Indigo Call letters for Freshers

[Ridge Runner]

A thought: have any of you on this thread, or out there and considering the use of QB questions, thought about the usefulness of your actions apart from sneaking through the system; a system that will shake you up and spit you out if you don't have it in your blood.

There is no quick way - you have it or you don't. For your long term reward I suggest you consider what you know now and what you are capable of and then decide whether you want to invest in going further. i see students who have go through without the real aptitude and they ultimately fail!

@aroumika et tu brute, means even you brutus. well its the last line caesar said before he was killed, this is from julius caeser by shakespeare. he was shocked that brutus conspired against him to get him killed so i think hes refering to that....

[DJ Flyboy]

Ridge Runner is right..QB or no QB..you have to read all the books..no doubt abt it..and its interesting too..but takes time. Qb can only take you so far..but to actually ACE the test you need to know everything and i mean everything.

On the other hand i dont think forming a QB is deceiving the sytem..QBs exsit everywhere except in India..Hell i ve heard all you need to pass the FAA exam is the QB..Even Jaa has Qbs so if you go through a QB, you are not outsmarting the system..I see Qbs as more of a self assesment tool so that you know where you stand after your done studying a subject also they can tell you if you are on the right track.

So aditya is doing us a favour really by compiling a QB. What we must realise is that he obviously has taken some time out and put in some effort in doing so and feels cheated when everybody asks for the QB but then after the exam nobody reverts back to him.

Regarding putting up the Qb on the forum..well if you think abt it and have the patience to go thru the whole thread you will realise that the Qb is already up here just fragmanted. I could have put it up here but thot that Aditya might be offended..so the onus of putting the consolidated QB is on him.

[aviator_0088]

Wrote the exam finally..but couldn't make through :sad::sad: Disappointment is taking hard on me but can't do much about it, apart from preparing again for the next attempt. And as DJ Flyboy mentioned, some 50 candidates were on roll but hardly half of 'em appeared. And out of those 25, surprisingly, only 1 managed to clear the written.

@ DJ Flyboy
no doubt that one needs to be really thorough with everything. But tell me something, you wrote the exam, do you think you wouldn't have secured above 70%?

CAE's selection criteria still seems pretty strange to me :ugh::ugh:

[DJ Flyboy]

exactly my point bro..you need to know everything to score above 95..70 just doesnt cut it..

[thearsenal]

its pretty crazy that just one person cleared man, really high cut off im sure. that goes without saying

[yash]

guys guys guys please now that the exams for this month are over kindly share your experience and the questions if you can recall any .

[airbone]

plz can some one tell me tht wat should i do for this.....i have applied to the indigo app. which they send on our mails but i never got the reply so wat should i do know or if someone can give me the contact num on which i can hae a talk with indigo plz plz plz need help :{

Guys thanks a ton for your response and the questions here , they should help a lot of people .

Just wondering if any one who got through the indigo attempt this time on any of the 5 days is a contributor in thread ?
Just curios considering such a low number of candidates have passed .

[pilot.batwing]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to say we really appreciate all u r work.

I haven't attended the Indigo Exam this time, since i was busy preparing for the SIA interviews.

I will certainly contribute whatever I can when i appear for the Indigo exam, whenever it is held.

Thank you very much once again.:D

Regards,
The Caped Crusader

[Aditya Sharma]

Thanks alot brother really appreciate your move ,,This is going to be very helpfull for people like me who are preparing for indigo... thanks again god bless u

[THE_WING]

@ adityaslg
@ sonsal (who'd posted a lot of questions about a month or two ago)

Thanks guys for sharing the questions.

[Pulkdahulk]

Hi, i had posted a month ago for answer keys to Oxford Book.

I got lots of help on PM for Piston Engines and I will say thank you so much.

I am still struggling for answer keys on Instrumentation Book 5 of the Oxford Series.

Please help or PM me.

