Indigo Call letters for Freshers

[cyrilroy21]

@spoolkick

On their employment page

Section Pilots

Just below the A320 Expat Pilots

You should be able to see a small line that talks about CAE and if you dont meet their experience requirements you should apply through CAE

They have given a link that should take you to the CAE page . Read all the details thoroughly and then apply . Then pray you get called for the next attempt and be thoroughly prepared as well .
Good Luck :ok:

[shakti03]

I too am curious about the same.. Also.. when is the next attempt..? I know there isn't any news for sure but is there an estimate..??

[pilot1990]

Hello friends plz confirm how many candidates cleared interview on 14 Feb...??

[errordetector]

The next exam might take a while as atleast 50 of us are waiting for joining after TR........kingfisher pilots have flooded the whole thing....

[DeanWinchester]

@error

Hey reading the previous posts, they usually call within a month or so for joining.. how many days have you guys been waiting for since TR and back?

[yash]

Supernatural Fan above its been 4 months now waiting for ground to start since completion of TR

[superdunkaroos]

^When was your written?

[cyrilroy21]

@yash

Do you get paid while waiting for ground to start ?

[errordetector]

I came back from madrid in 1st week of Feb........there are approx 30 to 35 before me waiting for joining and some also for Sim check....And no one is gettin paid till u join...The whole process used to be fast but due to KF struggling ,it has been affected..

[superdunkaroos]

They have 'consciously' been over hiring for sometime now, around 800-900 pilots for a fleet size of 51 A/C's, but they are also receiving A320's at a much faster rate now.The backlog should clear soon.

How are they doing with regards to check pilots, TRE/TRI's?

[yash]

I gave my written in June , 2011 .
We are not being paid yet !

[spoolkick]

hey can anyone help me..
frm where to study for indigo written...
asin, which books..

and what all topics are asked quite often, important ones..

plz help

[superdunkaroos]

^^Help yourself.

The thread contains all that information.

[The AeRoDOME]

After Indigo's January intake , thought their next could be in March .

Reading the news articles about KingFisher PILOTS MOVING To Indigo

and the posts above looks like it may take seriously long time for Indigo to conduct their Next recruitment Exam for Jr. Co-Pilots .

And Now No Clue Whatsoever :

When would be the Next Indigo Exam for Jr. Co-Pilots ?

[mach5]

As of now cant say anthing about Indigo exams , once KFA issues get settled then we can get a clear picture , Lets us hope for the BEST

[alpha_victor_romeo]

Guys I don't know if this is the right forum for this but I wanted to know from the guys who have finished their Type Ratings. Is there any study material that could be used to prepare before I go for the rating. My training is suppose to start on 26th march so I thought I could utilize this time to prepare myself with some basic info about A320.

So if anyone has any suggestions on what I should be studying before going for my Rating please go ahead and let me know. (Or is there any other formum already discussing this..because i couldn't find it.)

Any help is appreciated and welcomed.

Thanks

AVR:ok::ok::ok:

[superdunkaroos]

Each TRTO will have slightly different material, but systems and most of the technical data will remain the same.

Start here:

SmartCockpit - Airbus 320 Series (http://www.smartcockpit.com/plane/airbus/A320/)

Airbusdriver.net (http://www.airbusdriver.net/)

[errordetector]

i would say learn the SOP's and go....Also try to study the systems......good luck

[spoolkick]

hey can anyone help me..
frm where to study for indigo written...
asin, which books to refer..

and what all topics are asked quite often, important ones..

plz help

[bombayhues]

@spoolkick: Buddy, this thread contains about 128 pages of all the information that you will ever need for the IndiGo recruitment process. A lot of hardwork has been put in by several members in compiling this thread. Would appreciate it if you could take the effort to go through it before posting a query. Thanks! :ok:

[SuperflyTNT]

Heard there might be an exam this April. Can anyone confirm that ?

[3greens 1inthemirror]

Can't say for sure. last week they inducted around 50 KFA pilots and on the 27th of Feb, they held an exam for the A320 rated.

[Johny Boy]

TNT

They were suppose to call for March assessment or they might give e-mails in a day or two.If going by some info, march assessment will happen in b/w 20-25 march and april in 3rd week.

But KFA's exodus(37 PIC's/ CoPilot with ATPL) have hampered things in very big way for those who are expecting to write CAE exams.Even heard some of GO air guys are trying for Indigo.Most of KFA co-pilots will be upgraded to commanders in 2-3 months time.

[LieDetector]

I would be surprised if they conduct an exam anytime soon.

They have 2 batches waiting for Sim check and then onto ground classes, with another 2-3 batches leaving for TR soon and of course there was the exam conducted for TR candidates.

All this due to a wave of pilots who just left kingfisher and continue to do so.

Anyone on these forums who recently joined or soon to join would like to tell us.

[imflyinhigh]

When are the result expected for the exam held on 27th Feb???

[cats200]

Results have been declared for the exam held on 27th feb for TR pilots.....

[PEC]

Results have been declared for the exam held on 27th feb for TR pilots....
Including our friend, Mr. rahulred5, 14 of them made it through to CASS.

[superdunkaroos]

How many appeared?

[smartflyier]

any idea about when will be the next exam ???
did anyone got call for next attempt?

[ITAviator]

I believe its 1st week of April. But people should have got the invite if that was true, isn't it?
If anyone has any more info on this, kindly reply..

[sharma1prash]

[kingcapt]

Did anyone receive any request mail regarding the April exam attempt.

[Jet Blast 007]

nothin as f nw..:ugh:

[flankerpilot]

With the huge Kingfisher exodus and the massive backlog of pilots who were inducted earlier, I seriously doubt we will see any exams for a few months.

[Dreamliner23]

Hello guys...i m new to the forum...i am an aerospace engineering student and will be graduating in 2013 after which i plan to go for flying training. If I want to fly for Indigo ultimately, what would be the best possible route:-

1) Obtain my CPL in USA and then apply for the Type rating qualification program thru CAE.
2) Obtain CPL from CAE Global Academy,Gondia and then the type rating qualification.

