@ aviator3233

Received your roll no yet?

[ikarus-]

how many candidates are sitting this time;my guess is around 2000

[aviator3233]

Not yet....did you ? are you giving in mumbai ?
Is there anyone left to get the roll no yet for mumbai ??

[flymore787]

Not yet my friend.

Planning to be patient for another day.

Fingers crossed!
Pm me for further coordination.

Best luck!

[grandfather]

I believe they are coming thick and fast now!

All the very best to everyone!

[Aditya Sharma]

Anybody who dint receive email.

[mike_bravo]

any idea hw many pilots indigo is going to hire in this recruitment drive???????? what has been the average number of pilots they recruited in past??

[grandfather]

This is the latest from CAE ------


Given the enthusiastic response from young and budding candidates we are lowering/revising the age limit to 18 years (as on 22nd February, 2015). Eligible candidates are requested to update/refresh their profiles on the website till 10th February, 2015. We will conduct the examination at 4 locations namely; Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata.

[aviator3233]

Is there negative marking in the exam ??

[dragstar]

Ques: The lift coefficient (CL) of an aeroplane in steady flight is 0.42, increase in angle of attack of 1 degree increases CL by 0.1. A vertical up gust instantly changes the AOA by 3 degrees. The load factor will be?

Answer: 1.71

How?? Can someone explain with reason / calculation?

[avl998]

Well the question says u r in a steady flight so I assume lift equals weight. That means cl which is 0.42 is also the value for my weight and den since d angle of attack increased by 3° the cl becomes 0.72 but my weight remains 0.42 so load factor is 0.72/0.42=1.71 I hope u get it.

[piston2jet]

NOTE - Load Factor in Straight & Level Flight (SnL) = 1

The Question says - Increase in Angle of Attack (AoA) of 1 degree increases CL by 0.1. Therefore change of 3 degree AoA changes CL by 0.1 X 3 = 0.3
CL in SnL = 0.42
CL on experiencing Vertical Gust = 0.42 + 0.3 = 0.72
Now Calculate the % increase in Load Factor (LF) .72/.42 = 1.71
Therefore the increment in LF from SnL is 71%
New LF =( 1 + ( 71% X 1 )) = 1.71

Hope it helps.

[bainsee]

GD and PI for indigo cadet pilot is going to be in march. No dates confirmed yet. Probably in the first or second week. Anybody got some more update plz share.

[kt2686]

GD and PI ..?? Sir are you talking about this exam on 22nd..?? You mean after written whomsoever clear will go through gd and pI first and later CASS..??

[Jibu]

What should a Co-Pilot do if caption is smoking in cockpit and co-pilot is a non smoker?

[grandfather]

Dunno how a 'caption' smokes, however........ Options: 1. Say a mental thanks that you will get to the left hand seat earlier than if 'cap' had not smoked 2. Carry a clothes-line peg and use it on your nose 3. Open the window 4. Pull down the oxygen mask and breathe BUT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, DON'T PREACH TO THE 'CAP'!! (Pls excuse if that was a serious question......just thought to lighten the mood before the all important 22nd Feb!!)

[200hp_stall_freak]

300 people to be finally selected from this batch !! Study hard everyone ! 70 % job done after written, trust me thats how I felt when I got my LOI!! All the very best! :ok:

[kt2686]

Is jaa qbank enough for the indigo paper..? The original 6000 one.. And is passing based on percentile basis or standard 70%..? Can anyone please help out with both the query! Thanks

[Jibu]

@grandfather

This question was asked earlier in the exam for which we are preparing.

[grandfather]

Sincere apologies Jibu.......

Wishing you the best for the exam!

Just for interest......What SHOULD the Co-pilot do when the Cap smokes and the Co doesn't?

[maverick24]

@jibu
The co pilot should tell the captain that he forgot to switch off the no smoking sign.

[Jibu]

@maverick24

Ha ha ha

[Jibu]

Surprised to see msg from cae/ifly regarding exam...