Thanks

[cyrilroy21]

The answer key to the instrumentation book starts on page 23-51 or page 336/598

If you had downloaded the torrent you might find that page 23-52 is missing and contains answers from chapter 4 to chapter 11
In the book this page is omitted

Someone had uploaded the answer key earlier and i had made a copy of it

If anyone would like the copy of the missing page answer key pm me your email address and i will send it as a pdf file

Happy Studying :ok:

[aroumika]

this is completely unrelated to the forum subject, but i read somewhere in 'human factors and performance' of oxford, a question something like, "a pilot can fly (be allowed to fly) with bi-focal lens?" a) true b) false, and to my surprise the answer was "b) false"
does this imply that someone with both myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (far-sightedness) cannot be declared medically fit to fly? does this vary according to the country or the fitness board, does dgca allow this? also does myopia and hyperopia help cancel each other out in any way?
i have myopia of -1 diopter, both eyes, and no hyderopia at all as of now, but it's still a cause of concern, especially after aging 20 years of now and plenty of flying, you never know what might happen, is eye-surgery for someone with both defects advisable?
can someone with good knowledge and a sure answer about this please shed some light on the topic as i couldn't find anything more regarding this in the oxford book, thanks! :ok:
P.S. - i am a guy unlike what my user name might suggest (which btw is a combination of my name and my sister's name), so someone writing back to me please don't address me as "girl", it makes me bang my head to a wall quite literally! :ugh:

[Pulkdahulk]

hahahaha......last sentence was a good one...

Ok Cyril - Check your hotmail for the email..

cheers

[aroumika]

@Pulkdahulk
i have the same problem with those missing pages too, can you please e-mail the same to me? my e-mail is the same as my username and it's a hotmail account, thanks! :ok:

[Born2win]

Hie can u plz send me indigo question bank n other indigo question if u hav

"HIE"

Brilliant first post!
Care to read the thread?

No "TXT" speak here..

Well I know 160 guys who were very/really/extremely thankful, so you can do away with you thankfulness and copy paste the QB in the thread.

[flyflyfly2me]

is cae planning to conduct exams in mumbai too???

[airbone]

nope till now no exams have being conducted by cae in mumbai so i dont think so they will do it in future..

[Uniform.]

Upcoming Indigo assessment will be conducted on June 20th, 21st , 22nd and 23rd, 2011.

[livetokill22]

Hey what do you guys think about these books to prepare for technical and the exam.
1. Air pilot manual 4 - the airplane technical ( pooley's air pilot publishing)
2. The technical pilot interview by Gary V. Bristov.

[flyinghigh89]

u sure the exam is on 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd june?
confirmed?

[Uniform.]

@flyinghigh89

confirmed..!! as yest only i got mail from Sandra Rita Pinto

[sierra_november]

I too got an email from Ms.Sandra Rita Pinto, is she authorized to send out call letters on behalf of CAE ?

Their website says only Ms.Parul Huria and Ms.Radhika HS are authorized representatives.

[flyinghigh89]

@uniform-

ok now who is she??

I gave my last Indigo test on 30th March n lately cool off period being 3 months I have no idea whether they will give me a chance to sit for the test or not..:(

[livetokill22]

Hey what do you guys think about these books to prepare for technical and the exam.
1. Air pilot manual 4 - the airplane technical ( pooley's air pilot publishing)
2. The technical pilot interview by Gary V. Bristov.

[flyinghigh89]

@livetokill

I have no idea about pooley but Ace is good. For technical I refer to the books given to me by SAS Aviation from where I took the classes.
If you asking about INdigo tech doesnt come in the exam..I have no idea whether it comes now or not after they have specified the syllabus in which tech is mentioned.

[SuperflyTNT]

Can anyone share Ms.Sandra Rita Pintos' e-mail ID over here? Thank you.

[sierra_november]

her email id is [email protected]

[livetokill22]

Thanks for the reply @flyinghigh89
What All is asked In the indigo exams?
Which subjects do I need to study?

[Uniform.]

Could anyone over here tell if the aircraft Systems were asked...!! pistion engines, jet engine, powerplant stuff

[SuperflyTNT]

Thank you. Aprreciate it.

[flyflyfly2me]

where were the exams held last time???delhi flying club???

[flyinghigh89]

Hey can I too have the question bank pls??
my email id is [email protected]

And any idea has the format of the paper changed? I mean have they started including tech stuff?
Thanks

[Uniform.]

C'mon guys atleast someone reply for the test format for the last attempt, was that the same or included technical part????? :\

[sierra_november]

spoke to Capt.Upendranath yesterday , Ms.Sandra Rita Pinto is an authorized representative of CAE.

[v_varun01]

Hi,

Can some please email me the Indigo question bank. I shall really be grateful, my email id is [email protected]

[DJ Flyboy]

All the questions have been posted on this forum..plz go through the forum before requesting.

[00saurabh00]

Hello,
I applied for conversion of my foreign CPL to dgca in march and they are still processing. Can I still appear for this test while my licence is being processed.
Has anyone in this situation appeared for this test.
Does anyone have phone number for Indigo HR ?

