody let know what kind of Questions were asked on Performance... ? Like, did they ask to depth or Basic stuff only.. Please share if you remember any questions on that...!:uhoh:

[alonelyaviator]

CAE office in delhi:
4th floor, Avanta house
Statement House, Cannaught Place
New Delhi.

About Structure interview:
Questions regarding your personality,the way you think,your future plans i.e. where you find yourself after 10 years in the organisation,why indigo,questions regarding indigo,regarding your flying training i.e. unusual attitude and recovery from it.why you want to become pilot, about your family,what you did during your unemployment period,whether your are law biding or not and disciplined i.e. you jump red light? etc.,about your previous attempt for the pilot job,anything related to your past.....etc.
basically they want to check your positive attitude and most important your smartness and communication skills and whether you fit in indigo's work culture or not.And your learning abilities that is how fast you are in process to take your command.

TIPS:
1. Be Positive.
2. Hide your negative qualities or try to show them in more positive ways.
3. work on your communication skills if you feel you need it.
4. Be Assertive not over confident just try to show that your are learning and enjoying the whole process.
5. Most important don't be in any stress or tension(please don't show them), go with very relax attitude and don't feel it is a do or die situation for you till your cass and interview atleast although it is actually.
6. Don't prepare to much for it and remember the lies you said in this stage because they ask the same things in airline interview.

Best of luck:ok:
ala.

[attitudeFlying]

remember the lies you said in this stage because they ask the same things in airline interview :ok:

[pilot in progress]

hello friends...

congrats to all who cleared the exams this month...
guys did anyone get a mail for cass...

[alonelyaviator]

just basic performance infact the whole exam is very basic nothing in so depth.

[alpha_victor_romeo]

Guys I just finished my CASS on 17th please tell me what is asked in the GD and pi

As in CASS its not that hard you just have to be yourself they give you a handbook just have to go through it. I am sure most will clear... I have my results on 22 hopefully the interview shall be on 24th

If toh could please give me some info on interview preparations I dont want to come this far and loose..:rolleyes:

Thanks

AVR:ok::ok:

[SCPL]

Also do people get less than 10 days between the CASS...and...GD-PI round? else...aprroximately how many days?

[flexiflyer]

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PM.....

[3greens 1inthemirror]

does anybody know when they're gonna conduct the next assessment??? and any tips on how to get the first mail? have applied since June but have only got the first mail once! please help. :uhoh:

[LieDetector]

Out of the 50 who cleared on the 11th and 12th how many are finally going to be selected after being screened in the CASS and Interview?

[SCPL]

its not fixed everytime.........
its according to:
- requirement
- how many people are really good/bad
- how many performed well
- did all of them accept the LOI (all of them don't trust me...yes they don't)
- how many people they clear

i know sometimes 'per session' as in per recruitment.....
sometimes 20 were hired long time back, once i know 14 were hired....once i know 18 , and once 21.....

so it depends on lot of factors....

but usually on an average - about 14-16 people. TOTAL.

[LieDetector]

^^Thanks man

How was your CASS?

And any Idea what type of tech specific questions do they ask in the Interview?

[SCPL]

Im still to do CASS.
Anywayz are you done with your CASS, LieDetector?

Then you let me know in detail abot it please.

[LieDetector]

No man.
I'm still waiting for my license.

My friend has his CASS on the 24th, will talk to him and let you know.

[alpha_victor_romeo]

There will be 4 stages of assessment:

Questionnaire stage

This will be completed online before going to the testing centre. You will use your given
username and password on Welcome to ADAPT (http://www.symbioticsltd.info)
Figure 3: Login screen with example username and password
If you have not been sent your username and/or password via email, you should write to
[email protected]
You should do the questionnaire in a comfortable, quiet area with no distractions or
interruptions.
Firstly you will be asked if you will let your data to be used and stored. Then you will start
the questionnaire, which has 277 questions. This stage has no time limit, but you should try
to finish within 30-45 minutes, in 1 attempt. The questions will change in length and have
options to choose from. You will answer questions on a range of topics, including your
interests, preferences and opinions. There are no right or wrong answers. To assess your
personality to the highest standard, we need to get the correct information about you.
Therefore, you should be totally honest when answering the questionnaire.