[K.s]

How long does it take to get a 320 endorsement in india?

[piston2jet]

Any place in New Delhi to revise Instrument Procedures?
Thank you
P2J

[piston2jet]

Any suggestion??? .
I just wanted to revise instrument flying in order to be better prepared for round II in case I qualify written. I am practicing on MS Flight Sim but still not confident :uhoh:

[cyrilroy21]

@piston2jet

They dont test instrument procedures in the CASS round .

Infact it not even a conventional simulator test .

Its slightly different and how its done has been described numerous times in previous posts as well

If you are on facebook you should be able to see this video

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=115325101938852

[piston2jet]

@Cyril Roy

Thank you

[cyrilroy21]

IndiGo has announced the results . Congrats to all the candidates that go through

[grandfather]

As always.....first with the news! Thank you Cyril!

Guardian Angel of the newbees.........not a lightly given title!

[cyrilroy21]

Somebody has been kind enough to compile 116 / 120 questions that appeared for JFO 2015
You can go through it to figure out where you went wrong

http://www.scribd.com/doc/258107832/Question-Bank

[aviator26888]

Guys a lot of people are posting ads related to indigo Cass (on fb). I just spoke to one guy and he told me that he has the exact same software that cae is using for Cass. Now I know that they are using Lock on, but didn't understand how to get a navigation screen and a software that will throw similar questions at me while m flying. Does any of you have that software?

[Udit88]

HI BUDDY,

i just joined 6E as JFO.There is no prep for CASS just remember be honest.They just test your multi tasking..In between the voice will share a 4 digit passcode make sure u remember that..rest everything will be fine. nuthin to worry about....

[Madhu]

Can anyone shed some light on what would be asked in interview. I have gone through the previous posts and all i could find is HR questions and questions on jeppesen enroute charts. Is there anything else we should be concerned about?
Any help us really appreciated

[kt2686]

@Udit88: thanks a lot buddy.. I was confused on the same issue...

[Skyblade]

@Udit88
i just joined 6E as JFO.

Thanks your comment.
Would you care to share what salary and terms of contract indigo is offering to a fresher?

[mitble67]

Hi everyone,
Can anyone kindly tell me if indigo Airlines hire expatriates and the contract thereof. If there's rotation and possibly what to expect if one secures an interview with them? Thank you

[cyrilroy21]

@mitble67

IndiGo does not hire expats for FO positions as the DGCA does not allow expat FO's in India due to the huge number of unemployed local pilots

Expat Captains on the other hand are in demand due to the rapid expansion

Check the websites of the various pilot hiring agencies A320 captain vacancies in India

[beat it]

H guys.i m interested in indigo cadet programe. I m going to apper for wriitten test in august.the portion for written test is 12th std math,phy and english.can anyone please advice me on how to prepare for it.

[mitble67]

Thanks a bunch for the info. That's noted

[robusta]

Hi, Looking for someone in Bangalore to practice with for the upcoming CASS. Anyone game ?

[MadeInIndia]

Can anybody share the HR interview questions for CASS!
that'll be helpful
Thanks

[AviatorGNamaste]

IndiGo will not be conducting JFO written test until 8 months from now. Solid news.

[josh121.5]

Indigo's third round is happening in full swing , Today the second batch had their GD and PI :D

[AA350XWB]

Indigo's third round is happening in full swing , Today the second batch had their GD and PI :D

What's GD & PI?

[speagle1]

Any idea what sequence they are following? Is it roll number-wise or merit-wise or random? Considering that the roll numbers themselves were exam center-wise, then candidates from one location seem to be going into round 3, while candidates from other locations are getting more and more frustrated since even round 2 has not been done for them!

[TurboTiger]

Folks are called for the GD/PI as per the CASS sequencing. Total of 20 candidates called till now. Interviews held weekly every Tuesday. 10 candidates each day. The sequencing of the CASS exams is something CAE knows best but it is definitely not as per location or roll number.