[bombayhues]

@Uniform: Technical questions regarding Jet Engines or Aircraft Systems have not been asked till date.

@Saurabh: DGCA CPL is a requisite to sitting for the exam buddy

[Uniform.]

Thanks bombayhues :)
I was just concerned about power plants, systems part as the syllabus in CAR SERIES B PART IV includes that too........!

[VT-ASB]

Do they allow guys with lapsed IR to appear for the exams ???

[SuperflyTNT]

Only thing they require to be current is your Medical (class I).

[VT-ASB]

thanks for the info mate !!

[00saurabh00]

@bombayhues
thnx for the info mate....
I dunno how long DGCA will take............

[bombayhues]

@Uniform: The "CAR SERIES B PART IV" has been a recent addition to the CAE IndiGo 320 program site. It wasn't there say a couple of months ago and hence systems and jet engines was never asked on the exams. I would suggest double checking with someone who has given the exam more recently

[cloudripper]

:confused:
I have this query because I'm planning to give the next test on 21st June in Delhi and I'm not a localite.

How long( duration of days) does it take them to conduct the next round (2nd, etc) after the 1st stage? Should I be staying back incase if I clear the 1st round or is it ok for me to leave delhi,for back home?
Just need to know so that I can make my arrangements accordingly during my trip to Delhi.

ANy advice on this matter would be very kind.

p.s. what is the address of the venue ,considering that it hasn't changed in the previous attempts.

[phoenixrk]

friends please if anyone has question bank for indigo exams please mail me at [email protected]

[companion]

1) powerplants would mean piston engines and jet engines

2) systems would be wat all? hydraulics, air conditioning, pressurization

3) also airframes would include brakes, landing gear and wat else?

4) how much emphasis should be given to aircraft performance? wat books?
for everything else is oxford 2nd edition good ?

[boeing787dreamliner]

Q14. FL 80, an OAT +06° C is measured. What will the temperature be at FL 130, if you consider the temperature gradient of the Standard Atmosphere?
A) -6° C
B) 0° C
C) +2° C
D) -4° C

Q15. FL 160, an OAT -22° C is measured. What will the temperature be at FL 90, if you consider the temperature gradient of the Standard Atmosphere?
A) -4° C
B) +4° C
C) 0° C
D) -8° C

can anyone please tell me how to solve these type of questions ?

[aadityaslg]

First find out what should be the temperature at FL80, in ISA conditions.
Then compare it with the actual OAT +6 C here.

Now that you have the deviation from ISA, you can find what the temperature at FL130.

Cheers!

By the way, which book are you referring to for Meteorology?

[companion]

has the syllabus been given by cae for the first time in may i.e. the dgca syllabus for CPL exams which includes "aiframes, powerplant and systems"?

If it was given by CAE for the first time in May, were questions asked in May attempt on jet engines, pistons, hydraulics, pressn, air condtng, landing gear, etc.?
please answer as it would help us all in understanding the paper pattern

thank u

[companion]

does the question bank1 include questions from sonsal 1 month ago, because I can see a lot of people thanking sonsal for the questions but not sonsal's questions.
]
however question bank 1 from adityaslg is with me....thank you adityaslg...please reply

[DJ Flyboy]

there were two questions on reciprocating engines

[PP351]

The answers for the both question's will be option D i.e -4°C and -8°C

Correct me if i am wrong, cheer's

[Aviator4u]

@PP351-
you are correct my dear friend.

ISA temp lapse rate is 2 degrees dec/1000ft inc in height.
FL130-FL80=5000ft. total temp decrease=5*2=10degrees
So temp @ FL130 = 6-10 = -4 degrees.:ok:

[VT-delta]

from fl 80 to fl 130 mean gone up by 5000 feet in isa conditions which is
2* 5 = minus 10
there by temp at fl 80 = plus 6
therefore temp at fl 130 = +6-10=-4 centigrade
u will find all these in oxford

[NWD]

Hey Guys, i was wondering if there was any way to calculate Track (T) using a CX 2 calculator in the problem given below.. ?is there any setting on the calculator i might have missed out ?

Trk .. ?
Hdg (T) 273 deg ;W/V 230/40 ; TAS 150

Do let me know .. Cheers !

P.S Best of luck to everyone writing the Indigo exam..!! :ok:

[flyflyfly2me]

were human performance questions asked in may attempt???