Thank you:)

[SaabCapt]

Do this

3) obtain a cpl from states, buy a plane, let us fly too

[Dreamliner23]

I would love to if I had a million bucks....:ugh:

I need a serious answer, it would be really helpful :ok:

[Jet Blast 007]

The best wud be thru CAE-Indigo CPl +type rating. This way u'll have a job atleast.
No point investing so much money without having a job in hand lik all f d others!!

[Dreamliner23]

Thank you...I m confused about one other thing...Is the CASS test only before the type rating qualification? I mean do I need to go through such selection process before joining the CAE - Indigo cadet pilot training programme at Gondia?

[thearsenal]

I am not entirely sure about that but i doubt the process would be the same as the normal indigo cpl holders recruitment with the cass and english test, but dont take my word for it, your best bet would be to inquire with cae about each stage in your process before enrolling in it. you dont want to pay 45 lakhs and land up not having a job. Best of Luck.

[Jet Blast 007]

No clue.. Better for u to give dem a call nd ask dem..

[smartflyier]

guys any news abt next attempt?

[z242l]

Exam on 16th -17th of april. confirmed!!!!! my friends have got the mail also!!!

[STABLE extrovert]

Has anyone else here also received any email for the exam on 16/17 April?

[bayblade]

@z242l, when did you apply to indigo?

[kingcapt]

normally indigo mails you within 2 weeks from exam date .

If 16th and 17th is the exam date then they should mail in last week of march.

[johney_flying_high]

Has Anyone else got the call from Indigo yet??

[maverick11]

yeah......i got the mail......exam is on 16th and 17th april 2012

[smartflyier]

congrats for getting the invitation to appear for the exam
Is indigo chasing money for the first round(written) again??

Kindly reply

[bhambri]

No they are not

[flexiflyer]

What is the last date of application for april attempt?????

[The AeRoDOME]

It would be really kind of any of you people who have received the Invitation for April Attempt , that if any of you could Post the Invitation E-mail Here .

Thanks a ton in advance :) .

[CaptGalaxy]

Last date is 22nd that's tomorrow.
There's no point trying anything, I already spoke to them and i was told the list is full and final, there will be another assessment in a couple of months and you may be shortlisted then.

cheers,
P

[flexiflyer]

whom did u talk to??????

and did u got the call letter???????

[aviator12]

@ Puneeth

As far as i know , the first set of mails have been dispatched. I dont know the authenticity of ur source but after 22nd their will be another set of emails, depending on the number od people that have replied and those who did not. This was definately not the last set of mails for the april attempt

[hinitin123]

i agree with aviator12

and please do not spread rumors if u do not have reliable source.
don't worry guys another set of emails will b dispatched real soon. just wait and watch !!!!

[KKAARR]

has anyone got the Final mail for Roll No....

[cpl holder]

HEy did any one get a second email form cae??? and plz inform if any 1gets the first email today.

[AvIaTo]

I had a word with Miss Sandra on 20th or 21st dont remember exactly.. she said we have limited seats and all the candidates who have got the mail till date are final.. next assessment will be soon so wait till then.. all the best guys who all got the mail/roll number..
and my suggestion, in this forum it says that mainly study human performance.. i gave my first attempt in Jan'12.. believe me i got only 5-6 question from human performance.. so study every single thing.. technical, performance, and human performance too..
Good luck.. do post what question were there this time after the exam..:))

[CaptGalaxy]

flexiflyer (http://www.pprune.org/members/377452-flexiflyer) - i spoke to someone @ CAE Bangalore, the office where Ms Sandra works, i had called them because i havent received a letter either.

aviator12 (http://www.pprune.org/members/384737-aviator12) - I'd be really happy if that's how it is. I'm waiting for a letter too.

hinitin123 (http://www.pprune.org/members/346932-hinitin123) - wouldnt understand why i would
"spread rumors if u do not have reliable source"
I like the way you're trying to look at the bright side and being optimistic though. Do keep that up, will help you with the CASS :)

AvIaTo (http://www.pprune.org/members/378379-aviato)- thanks for reinforcing my words.

cheers,
P

[maverick11]

[smartflyier]

[AvIaTo]

@maverick - the day of exam only they will check ur logbook and yes u should have more than 25 hours of multi to give CAE paper..

[Jibu]

i have given once and they check the all papers at the venue.it the venue same of Nehru place

[shakti03]

I am too waiting for the second mail.. I don't think anybody has received it yet though.. so we should be fine..

Question: Does anybody have FIRST HAND information from Ms. Sandra about the second mail??

[aniqua]

All those who have got a mail please tell me how did you all apply?
did you all just emailed or called any particular number?
please help

[KKAARR]

shakti03 : i think no one has received the Second E-mail Sofa... AM Waiting for it too !
Guys plz advice abt the Content they asked in Last Exam... Shall appreciate !

[Kickass_aviator]

guys they will send the second mail in 1st week april i guess koz people are still getting first set of mails as of now...i jst got the application mail today only..so i guess its gonna be a lil while before they send the shortlisting mails.

[shakti03]

@kkaar: thanks. About the content, I am trying to study just about everything. Doing the questions at the back of the oxford and after every chapter thoroughly is one tip that I have got. This is my first time appearing for Indigo, but a lot of my friends who have got in have advised me to do so. There is no specific topic or book that you can follow to cut down on your work for this one. Pretty much everything has to be done (so I have been told). The exam is different everytime.

@kickass_aviator: thanks for the info. it makes me feel better.

@aniqua: I registered myself on https://pilot.cae.com/ and also sent my CV to the HR person of Indigo, i.e. Parul Huria. You can find her email id on the same ID. I hope this helps.

[FlyBoy787]

any who received the e-mail inviting them for the exam on 16/17 April today?

[KKAARR]

FlyBoy787 : are you talkin abt the Second (Shortlisting ) mails ?

[STABLE extrovert]

Still waiting for the second mail. Please advice if anyone has received the final confirmation mail.

[FlyBoy787]

@KKAARR : No, i was referring to the first e-mail. i know of someone who got it day before and was wondering if they were still sending those out.

[flexiflyer]

from whom did u received the initial call???????

because one of my frd who got initial mail from Miss.Parul received his shortlisting mail yesterday night.......

[STABLE extrovert]

I also received my initial mail from Parul but havent received the confirmation till now.