[alpha_victor_romeo]

English Proficiency Test

This is an online test which has some practice sessions and 2 actual sessions
Beginner and Intermediate Both are fairly simple no tension should be taken for that. EASY

Structured Interview stage

This involves a panel interview with 2 members of staff and takes 30-40 minutes. Like the
questionnaire, this interview looks at your personality traits, states, emotion control and
quality of life. The interview is a chance for you to tell us about yourself. This is done
through a relaxed chat, not a formal interview.


Physical Task stage

This stage uses a flight simulator that is based on a simple computer game. It is controlled using a stick and throttle.

You will be sat in-front of 5 screens. The middle three screens show the cockpit view, with the head-up display in the centre. The left screen is the question screen where different types of questions will appear for you to answer. The right screen is the map screen, which shows your route and current information.

Question Task tests include:
Numerical Reasoning: Questions that use numbers & mathematical data.

Verbal Reasoning:Questions based on spoken or written information.

Abstract Reasoning:Recognising patterns/similarities between shapes & figures.

Perceptual Speed and Accuracy:Working quickly & accurately to find information from words, numbers or pictures

Spatial Relationship Reasoning:Being able to see spatial patterns and move/rotate these in your mind, to solve visual problems.

Working Memory:How well you can remember information in the short term.

Stroop Test: How and what you pay attention to.


The whole physical task will last for 1 hour and 15 minutes, and has 5 stages:
1. Cognitive – Practice at answering the psychometric questions.
2. Familiarisation 1 – Practice using the flight simulator and the joy stick and throttle.
3. Familiarisation 2 – Practice using the flight simulator with the map (Sat Nav) screen.
4. Mission 1 – The first mission - flying the simulator and answering questions.
5. Mission 2 – The second mission – similar to mission 1 with some extra tasks.
During the Physical task you will be video recorded. This is so that in the debrief you can see how you reacted.

Debrief stage

During this stage, you will sit with the examiner and watch the video playback of yourself during parts of the physical task. This is so you can think about how you have done and tell us about it.

All the Best

An aircraft is flying east with a speed of 500 km/hr. There is a tail wind of speed 40 km/hr from 2400 with respect to the
North. Using triangle law of vectors, the approximate ground speed of the aircraft is


500 km/hr. is this right ?

[snowleopard]

That's 240 degrees... not 2400

[Maverick 03]

Alpha Victor Romeo:

Kindly check your PM

[pilot1990]

Hello friends..plz confirm wethr those who dont clear cass also get mail from parul or radhika...?

[SCPL]

How was CASS guyz?
Please do share details.
Thank u!!

[alpha_victor_romeo]

c'mon man I just posted it up there....!!!:ugh:

[Aviatorrr]

Is the CASS result out for anybody yet? Any clue how many cleared..

[alpha_victor_romeo]

yeah i think most of them cleared just 1 or 2 failed.... i just gave GD/PI yesterday...awaiting results any idea how long does it usually take..??

[cyrilroy21]

@alpha victor romeo

Could you care to outline the dates the assessments took place ( eg : date of exam , date of CASS , date of Interview )

My friend who gave the Sept '11 written exam had to wait for a whole two months till the final interview .
Written exam in Sept
CASS in October
Interview in November .

It took them one week to tell him that he managed to get through :)

Your case on the other hand seems to be happening very quickly :ok:

And thanks a lot for the info on the CASS . That was most detailed description I have ever seen . Thanks

[SaabCapt]

Indigo..you broke my heart.. lady :ugh:

[hifi]

Yes the stages of assessment were conducted very fast. (for the first 12 candidates at least)
We had the exam on Jan 11 in Delhi
The CASS was held Jan 16 - 21 for 2 candidates per day in Bengaluru.
On Jan 23 evening we got a call to be prepared to go to Delhi for the interview. Got email confirming interview at 5:40 pm to come to Delhi Jan 24 at 9:15 am.