[milton3371]

hi
what oxford book u people are refereeing here ...
can you please specify the oxford book
or can u please post the web link of the oxford book

thank you verymuch

[companion]

thanks friend for ur reply....were there questions on systems and other technical?

did u give may attempt?

also did they specify syllabus :airframes, etc." prior to may attempt coz i believe they never asked any technical till april attempt

[DJ Flyboy]

yes they did specify..plz chk out earlier posts and and all your questions will be answered..make an effort..all the questions have already been put up..plz chk the thread out before asking.

[companion]

my friend, i have chked all the pages from april beginning ad haven't got any clarity on this although questions were asked, nobody answered them...i really request u to help out if its not too much of an effort...thank u

[Aviator4u]

@companion-
Please stop expecting everythin to be spoon fed to you.dont you think even you need to put in some efforts on your part to go and find out the answers to the questions,afterall ITS NOT TOO MUCH OF AN EFFORT!

[DJ Flyboy]

my friend, i have chked all the pages from april beginning ad haven't got any clarity on this although questions were asked, nobody answered them...i really request u to help out if its not too much of an effort...thank u If its not Too much of an effort..are you :mad: kidding me?? i put 62 questions that i could remember here for everybody, is that effort not good enough for you?
Sonsal and Adiyaslg went a step further to compile a question bank and put them on the forum. A lot of other ppl posted some interesting questions and their explaination.

Get off your lazy ass and find the answers yourself..kab tak kunji mein ghusa rahega..stop crying like a baby asking for a pacifier. Plane kya Papa ake udaenge??

Time to grow up kid.

[flyflyfly2me]

how will we calculate TAS ,if cruising altitude is 39,000ft,temp is ISA +5 and CAS is 200kts ??
pls solve using the formula
TAS=CAS+(1.75% OF CAS PER 1000FT)

[flyflyfly2me]

calculate the theoretical max range that a pilot would obtain from a VOR situated 900 ft amsl in a aircraft flying at18000ft??
i donno y i m getting a wrong answer
the answer is-202nm.

anyone with question bank - plz mail it to [email protected]

@vdaff - (http://www.pprune.org/members/334628-vdaff)
please mail me too...

[aroumika]

@priyankaflyingbird

question9 - FL75 = 7500 feet minus airport elevation (1500 feet) = 6000 feet, QNH given is 1023, compare this to standard QNH (1013), 1023 minus 1013 = 10 pa, each pa of pressure equals 30 feet, so 10 pa gives 300 feet, add this to 6000 feet = 6300 feet :)

question 19 - the switch from digital to circular state happens exactly with 1000AGL is reached, as compared to option A which says below 1000, which could mean anywhere below 1000AGL (not specific enough) :)

question 26 - the sun first rises in the east and then towards the west, the sunrise at an easterly longitude of 40 degrees east is given, the sun will obviously rise 5 hours in a westerly longitude of 35 exactly 5 hours later, the difference in longitudes being 40 + 35 = 75 divided by 15 (which is the number of longitudes covered by the earth's rotation in one hour = 5 hours, hence 0243 + 5 hours = 0743 :)

question 29 - each a/c interrogates by transmitting a unique set of pulses identified by the DME ground station which transponds back each a/c accordingly, but if the pulses were not unique, it would not be able to differentiate between all the aircrafts locked into it :)

question 70 - true track is 358, minus 4 for easterly variation to give a magnetic track of 354, all magnetic tracks between 180-359 fly at an altitude of even thousands of feet :)

questions 13, 18, 21 - purely theoretical questions that i read somewhere, i could be wrong though, hope i could help :)

[Aviator09]

@flyflyfly2me
Answer for the last question is 205 nm (Close to 202) Are there any other options closer than this?

Range= 1.25 (Sq. root 900 + sq. root 18000)

other ques using formula,
TAS= CAS + (1.75% OF CAS FOR EVERY 1000 FEET)

Since, 39000 feet has 39 thousands of feet, it would be 1.75 x 39 i.e.68.25% of 200.

TAS = 200 + (68.25% of 200)
= 200 + 136.5 = 336.5 kts.

[flyflyfly2me]

the answer for the TAS question is 380kts

[Aviator09]

@aroumika
Q18 W/V is shown on modes except PLAN MODE,hence the answer is "D"

Q19 Radio Altitude on an EADI display changes to circular scale BELOW 1000 feet AGL and not AT 1000 feet. Answer is "A"

Q21 Passing thru 180 degree of turn, AH shows climb but reads the bank correctly.Passing 270, shows climbs and over reads and passing 90 climbs and under reads. Answer is "C"

Q25 The final position is 40 degree N and 31 degree 30 minutes west which is due west of initial position. Answer is "C".