[3greens 1inthemirror]

your friend who got the shortlisting mail.. was he working somewhere???

wonder what the criteria is for shortlisting!

[flexiflyer]

no, he was not working anywhere.......and the foremost thing.... he has already given this exam before.......

[ITAviator]

For the information of all..

If any of your information sent as a reply to CAe's mail, has EVEN ONE field expired, you would not get a Roll No.. This also applies to those who come from influential side of the fence..
-Direct Info from CAe

And I see people talk gyaan about the world, but if asked to share a question bank, nobody wants to..

[STABLE extrovert]

Just got my confirmation mail for the exam on April 16/17.

[flexiflyer]

Congratulations!!!!!! you've won the half battle and All the Best For the remaining half ...
From whom you've received the confirmation mail and What is your Exam date..??

[SSA]

Every one here got conformation mail?? coz i havent yet and my last date for replying was on 28. Any one else whos waiting for confarmation mail?

[vrg380]

Just got the 2nd mail from sandra half an hour ago..!!!

[STABLE extrovert]

In the second mail, Parul Huria has asked me to confirm my availability for the exam (why would anyone say no after reaching so far?). Hall ticket will be issued with the test date and venue details in the first week of April.

[SSA]

U sure about this? I mean many of them already got the confirmation mail.

[STABLE extrovert]

This is what I have received:

Dear Candidate,
You have been shortlisted for the upcoming CAE-IndiGo written test- 16th and 17th April,’12.
In case of a no show please be advised that you will not be called for the test for a period of 3 months. To avoid depriving some other deserving candidate from appearing you are requested to kindly keep your appointment for this test by sending a confirmation email to Ms. Sandra Pinto at [email protected] by April 1st.
After receiving the confirmation, the hall ticket will be issued with the test date and venue details in the first week of April.

Kind Regards,
Parul

[flexiflyer]

Did anyone else received the second email from Sandra.........?????

[flexiflyer]

Did u received the second mail from Sandra???????

[shakti03]

I have too received the second mail.

@ITAVIATOR: Please could you illustrate about what you said about expired field. What did you exactly mean?

[shakti03]

I have received both my initial and short-listing mail from Ms. Sandra.

[flexiflyer]

At when did u received the second email????

[shakti03]

Around 6:30pm today.

[siddharthgunny]

What kind of questions do they ask in the written exam???

[flankerpilot]

^ Are you seriously blind ? 130 pages of information and you ask "what questions they ask?"

:ugh:

[KKAARR]

This Blog has pretty much made us clear regarding their content.. Buddiez i've got a doubt.. DO they ask from Engines & Systems ??

[flexiflyer]

Is there anyone who got the initial mail on 25th or later and is waiting for the second email or got the one?????????

[SSA]

Yes I got my initial mail on 27 n still havent got the confirmation mail..

[flexiflyer]

did anyone received the shortlisting mail today??????

[kingcapt]

Can anyone tell like what where the main topics covered in jan exam for indigo 2012.

[Kickass_aviator]

buddy it all depends whether they ask you to wait or not..sometimes they don't sometimes they do..so just to be on the safer side I would suggest plan your'e stay in Delhi for a couple of days.

[3greens 1inthemirror]

A failed RMI rose is locked on 090° and the ADF pointer indicates 225°. The relative
bearing to the station is :
a 135°.
b Impossible to read, due to failure RMI.
c 315°.
d 225°


can anyone explain this???

Doesn't the ADF give the relative bearing? :rolleyes:

[3greens 1inthemirror]

thanks guys. this made sense. :D

the ADF pointer indicates 225, in the question!

[iiiifly]

hey guys.....congs all those who got the 2nd mail.........:ok:

does any one got the roll number for the xam.....:ugh::{

[ankit9690]

hey guys, I was trying to get in touch with Cae people through email but failed to get a response. I haven't received the first mail and realistically am keeping my hopes on the next attempt. Can please anyone advise as to tentatively when is the next attempt going to be?

[Kickass_aviator]

its on 16th and 17th april

[shashank0819]

How do you ensure one gets a mail from indigo after applying? is there some screening process? I have not got a call and keep updating my CV too. A lot of the people i know did not get the call too. A few of them get a call but not everytime and also lot of times one gets the first e mail but not the conformation e mail, Why?

[AditR]

Has any one received the hall ticket yet....!!!

the email parul had sent said ''the hall ticket will be issued with the test date and venue details in the first week of April.''

[3greens 1inthemirror]

wonder when they'll send it!


Given that the characteristics of a three engine turbojet aeroplane are as follows:
Thrust = 50 000 Newton / Engine
g = 10 m/s²
Drag = 72 569 N
Minimum gross gradient = 2.7%
SIN(Angle of climb) = (Thrust- Drag) / Weight
The maximum take-off mass is:

[3greens 1inthemirror]

If the question had 2 engines total instead of 3, then do we assume that only 1 engine is working?

[AditR]

Got hall ticket for 16th... who els r ther for 16th...??

[vrg380]

even i received for 16th..!!!

[Kickass_aviator]

16th it is...

[AditR]

Iv seen this question couple of times in the past few threads... bt dont knw the ans to it... so plz who eva can help plz let me knw...

Q. Relationship between various V speeds like VMU, VS, V2MIN, VREF, V1 etc.

[flexiflyer]

when did u guys received hall ticket?????

[KKAARR]

Guys could you plz help me out with this problem... Shall appreciate.. !

Q.An aircraft is flying along the 60° S parallel. After one hour the DI indication has increased by 21° . If the latitude nut of the DI has been set to zero drift on the ground at 30° S, the groundspeed of the aircraft is:
A)450 B)520 C)473 D)537

[SuperflyTNT]

What books are you guys using to study Met and Air Law. Please do answer.

[KKAARR]

RK Bali for Air Regs... Oxfords for Met...

Guys Just one Question...

Do they ask on ENGINES ?? If yes then how many questions can one expect...?


( Because i've not read sh*t abt Engines :ugh:)

[thearsenal]

Guys any idea to what extent we have to study regs and met, I've looked through the forum and its not very clear as to whether the entire thing should be studied or just certain parts, oxford met is vast so is regs, will appreciate the help. cheers.