Cheers

[nihaal71]

What's GD & PI?

Group discussion and personal interview

[aviator3233]

Any news about the next JFO exam happening this year ?
Thanks

[AA350XWB]

Group discussion and personal interview<br />
<br />
Oh I see. Thanks.😊😊

[nihaal71]

Any news about the next JFO exam happening this year ?
Thanks
You can't really say
449 people cleared the written
They are calling 3 people a day for cass monday to Friday
10 folks every Tuesday for interview
Unless things speed up I don't really know how they can accommodate another batch on top of the type rated people.
But you never know.

[TurboTiger]

Things are moving fast at 6E. 12th May interview results are out. 8 out of 10 got through.

[aviator3233]

Yup..hoping for good !!

[viman_chalak]

Hi, does anyone know the topics that were given for GD for the last two batches ?

[AA350XWB]

Guys just curious. What if someone doesn't have type rating from CAE?

[Madhu]

One was about MH370
the other topic is which type of government do you prefer honest and inefficient one or dishonest and efficient one

[viman_chalak]

Thank you very much for sharing that info Madhu !

[AA350XWB]

I just met a friend of mine who is going to Delhi for training for ground staff. She said there are 4 other people with her who are pilots and they too are gonna be working as ground staff for 6 months and then maybe get to fly a plane.

Is it true? We have to work as ground staff before sitting in the right seat of the Airbus?

[aer_bourne]

Absolutely not. You don't need to work as ground staff unless you applied for that position

[AA350XWB]

Oh Okay.:ooh:

[kt2686]

One of my friend was asked... Ig you fly from delhi to muscat on single engine where normally you fly twin engine (A320)... in which case you will consume more fuel..?

[kt2686]

Someone was asked.. How good are you on controls..? what should be the acceptable n realistic answer...

[bawa]

hi. Any guys from cpl non rated batch have got cass dates. I paid the cass fee in April end not heard from them since.

[Madhu]

There are a few ppl who paid for CASS in April and still did'nt get date.
You will be getting sooner or later.Nothing to worry about. You can try mailing or calling them if you have some contact number

[AviatorGNamaste]

From where does one prepare for the aptitude questions?
What all topics are to be covered(regarding aptitude)

[nihaal71]

Cass for all candidates will be done within the next 2 months

[Madhu]

For aptitude try PAT on facebook. It does not cover spatial reasoning and mirror images. These topics can be done from RS Aggarwal

[FULLMILITARYPOWER]

guys ive heard that only a very few are getting eliminated at the cass round and almost all are progressing onto the gd pi stage. can anyone elaborate as to whether that's true? how many are they looking to finally hire from 449 shortlists from written round?

[AviatorGNamaste]

For aptitude try PAT on facebook. It does not cover spatial reasoning and mirror images. These topics can be done from RS Aggarwal

Thanks. Rs aggarwal. Can you mention the name of the book also.

[Madhu]

Its 'Modern approach to verbal and non verbal reasoning' by RS Aggarwal

[AviatorGNamaste]

Its 'Modern approach to verbal and non verbal reasoning' by RS Aggarwal

Thank you.

[kt2686]

Can anyone suggest bout CASS ?? How important is it to indigo? My cass didnt go as well as i expected.. I didnt crash or sthn.. Did clear both the missions with avg answering of the ques.. And what is their passing criteria to cass..?

[AA350XWB]

Indigo finalizes 250 A320Neo order.

IndiGo finalizes $26.55 billion purchase of 250 new Airbus A320 Neo jets - The Economic Times (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/airlines-/-aviation/indigo-finalizes-26-55-billion-purchase-of-250-new-airbus-a320-neo-jets/articleshow/48510765.cms)

Airbus to convince SpiceJet to buy A320 too.