Q62 Answer I chose is "D" Can you shed some light on how to go about this one.

Q68 Isn't the rhumb line on Mercator always a straight line and great circle a curved line. Answer is "A"

I'm unsure about Q 2,17,74,75,76. Would be great if you can clarify these. Thanks in Advance.!

Will do the remaining questions in a bit and get back on those too.

[Aviator09]

@flyflyfly2me
TAS 380 Knots will be the answer using the Flight Computer. Enter, CAS 200 knots, OAT= -51.5 and PAlt. 39000. using the formula, answer remains the same. ( This is in the Airspeed- Plan TAS Mode )

@aroumika

tas -132, true hdg - 25 , wind/velocity 95/35kt, find drift angle and ground speed ..? i dont know how to solve it using flight computer ..

[cobracommander]

you could key in given figures and approximate the answer to obtain the given hdg as 25deg, hence Tcrs equals 9.7deg. Therefore, drift equals- Hdg-Tcrs= 15.3 port.

and to solve the above mentioned, go to mainmenu> flight> plan leg> hdg/gs.

[aroumika]

@Aviator09
i'm not sure, some of your answers might be right, but i was fairly confident about mine, it's best if a few more people here write down all the answers so we can compare with theirs

@priyankaflyingbird
if you're talking about the manual flight computer, then i'm not sure either, sorry :( i'm very much a laid back, relaxed pilot that relies alot on technology, hence i use a digital flight computer (CX-2) that has all the functions on there, all i have to do is input the data and get the result, you should try it too, just make sure to carry a spare set of batteries at all times like i do ;)

Hi all

Unfortunately I couldnt send the Questions to everyone
Having some trouble currently...I will send it to the ones who already asked, from now on I cant send it to the ones that will be asking sorry about that, infact my Inbox got full in just 1 day. I can understand, I said to the people that I send to share the questions

thanks

[companion]

listen here....u are not talking to a kid...for all u know i might be a mother of a child....so plz mind yr language to begin with....also it was a request "if its not too much of an effort" with regard to a particular query....stop pouncing and attcking people like a frustrated soul ....if u don't have a job, neither do i....we are here to help....if u can't just let it be, don't jus keep gettin ticked off at the drop of a hat and talk like an uneducated mannerless person to show how smart u r... if u really are then get a job....also read my post wherein i said i have seen all the questions put up by adityaslg but couldn't find the ones put up by sonsal

[DJ Flyboy]

Sorry for hurting your 'feelings'...NOT

Anyways adityaslgs QB contains Sonsals QB.
I may be frustrated coz I dont have a job, but Im more frustrated infact downright disgusted by your reply and demands. but lets not digress from the thread. I didnt know that you had to take take care of your kid and didnt have anytime to find the answers, but people like Aroumika and Priyanka have come to your rescue and you might find their recent posts helpful.

thanks...but its nice to act like mature individuals and not underestimate other people's constraints....also we could all do with a bit of mild language...thanks for ur reply anyway

[ilsdme28]

Good morning guys

Feels nice to be in a community.
The question that i have is that are these questions posted would be repeated again and again, especially in this day and age when internet is available readily , i am sure somebody from the airline be keeping silent watch on this.Second point , for all those who are searching for answers they are all in oxford books not word by word but almost . third point when questions have been made public whats the use in registering for one post just for questions , and if there are any that are not posted i would request that gentleman/madam to kindly post it so that this thread is not full of just email ids.
my last point is we all are frustrated for not having a job but lets not give up.........after all JUST THINK OF THE VIEW FROM THE TOP ...
CHEERS

[aniqua]

has anyone rcvd the call letter with a roll number,date and location yet?

[flyflyfly2me]

but the answer is 33,600 ft

[ilsdme28]

Sometimes its the most suitable answers what examiners are looking for.......if there are choices you should have mentioned in the question

[ilsdme28]

THIS QUESTIPON HAS BEEN PREV ASKED IN THE FORUM

An aircraft has to communicate with a VHF station at a range of 300 nm, if the ground station
is situated 2500' amsl which ofthe following is the lowest altitude at which contact is likely to
be made?
a) 190'
b) 1,378'
c) 37,600'
d) 84,100'

Range (nm) = 1.25 sq root ht. of transmitter + 1.25 sq. root ht of reciever
300 =1.25 sq root 2500 + 1.25 sq root ht of rec.
300 = 62.5 + 1.25 sq root ht of rec
300-62.5 = 1.25 sq root ht of rec
237.5 =1.25 sq root ht of rec
237.5/1.25= sq. root ht of rec ( Assume this to be X feet amsl )
190 = sq root x
sq. both sides
x= 36100 feet
Hence, the close option is C

can someone please tell me whr is the exam conducted ?