[Kickass_aviator]

just read IC Joshi for met and RK bali for regs..u dont need oxford for these subjects.

[SuperflyTNT]

A/c is corrected for apparent wander at 30 deg S and a/c is flying at 60 deg S
Lat nut correction = 7.5 decreasing (Since apparent wander at 30S is 7.5 inc.)
Apparent wander at 60 S = 12.99 increasing
Apparent wander experienced by a/c = 12.99 inc – 7.5 dec
= 5.49 inc
Total wander mentioned above = 21 inc.
Total wander = Transport wander + Apparent wander
Transport wander = 21 – 5.49 = 15.51
Transport wander = departure X tan lat.
Dept = (15.51/ tan 60) X 60
G/S = 537.2 KTS

[SuperflyTNT]

@kickass_aviator

Thank you.

From my knowledge I've heard they can ask about 10 questions each on Regs and Met. We will have to see.

[thearsenal]

@kickass aviator

cheers. appreciate it. also would any of you guys know what type of performance should be studied, would the performance in ace the techincal pilot interview be enough?

[KKAARR]

P.1.An aircraft heading 130° (M) has an ADF reading of 190° Relative. The heading to steer to intercept the 170° track outbound from the NDB at 30º is: A)190° (M) B)220° (M) C)200° (M) D)210° (M)
P.2.
An aircraft heading 040 (M) has an ADF reading of 060 Relative. The heading to steer to intercept the 120° track inbound to the NDB at 50° is:
A)060(M) B)070(M) C)080(M) D)050(M)
P.3.A hyperbola cuts the base line 60 Km from the Master end and 150 Km from the Slave end. When on the same hyperbola at a range of 90 Km from the Master, the range from the Slave will be:
A)300 km B)150 km C)240 km D)180 km

Anyone ?

[gAMbl3]

P.1.An aircraft heading 130° (M) has an ADF reading of 190° Relative. The heading to steer to intercept the 170° track outbound from the NDB at 30º is:


Heading = 130 M
Rel Bearing = 190

QDM = Heading + Rel Bearing = 130 + 190 = 320

QDR = reciprocal of QDM = 320 -180 = 140. i.e a/c is on the 140 radial/outbound track and heading 130.

If a/c turns 10 degree right it's heading and outbound track will be equal(140 M), if it again turns 30 degree right(170 M) it will fly parallel to 170 outbound track and another 30 degree right (as it has to intercept at 30) it will intercept the 170 track at 30 degree. So it has to turn a total of 10+30+30 =70 degrees to right

Hence heading to steer = 130 M + 70 = 200 M


Similarly P2 :ok:

all the best everyone.. My exm is on the 17th.. :ok:

[SSA]

got roll nos any one??

[thearsenal]

can anybody solve these?

A particular SID requires a minimum climb gradient of 210 feet per NM to 8,000 feet. If you climb with a groundspeed of 140 knots, what is the rate of climb required in feet per minute?
A) 304
B) 210
C) 450
D) 490


A sailplane has lost 2.000 feet in 9 nautical miles. The best glide ratio for this sailplane is approximately:
A) 24:1
B) 27:1
C) 30:1
D) 18:1

[attitudeFlying]

1) The rate of climb can be calculated manually. Take your ground speed in nautical miles per hour, divide by 60 minutes per hour, and multiply by the climb gradient in feet per nautical mile. The result will be the required rate of climb in feet per minute.

So, the ROC reqd. for the above question will be:
140 knots divided by 60= 2.33333 nautical miles per minute

2.33333 x 210 ft/NM = 490 feet/ min

2) Glide Range= (L/D) x height

Substituting the values we get (L/D)= 27:1

Sad yaar, I have been mailing them from ages. first time they sent me initial mail asking for details. Never got roll number. Parul or Sandra never reply to mails nor pick up the calls...
Guys can u plz tell what can be done about this.

[thearsenal]

Anybody up for this, any help would be appreciated.

At 1000 Z an aircraft is overhead NB PE enroute to NDB CN, Track 075(M), Heading 082(M) At 1029 Z NDB PE bears 176 Relative and NDB CN bears 353 Relative. The heading to steer at 1029 Z to reach NDB CN is:
A) 078(M)
B) 081(M)
C) 0082(M)
D) 079(M)

[thearsenal]

An aircraft heading 135° (M) with 13° Right drift intercepts the 082° (M) track outbound from an NDB. The relative bearing of the NDB that confirms track interception is:
A) 137° Relative.
B) 132° Relative.
C) 122° Relative.
D) 127° Relative.

[gAMbl3]

At 1000 Z an aircraft is overhead NB PE enroute to NDB CN, Track 075(M), Heading 082(M) At 1029 Z NDB PE bears 176 Relative and NDB CN bears 353 Relative. The heading to steer at 1029 Z to reach NDB CN is:


Track 075 M
Heading 082 M
Wind correction angle = 82-75 = 7 deg to the right.

At 1029 Z

NDB PE

Heading + Relative bearing = QDM +/- 180 = QDR

082 + 176 = 258 -180 = 078 QDR

Plan track = 075
Track made good = 078

A/c has drifted 3 deg to the right (78 -75) which means the wind correction angle of 7 deg is more than that required for track 075 M. WCA should be 7 -3 = 4 deg.


NDB PE

Heading + Relative bearing = QDM

082 + 353 = 075 M QDM

To reach NDB PE the A/c needs to track 075M. Wind correction angle for 075 M should be 4 deg as explained above and so the heading to steer should be 075 + 4 = 079M

[gAMbl3]

An aircraft heading 135° (M) with 13° Right drift intercepts the 082° (M) track outbound from an NDB. The relative bearing of the NDB that confirms track interception is:


Heading = 135 M

At the point of interception of 082 M outbound track :

If A/c heading = 082 M then Rel bearing = 180

But heading = 135 M

So rel bearing = 180 - (135-82) = 180 - 53 = 127.

Hello everybody, people who have got confirmation mails - Do you have current IR?

This is from CAE website.
"Indian Nationality Indian DGCA issued CPL or higher license with Multi Engine Instrument Rating Indian COP/RTR and FRTO Licenses must be valid at all times Valid Indian Class I medical certificate Fluency in English"

Thank You
Ayush

[Jibu]

ir should have been issued on multi but needs to be valid even it is on single.