I read somewhere that it takes 12 pilots for 100% utilization of A320 so that's 3,000 upcoming jobs for pilots. :)

[aviator3233]

any news about the next CPL exam this year ??

[Phoenix911]

Any CPL exam from 6E is unlikely as they have 450 people to process this year...that would stretch till next summer I suppose...still fingers crossed and keep studying as CAE can conduct exam anytime before to keep their stocks up.
As for CASS; it's really not advisable to play that episode in your minds as things would look bleaker with every repetition...prepare for the next round.
Anyone have any news for PI/GD...are they happening?

[VT-delta]

Hi all,

Is there any one here who had not cleared the interview round before with IndiGo before.
But has cleared writtens which was on 22nd Feb 2015 , And waiting for CASS,

I have some news that will be of some help plus need some advise about the same.

Pls get in touch in PM.

Thx.




Thx

[abhishekghag]

Does anyone have a update on the GD/PI at the moment? Apparently CASS is complete for all 449 candidates as per siddhart pandey as of august end.

[aviatorrulz]

Hi,
I cleared cass in 2011 and flunked in GD round. Now have cleared the writtens in feb 2015... Received some form to be filled up today 7 sep 2015..Kindly contact me on 9894957951 or 7585049836...

[iamapilot]

hi...not all are done with CASS yet. I know some people who are left with CASS. I think around 400 should be done by now

[Jolly87]

hello,guys

i am new user to pprune post/forum.


my dgca cpl/ir is under process,

can anyone say when next indigo would be comming up ? this year or jan/feb16 ?
some one mentioned , these 400 will stretch cass n all till nxt summer.

but noone looks to comment on that.

would it be good to have 320tr for this vacancy or it will make it narrower!

someone please shed these out for other unemployed people.

[cyrilroy21]

For those of you whose interview is pending for JFO 2015 CAE has put up a link where they show the Tentative Interview dates for JFO 2015 . You will need to log into your CAE account

https://pilot.cae.com/programs/indigo.aspx

[aviator3233]

How many people left for the JFO 2015 interview ?? and the others who have already been interviewed gone for their type ?

[aviator1111]

Guys any idea about the process of securing an education loan for type rating on the basis of LOI provided by IndiGo?
I went to SBI head office in Delhi to inquire about the same. They said that as this is not a degree or a certificate course, they cant provide me an education loan.
Even Cradila (HDFC) is not entertaining people with LOI.
Any bank/financial intitution that can provide a loan for TR on the basis of LOI?

[speagle1]

To the best of my knowledge, banks won't give an educational loan. But personal loan is possible.... Higher interest rates though.

[iamapilot]

Can anyone please tell some interview questions? My interview is expected in Nov. for JFO. Thanks

[Phoenix911]

The tentative interview dates for JFO 2105 have been postponed for 2 weeks on average...dunno what's taking so much time.
Hi @Cyril , have all the JFO2014 August batch people been absorbed?
How many batches till now from JFO2015?

[nihaal71]

2014 has been absorbed 2015 will start from this month end on.

[The AeRoDOME]

Greetings People!

Any clue regarding as to when Indigo may conduct the next JFO exam?

Thanks

[A69]

I hope after or when they're about to be done with the interviews of the 2015 candidates.

[jockey69]

news is that around 25 JFOs are being inducted every month.

[windcutter]

Sorry to be off track but I really need this info...I hold a foreign PPL and since we cannot get jobs outside India, I am thinking to join IGRUA or NFTI and get campus or contract of Air India/Indigo respectively. Both the institutes said I have to start from scratch and get my Indian PPL and then CPL and go on with the course from day 1 just like everyone else. From rules perspective it seems right but from money and experience perspective I am at the loosing end. I have few options/questions, I would like to know if they are feasible?-

1) Should I study on my own from one of the Indian flying clubs and save money and try through open market with self sponsored type rating?
2) If IGRUA/NFTI then can i at least maintain my own log book so that I can start with Indian PPL afresh but don't loose my hours from old PPL? Is it even possible/legit/legal to keep foreign license details and again get a new one here? Or conversion is compulsary?
3) Would I loose all those PPL hours completely if institutes disagree to maintain my own logbook?
4) It will surely create hassles while creating computer number for theory papers. Since it asks for flying exp hours and license details till today, I am confused what to put.
5) I recently got my Indian class 2 medical done. If you get into any of these institutes what would be the ideal period to get your class 1 done so as not to waste any months of class 1 validity while preparing for theory.