There were 12 candidates for the gd/interview.

Rest of the candidates will have their gd/interview on Feb 7th.

Just waiting for the final results. :ok:

[SCPL]

I want to ask you one thing.
that till 24-25th January....the first 15 people (according to their CASS roll nos./list nos. - who cleared the written test) were called for the CASS.....out of that you are sayin 12 were called!?!?

Surprising!
Fast!
Very Good passing ratio in CASS!

DO reply please.

[superdunkaroos]

You'd have to do something extremely ridiculous to fail the CASS, its a personality/behavior assessment test.

When is you CASS?

[SCPL]

Its nor more like that. They have become more stringent and stricter for the CASS. They do not clear so many people now.

But its your opinion so am ok with what you think. :)

No issues!

[VT-delta]

Has any one got the LOI after the interview held on 24th jan

[SCPL]

LOI? Dude now this is real fast :)
Please do share how many cleared our of how many if there is any information.

[LieDetector]

The LOI is sent home by post, that is what my friend who works for them told me, but he got selected almost a year ago so things might have changed.

[Maverick 03]

Congratulations to all of those who have cleared their interviews. I had a query and would be grateful if you guys could clear it.

Is there any medical test conducted by CAE/Indigo after the interviews, before giving the LOI or not? And when do one has to pay the fees for TR to them?

Kindly reply..thanks in advance

[SCPL]

But do you think that final Interview results are out...so soon?
Please do share about how many people appeared and how many cleared, if any information available.

Thanking you.

[hifi]

We have not got the results of the interview yet. But am waiting anxiously for it. :p

Does anyone know if all the candidates will get an email for the result of the interview or just the ones selected?

[PEC]

Does anyone know if all the candidates will get an email for the result of the interview or just the ones selected?
Everybody who appears gets an email.

[errordetector]

The LOI hardcopy is sent around 10 to 15days after you clear the interview....A soft copy will be sent to your email either by sandra or parul.....There are no medical test before you get the LOI.......Congrats to all guys who cleared...

[SCPL]

Could you share your experience in detail about the interview plz.

[dragstar]

Any info on when is cae-indigo holding the next round of recruitment test?

[SCPL]

If some one would be really kind enough to write the actual questions asked - ONLY TECHNICAL ones - of the final (panel) interview. Please.
Not the topics or subjects but the technical questions.

[harsh786techy]

Guys please do not stress about technical ques asked in the PI..
They generally end up asking you basic things and even if you do not know any just do not try and act smart, just say "I do not Know".

They stress on specially what kind of an Individual You Are.. There philosophy is that our company is good because we have good People working in here..

Just be yourself and Very Confident.

[SCPL]

Ok but still sommme questions technical atleast. please.

And also...about the HR questions to know what kind of individual we are....what tips would you give?
Because one thing I know they do not want aggressive, challenging, annoying, over smart, over confident people who know or act to know everything.
Few HR questions or answers would be appreciated plz.

A question to the guys who have cleared this CAE Indigo assessment and are now flying for Indigo.

After your type rating at CAE, how long does it take:
1)Before you get a call for Ground school?
2)You start flying as supernumerary?
3)Finally how long till you go online?

Thanks in advance

[airbuscopilot]

@SuperMan

After Type

1. Theres a Sim Check at bangalore. Mostly within 30-45 days of coming back

2. After Passing the Sim Test you start the Ground Classes which last for a month or so. Your start dates depends on when the last batch gets done.

3. After Ground Classes finish and you pass the Exam, You within max 15-20 days start with Supernumerary.

4. After Supernumerary, within a month u have a FAM flight where you get checked out by an examiner, on passing u start flying as Junior Co-Pilot.

so about 4-6 months from Type Rated to Online @ Indigo