[AditR]

I had emailed S.Pinto about it and this is the reply i got..

Please be informed that the IR will not be required to be current during the time of the exam. Only the ME-IR needs to be endorsed on the CPL.

The great circle track X - Y measured at x is 319° , and Y 325° Consider the following statements



319 = westerly track

The direction increases from X (319) to Y (325).

In Southern Hemisphere direction of a westerly great circle increases.

The difference = convergency = 325- 319 = 6
Conversion angle = 6/2 = 3

Rhumb line track = 319 + 3 = 322


Answer : D) Southern hemisphere, Rhumb line track is 322° .




*In Northern Hemisphere direction of a westerly great circle decreases.

In Northern Hemisphere direction of a easterly great circle increases.

In Southern Hemisphere direction of a easterly great circle decreases.

In Southern Hemisphere direction of a westerly great circle increases.

P.3.A hyperbola cuts the base line 60 Km from the Master end and 150 Km from the Slave end. When on the same hyperbola at a range of 90 Km from the Master, the range from the Slave will be:
A)300 km B)150 km C)240 km D)180 km

Soln:
Let one arm of hyperbola be Master(M) and other arm as Slave(S).
Center(O)
Given: MO=60 and SO= 150.
Hence the distance between the two arms of hyperbola i.e. MS=150-60=90 (which is a constant)
Same parabola, new location Mi and Si. Although with same center and MS=90
MiO= 90
Thus, MiO + 90 = SiO = Range of Slave = 180

An aircraft has a climb gradient of 7 percent after take-off. There is an obstacle having a height of 320ft at a distance of 5400ft from the screen. The aircraft will clear the obstacle by:
A)108 ft B)58 ft C)93 ft D)378 ft

[gAMbl3]

Q. A is N55*000*E/W and B is N54*E010*. The Average true GC is 100*. The true course of Rhumb line at point A is ?


Convergency = d long X sin mean lat = 10 x Sin {(55+54)/2} = 10 x Sin 54.5 = 8

C angle = 8/2 = 4

Average true GC = 100

At point A : RL = GC + CA = 100 + 4 = 104

[ITAviator]

Q. A is N55*000*E/W and B is N54*E010*. The Average true GC is 100*. The true course of Rhumb line at point A is ?
a) 096
b) 104

I feel,
Average True GC=100. This also means this is the GC track at the centre of the course which is same as Rhumb line track.

Q. Two positions plotted on a Polar Stereographic A 80N000E/W B 70N102W are joined by a Straight line whose highest lattitude is reached at 035W. At point B, the true course is ?
a) 230
b) 203
c) 023
d) 030

Soln:
Diagram has to be drawn, which i cannot here..
A = 80N000E/W lies on smaller circle of 80N intersecting at 000 E/W
B = 70N102W lies on bigger circle of 70N intersecting at 102W
Centre of circle is North Pole (N)

From given data: we get a triangle ANB, Angle ANB=102 (Long diff between A and B),
Required is angle NBA, which is True Course from B to A.
Highest lat=35W, a line drawn from N perpendicular
to AB at point P.
Hence Angle ANP = 35 deg.

In triangle ANP, Ang ANP=35, ang NAP=90, hence ang PAN = 180-(90+35) = 55
Now with this data, in triangle ANB, ang ANB=102, ang PAN/BAN = 55, hence ang NBA = 180-(102+55) = 023

Can you give a look on that Climb Gradient Question i posted there.. :ugh:
just not able to get the answer !

[KKAARR]

& here, the another one

Q. Still air gradient of climb: 5%
TAS: 250 kts
G/S: 200 kts
The rate of climb is: A)2000 fpm B)1250 fpm C)500 fpm D)1000 fpm

[gAMbl3]

An aircraft has a climb gradient of 7 percent after take-off. There is an obstacle having a height of 320ft at a distance of 5400ft from the screen. The aircraft will clear the obstacle by:


For obstacle clearance, screen height = 50 ft

Climb gradient = 7% after take off i.e. after reaching screen height the a/c will climb 7 ft for every 100 ft horizontal.

At 5400 ft from screen height, height of a/c =50 + [(7 x 5400)/100] = 50 + 378 = 428 ft

obstacle height = 320 ft

clearance = 428 - 320 = 108 ft

[KKAARR]

Thank you very much bro ! You Rock :ok:

But the problem above... the one with Answer 500ft... Isn't the answer 1250 ft/min.. ??

[gAMbl3]

1 act QDM 330° act HDG 060° req QDM 350° Intercept HDG?

QDM 330
QDR = 330 - 180 = 150 (Seg AC)
So a/c on radial 150 (Point C)

req QDM = 350, QDR = 170 (Seg AD)

interception angle 45 deg (if angle is not mentioned). *answer to question 3*
angle CED = 45

http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/320/intrcpt.jpg


AD parallel to BC

CD perpendicular to AD and BC

In triangle EDC, CED = ECD = 45 deg and EDC = 90 deg

DAC = BCA = 20 deg (QDR 170 - QDR 150)

angle BCD = BCA + ACE + ECD

90 = 20 + ACE + 45

ACE = 25 deg

So if the a/c at point C on seg AC (QDM 330/QDR 150) and wants to intercept seg AD (QDM 350/QDR 170) at 45 deg, it will have to turn left to a heading of 330 - ACE = 330 - 25 = 305.


2 .act QDM 140° act HDG 020° req QDM 110° First turn?

Similarly

45 deg intecept

An aircraft is over flying a VOR at 30.000 ft, at a groundspeed of 300 kt. The maximum time during which no usable signals will be received (in minutes and seconds) is:
A) 4.40
B) 1:40
C) 2.25
D) 0.50

[Maverick2167]

1.Aircraft Height = 30,000 Ft which= 4.9NM (taking 6080 ft = 1 Nm)
2.Assuming VOR elevation angle of 40 degrees (default)
3.Using Trigonometry : (right angled Triangle)
a. Tan 40 Degrees = 4.9 NM / distance traveled (D)
b. D= 4.9 / Tan 40 Degrees therefore D= 5.8 NM
c. find Time taken At G/S of 300 Kts to cover 5.8 NM ?
d. time taken = (5.8 NM / 300 NM / hr ) x 2 = 2.32 approx to 2.25 :8

[gAMbl3]

An aircraft is over flying a VOR at 30.000 ft, at a groundspeed of 300 kt. The maximum time during which no usable signals will be received (in minutes and seconds) is:

As per ICAO, VOR shall provide signal up to a minimum elevation angle of 40 deg.

http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3953/vor2.jpg

Point B is directly overhead VOR at height 30,000 ft.