[grandfather]

With the new A320's Neo's facing technical issues and deliveries delayed, chances of remaining JFO's being inducted anytime soon seems quite remote. Any news, anyone?

[jockey69]

is the type rating for the a320 neos going to be the same as a320 ceos?

[The AeRoDOME]

Hi there people,

Just had a query, does Indigo allow the A320 type rated candidates to sit through their JFO exam, like the one which was conducted in February 2015?

Also, if someone could elaborate about how much money do they ask from the type rated candidates after the induction for any recurrent training or base training or any other if so.

Any input appreciated. Thanks

[A69]

Yes.

Not sure if there is a fixed amount. Could depend on the candidate's requirements.

[The AeRoDOME]

Thanks for your input A69 :):ok:

[The AeRoDOME]

Hi there People!

news is that around 25 JFOs are being inducted every month.

As per this piece of information we have, any clues as to how many JFO's are still awaiting induction.

Also,heard that some of the candidates from the JFO exam of Feb'15 are awaiting their interviews expected in March this year.

Moreover, how many JFO's will IndiGo hire from the 449 candidates who cleared the written last year?

Awaiting your views and inputs.

[aviator3233]

Does anyone know when the next JFO exam will be conducted?

[HelpingGuy]

Hello guys.. Need your help on this.

I am a CPL holder and planning to do the A320 type rating at either CAE Dubai or Bangalore.

1) If anyone here has done his/her TR at these centres, then can you guide me more? I am more inclined towards CAE Dubai as I would save some money compared to India. The reason I am opting for CAE is because of their tie up with Indigo, which I feel would be an added advantage.

2) Are there any other cheaper options to do the A320 TR?

3) I need a sim partner, so if anyone is planning the same then kindly drop me a pm.

Thanks in advance.

[astroplane]

hi,

Anyone has any updates on the next JFO exam?

Also are they done with the 2015 batch

Any updates on this thread would be appreciated.

[A69]

Any updates on this thread would be appreciated.

There still are candidates scheduled for interviews in March 2016.

[astroplane]

This thread has been dead for quite a while. any one has any update on the new 2017 recruitment what the the status of those who passed? will they have another attempt soon?

[Go Indigo]

This thread has been really useful for many aspiring pilots and cadets.

I took the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Programme (International Pathway) written test on 17 Jun 2017. I passed the written test and I am waiting for my CASS assessment date. For the past one week, I've been preparing for the non-judgemental interview and practicing flying using the Lock On game and FSX. Wish me luck!

Around 218 candidates applied for the test and 88 got through.

[aspiringpilot13]

Hi Go Indigo.

Did you get your result? Could you share your experience.
I am giving exam on 17th December. I have prepared the topics, let's see if i clear the same.

[concordee]

Does you medical need to be valid when you are doing your type rating?
Does it have to be valid when you are giving your type rating sim check?

Hello Sir,

I wanted to ask about the CASS test of the IndiGo Cadet Program selection process. How did you prepare for the Interview and what kind of questions are asked ? Is the psychometric test difficult ?

[Go Indigo]

Hi Nigel,

Please prepare for the CASS test by using the ADAPT manual as a reference. All questions asked in the CASS test will be similar to the ones given in the ADAPT manual. Practice mental maths questions (percentage and basic math questions involving addition, subtraction are asked). Ensure that you have read the manual at least 15 times before appearing for the test.

All the best.

Navin Sridhar