So angle AOB = 90 - 40 = 50 deg

AB x 2 = total distance in which there will no usable signal.

AB = OB x tan 50 = 30,000 x tan 50 ft.

AB x 2 = 60,000 x tan 50 ft = (60,000 x tan 50) / 6080 nm = 11.76 nm

groundspeed = 300 kts

Time = 11.76 / 300 = 2 min 21 sec

[thearsenal]

cheers guys really appreciate it.

[amritsar]

thanks....

[ITAviator]

I agree, there is a confusion here..

Its my understanding that gradient will be the same any which way. But if the wind is no longer still, we use the same gradient and GS. TAS can be used only in still air conditions, but in the example, we clearly have 50kts headwind..
Consider we have to clear an obstacle during T/O, and have a authorized gradient for still wind, but have a tailwind component. We cannot calculate the ROC using TAS.

Hence, for the required problem, we would need to use GS.. Its of course debatable.

[thearsenal]

Can anybody give me the right formula for approximate maximum range for VORs? I have ROOT 1.5 x height in feet. I tried a couple of sums but couldnt get the answer.


An aircraft at FL 100 should be able to receive a VOR ground station at 100 FT above MSL at an approximate maximum range of:
A) 123 NM
B) 135 NM
C) 142 NM
D) 130 NM

Either one of these is the correct answer. Dont know how though.

[gAMbl3]

1.23 root h1 + 1.23 root h2 = max range

h1 = height of VOR station
h2 = height of a/c


1.23 root 100 + 1.23 root 10000 = 12.3 + 123 = 135.3

If only Flight level is given and height of station = 0 then use 12 root FL i.e. 12 root 100 (if in the above question h1 = 0)

[thearsenal]

cheers man, you're the go to guy here. really appreciate all the responses man, really nice of you.


The time interval between the transmission of a given DME interrogation pulse and the reception of the appropriate response pulse at the aircraft is 2 milli seconds. The slant range is:
A) 162 nm
B) 92 nm
C) 73 nm
D) 323 nm

[thearsenal]

@Gambl3

Scratch that, I got it, cheers bro.

[gAMbl3]

The time interval between the transmission of a given DME interrogation pulse and the reception of the appropriate response pulse at the aircraft is 2 milli seconds. The slant range is:

Time interval = 2 mili sec

Speed of radio wave = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Distance traveled by the pulse in 2 mili sec = (2 x 10^-3) x (3 x 10^8) m = 6 x 10^ 5 m = (6 x 10^5) / 1852 nm = 323.9 nm


In 2 mili sec the pulse has traveled from the a/c to the ground station and back to the a/c.

323.9 nm = distance traveled by the pulse from the a/c to the ground station and back to the a/c.

So distance (slant range) of a/c from ground station = 323.9/2 = 161.9 nm

[SSA]

Distance traveled by the pulse in 2 mili sec = (2 x 10^-6) x (3 x 10^8) m = 6 x 10^ 5 m = (6 x 10^5) / 1852 nm = 323.9 nm

CAN U PLEASE EXPLAIN Y DID U TAKE 10^-6 instead of 10^-3. CANT UNDERSTAND.

[3greens 1inthemirror]

He wrote it 10^-6 but calculated using 10^-3.

Typo!

[ITAviator]

2 millisec = 2/1000 sec = 2x10*-3 seconds = Time
Speed = Speed of sound = Speed of Radio wave = 300000000 m/s =3x10*8 m/s

Distance = Speed x Time
= (2x10*-3) x (3x10*8) = 6,00,000 m = 600 km
1nm = 1.85 km
Hence, 600km = 600/1.85 = 323.9 nm

This distance is to and fro distance
Hence, 323.9/2 = 161.95 nm

N plz do share some quests asked in dis attempt

[Maverick2167]

Q 1.a.Aircraft Height= 2500ft which = 0.4111Nm (approx of 1Nm=6080ft)
b. Using 1 in 60 rule we have, Required distance= (0.4111 Nm / 3° ) X60
c. Required D = 8.22 Nm
Note = you can also use trigonometry but you will get answer of 7.8Nm

Q.2.Convergency = change of Longitude X sine of Lat (mean Lat)
= 18 X Sine 60 = 15.5°
Convergent Angle = 15.5/2 which Equals 7.8°

Q.3 Convergency between 030°W & 025°W = 4.33 CA= 2.2
departure= {(Ch"long X60) X Cos Lat} Departure = {(5°X60) x Cos 60}= 150Nm
Using 1 in 60 rule Find distance off track : 2.2 = {Dot / 150 } X 60 = 5.5Nm
Therefore 5.5Nm/60 =5°30' which equates 60°60'S

Q4.departure @ 53° N = 12999Nm ,
Scale @53°N ={133/12999}=18100000 aprx
Scale @ 30 N = {18100000 X cos 30}/Cos 53 = 26000000(apprx to 25000000)

Q.5 convergence = Dlong X sinLat

Question (http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east/434171-indigo-call-letters-freshers-135.html#post7130495)
Q. Two positions plotted on a Polar Stereographic A 80N000E/W B 70N102W are joined by a Straight line whose highest lattitude is reached at 035W. At point B, the true course is ?
a) 230
b) 203
c) 023
d) 030

Answer (http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east/434171-indigo-call-letters-freshers-135.html#post7130656)

Diagram has to be drawn, which i cannot here..
A = 80N000E/W lies on smaller circle of 80N intersecting at 000 E/W
B = 70N102W lies on bigger circle of 70N intersecting at 102W
Centre of circle is North Pole (N)

From given data: we get a triangle ANB, Angle ANB=102 (Long diff between A and B),
Required is angle NBA, which is True Course from B to A.
Highest lat=35W, a line drawn from N perpendicular
to AB at point P.
Hence Angle ANP = 35 deg.

In triangle ANP, Ang ANP=35, and NAP=90, hence ang PAN = 180-(90+35) = 55
Now with this data, in triangle ANB, ang ANB=102, ang PAN/BAN = 55, hence ang NBA = 180-(102+55) = 023


NPA should be 90, not NAP, right?

http://i.imgur.com/68Sv9.png

My understanding is that we need to find the true course at B(which isn't really angle NBA). You have done a great job ITAviator. :ok:

Since it is a Polar Stereographic Chart(PSC), Chart convergency = dLong = 102 deg.
Also, in a PSC, above 70N, Great Circles are straight lines. So, APB is a Great Circle. True course of this GC at A can be found out since we have already calculated angle NAP.
True course of GC at A is 360-55=305.
Convergency is equal to the difference between the GC directions between two given meridians. So, difference between true course of GC at A and B is convergency i.e. 102. Also, westerly in N.H., GC direction decreases.
So, true course of GC at B=305-102= 203

Correct me if wrong, please.:E

[ITAviator]

Thanks for your method, I usually opt trigo for solving as I find it easier, although your approach is great.
Although the last step should be: 203-180 = 023
Reason: N is North, the True Course at A for B is 305, hence the corresponding course from B to A has to approx be less than 180, its not practical otherwise. You can try drawing a general Lambert's figure for same to get a better idea.

Note: The angle NBA is the true course at B. True course is always, if not mentioned otherwise, a GC track. Here the line B to N i.e. BN is True North and BA is GC, hence NBA is True GC track at B for A.

b) 203
c) 023
d) 030

That question (http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east/434171-indigo-call-letters-freshers-135.html#post7130495) could have been framed better. It is a very good question but has been framed ambiguously.

If it is-What is the value of initial straight line track from B to A? Then ITAviator's answer (http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east/434171-indigo-call-letters-freshers-136.html#post7135242) 023 is correct.
If it asked-What is the value of the final straight line track from A to B? Then, my answer (http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east/434171-indigo-call-letters-freshers-136.html#post7134831) of 203 is correct.

hey guys i came to know that before exam they r calling candidates and asking them r u coming to appear for the exam or not. is it true?

[flyer111]

hiiii aviators
Please advise me is it enough study from all oxford books for any airlines written exams??

Thank you in advance

[thearsenal]

So on the 17th the exam was pretty easy. Honestly not tough. If youve really studied, you would clear.

I'm going to try and put down as many questions as i can.
Human performance, in my exam was the key, so that, you have to do thoroughly, there were a bunch of questions so you have to really do that book inside out, again this was for my exam I've heard in the past that many questions haven't come from this topic.

QUESTIONS FROM MY EXAM

REGS

emergency codes, highjack radio comm failure.
ifr altitudes to be maintained inside and outside controlled airspace.
light signals double cross at an airport - that is glider flying in progress.

MET
tropopause altitude at the equator and at poles.
windshear, is it caused due to updrafts or downdrafts below a cb.
a metar question where they gave a code it was a strange one it was numbers, atleast 8 of them and they asked what is the state of the runway.
raining, snow, broken, or braking coefficient which was .28 not sure about the answer.

HUMAN PERFORMANCE
Tons of questions, hypoxia, hyperventilation, SHELL model, psychological processes. Honestly I dont remember them all. BUT DO THIS TOPIC WELL.

INSTRUMENTS- not much
Magnetism- directive force.
DG.
Mach No, speed of sound, TAS calculations.

GENERAL/ BASIC NAV
descent
lots of calculations on G/S determining wind speeds etc - Flight computer can be used for most.
ISOGRIVES - not sure what that was but it might be lines connecting places of equal grivation. Thats what I marked atleast.

RADIO NAV
Nothing came from here. Surprisingly.

OK IMPORTANT ONE HERE. - FLIGHT PLANNING.
atleast 5 questions came from here. cant recall them all, but there were some regarding particular items in a flight plan. item no.7, item no. 9, wake turbulence categories.
I hadnt done anything from flight planning, so it was a bit of an issue.

AERODYNAMICS
10 Questions towards the end of the paper
mainly about stalling, what affects stall speed, stall speed in a 60 degree turn 1.41 percent etc.
Position of CP in relation to Aerodynamic center in a symmetrical aerofoil.
CL= 0 for a positively cambered aerofoil at what angle of attack positive, negative, neutral.

PERFORMANCE
Nothing from here as far as i remember.

OK GUYS SO AGAIN THIS IS WHAT MY PAPER WAS LIKE. So any advice that i may have offered may not be what you have to study, because the exam varys all the time. If I could give any useful advice, well then just study hard I know everybody says this, but it does pay off, no shortcuts.

Hope this helps. If I do remember anything else I will keep you'll posted.

A special shoutout to Gambl3, really appreciated the responses to almost every question that I posted on this thread. Thanks alot.

Can Some body please solve this for me :

What is the slant range error for an aircraft flying at 9000 feet absolute altitude above a DME located at elevation 2000 ft, when the slant range is 12 NM?

A)0,09 NM.
B)0,57 NM.
C)1,42 NM.
D)0,31 NM.

[keith williams]

What is the slant range error for an aircraft flying at 9000 feet absolute altitude above a DME located at elevation 2000 ft, when the slant range is 12 NM?

A)0,09 NM.
B)0,57 NM.
C)1,42 NM.
D)0,31 NM.



The difference between slant range and true horizontal range can be tested using the following equation:

True Range = √(Slant Range squared – Aircraft Height squared)

The wording of the question is rather curious in that it states that the “an aircraft at 9000 feet absolute altitude above a DME located at 2000 feet elevation”. This should be interpreted as meaning that the height of the aircraft is 9000 feet above the DME.

Multiplying by 1 nm / 6080 feet converts the 9000 feet into 1.48 nm

With the aircraft at 1.48 nm above the DME at slant range of 12 nm we have the following:

True Range = √(Slant Range squared – Aircraft Height squared)

True Range = √(12 nm squared – 1.48 nm squared) = 11.91.

So the slant range is 12 nm and the true range is 11.91 nm, giving an error of 0.09 nm.



An aircraft flying at flight level 250 wishes to interrogate a DME beacon situated 400 ft above mean sea level.
What is the maximum range likely to be achieved?
A)198 nm.
B)222 nm.
C)175 nm.
D)210 nm.



Because radio waves travel in straight lines, the maximum range of DME is limited by the height of the aeroplane, the height of the transmitter and the curvature of the earth.

Maximum range can be calculated using the standard equation:

Max range = 1.25 x (√ aircraft height + √ ground station height)

The aircraft is at FL250 which is 25000 feet.

The DME ground station is at 400 feet so:

Max range = 1.25 x (√ 25000 ft + √ 400 ft) = 222.64 nm.

The closest option is 222 nm.

Guys Does anyone has any news on when is Indigo Gonna Induct the people who are waiting after finishing their A320 Type ratings & Skill Checks ?

[SSA]

Guys today's exam was easy but not like previous 2days.. Luckily I cleared this but I would really advice u guys not 2 stick 2 one sub like human performance or jus nav... 2days xam covered 60-65% tech with very much confusing options n not even single quest on met...

[_L_]

hello everyone, I am really confused about how to apply for indigo cae program. I have mailed twice about 6 months ago, and I didnt get any reply or response. How long do you have to wait before you can get a call for the exam? And do they notify you via email or phone?

Also can any one recommend or know any good ground classes in bangalore as I need to refresh my self with navigation(been long time since I have studied).

Thanks :).

[weapon-x]

Guys ,

results out yet ???

[thearsenal]

Are there any more exam dates for indigo or only 16th 17th and 18th ofApril?

[snowleopard]

Hey guys,

I'd be glad if somebody could shed a little light on this.

I'm starting my CPL training in June. I have a whole month and I would like to prepare myself in advance before I start training.

Any idea on what would be the best books to use in preparing for the DGCA CPL theory papers (beginner; self study) would be of great help.

Regards,
SL

Does anyone know when the next exam is going to be held? I havnt been receiving any letters from CAE and really want to appear for the exam. I have been sending emails to Parul and Radhika and have also reapplied with the CAE program with no luck. Please do post if anyone has any information. It would be great help. Thank you

:ooh: Woooh..!!

Awesome man..! thanks

[smartflyier]

guys any suggestion on how to get a call for the exam??
never managed to get a call for the assessment.

[KKAARR]

Hey Fellas.. has anyone else got call for CASS on 22nd... ? ?

[Kingmaker500]

@flexiflyer..you remember 64 questions with the exact options and exact wordings!??:confused: or did they allow you to take the question paper home(which i doubt). You must have a powerful memory!

[flexiflyer]

With the grace of God I remember only these few questions out of 100.....:)

[blackbirdsr72]

Mr King maker... he has done a great thing by posting the questions in this forum to help you guys. rather than studying/referring the questions you are bothered about how he got the questions......:=

[cyrilroy21]

This time exams were conducted over a period of 3 days . The norm was usually 2 days with 50 candidates on each day .

So does that mean there were 150 candidates for April attempt ?

Can those of you who had the exams on the 16 , 17 , 18 confirm that there were atleast 50 candidates on each day of the exam ?
Any idea about the pass rates on each day ?

[flexiflyer]

on 16th 20-25, 17th 20-25 and 18th 19 candidates cleared the exam.....

[flight517]

no more exams this year thanks to the kingfisher debacle:*

[cyrilroy21]

@flight517

Whats your source for the above info ?

[bayblade]

@flight517,
the speculation that no more exams would be held, courtesy kingfisher, was doing rounds even before the last attempt. what makes to say so this time?:suspect:

[spoolkick]

to be precise, 24 ppl cleared on 17th

[johney_flying_high]

Well, on 16th-23 people cleared, on 17th-24 people cleared and on 18th again 23 people cleared.

[shakti03]

There is a lot of speculation about wether or not the next exam will happen.

If Somebody could post some first hand information regarding this. It will be a huge help.

Question: Will there be another attempt soon? Approximately WHEN?

PS: I realize almost everybody is looking for the same answer. I still just wanted to put this. I am too desperately trying to find out. I will post the same if I find out something.

Thanks

[rahulred5]

The fact is .... there are a lot of people waiting for either sim checks or ground training. Right now especially with the amount of people on standby (those who have already been inducted) they would be foolish to have monthly recruitments until they clear present backlog.

[livetokill22]

yeah they do have quite a bit of back log.
so when is candidate considered inducted? After the interview or the sim check?

[SuperflyTNT]

Is this the CAE address in bangalore where they do the CASS ?

i cleared my written in June 2011 and having done with my Interview and sim check i'm yet to join.

After clearing your interview if you are planning to take a loan for your type rating please bear in mind that it will take almost 1 year to sign the final consensual with IndiGo.

Absolutely correct, but the news is despite of all the back logs their is a news , almost confirm that they have another induction in july. Dont know what they have planned, but definately they have something in mind. KFA pilots have delayed everything. I myself have cleared on the 18th and now i am waiting for CASS date..

[shakti03]

Are you sure there will be another exam in JULY??

What is your source? I only ask as to estimate the authenticity of the information.

[3greens 1inthemirror]

[3greens 1inthemirror]

[nishantgupta2009]

Indigo wiil not trash but the thing is everyone who joined recently and who all are waiting to join all are on hold, Indigo is not able to cope up with all intakes of kf itself, so ppl suffering most r the cae candidates

[rahulred5]

It's not just the CAE candidates, us type rated candidates are also on hold. Still waiting for our sim checks more than a month after interview.

At least consider yourselves lucky to have one foot through the door.

What is waiting period as of now after getting type rating from CAE for joining in Indigo Airlines , I am asking this bcz one of my friend said its 6 months , is it true.

Thanx in advance guys.

[boeing787dreamliner]

Is that possible that if someone has failed in the interview round can re appear for the written exam again after a duration of time . ?

[bhambri]

failing in cass or interview you are not allowed to re-appear for written exam.

[ali81085]

As of today the candidates currently in CAE and the one who will be leaving for their TR will easily have to wait for a year for their induction. My friends with type endorsement from november are still waiting . I have a feb endorsement.