[NWD]

has Capt. Upendranath sent the hall tickets adn dates to anyone for the june 20th attempt ?

[fly2infinity]

hey does anyone have an idea when the next assessment is going to be held??

[NWD]

june 20 - june 23 ..!

[Aviator4u]

can anyone please post the solution to this question.thnx in advance.

1) A great circle track joins position A (59?S 141?W) and B (61?S 148?W). What is the difference between the great circle track at A and B?Ans. It increases by 6°

[ilsdme28]

convergency = change of long * sin latitude (mean)

conv = 7 * sin60which gives 6.02

Convergency gives the heading change when gc is followed
and HEADING increases to fly gc track westwards in SH

[Aviator4u]

@ ilsdme28
Thanx a lot for your reply. But I am confused with the part that it increases,shouldnot it decrease? Can u please explain this.

[Sweptair]

It's increasing cuz it's SHS..Reading decrease in NHS & increase in SHS..

[ilsdme28]

You need to draw it correctly to see why it increases .......i will advise you to look at gsp navigation .....

relationship between various vmu vs v2min vref v1 etc??/

[flyflyfly2me]

Q. if there is a conflict between instructions by the ATC and an intercepting a/c,what should be your course of action?

Q.you find that you have deviated from the track assigned to you by the ATC in a control zone.what should be your course of action?

[ilsdme28]

1: u need to follow intercepting aircraft ..........
(u dont want to take chances with f16 on your rear):E

2: try to get to your track immediately and contact atc as soon as practicable

[thearsenal]

in the first case you get on to 121.5 and communicate with the intercepting a/c happened to a friend in the states not sure about the second one though

[harsh786techy]

The ans Given by @ilsdme are right.

Its mentioned in Oxford airlaw.

[kush3370]

Hey guys.. plz forgive me if this sounds discouraging. but i heard if you crack all the indigo selection rounds and reached to final interview, and u failed the final interview then you are no more eligible to apply in indigo ever again in ur life.

i personally feel, this is just a rumour or even if it is true it doesnt make any sense, if any of you have the clear info, plz share.

Thank you

[Aviator4u]

Yes. This is correct. I dont think its for life,but you definately cannot sit for the CAE-Indigo exam again.
Quoted from their e-mail-

Please ignore this mail:
· If you are A320 typerated.
· If you have already appeared for the CAE-IndiGo assessment in the last three months and have not completed the cool off period of three months
· If you did not clear the interview round(with IndiGo)

[eaglewings11]

Descend.


got a quick question too.

Given
TAS = 140
True Heading = 302
W/V = 45(T)/45Kt

what is the Drift angle and Ground Speed?

[THE_WING]

Dear fellow PPRuNer's,

Greetings!

I need some help reaching 'The Parkland Hotel - Kalkaji'.

Is the 'Nehru Place Metro Station' closer or the 'Kalkaji Mandir Metro Station'?

Nehru Place, because the hotel address say so and 'Kalkaji' because of the hotel's name.

Also, how far (in terms of time) is it from the nearest Metro station?

Any other suggestions/comments are welcome.

Thank you

[Aviator4u]

Kalkaji mandir metro station is just 5 mins walking distance from the examination venue. Also they actually conduct the exam in the basement of some godown which is near to Parkland hotel.

[THE_WING]

@Aviator4u

Thank you for your feedback.

[NWD]

The answer i got.. :

Drift 16 deg P
Gs = 156 kts
Tcrs = 286 deg

w/v 45/45

is it right though ?

1) A/c at same configuration and weight takes off at same-EAS or CAS?
2)VSI is fed by- Differential pressure or static pressure?

[priyankaflyingbird]

@eaglewings11
even i got stuck with this problem , did u got the solution for it ?

[AVIATROZ]

hello friends,
i have on doubt regarding the respiration process at higher altitude....
as at sea level our partial pressure of oxygen is 160mm of hg but in the alveolar air partial pressure of oxygen is 103 mm of hg....
but at 10,000 feet partial pressure of oxygen is 55mm of hg..

so as we go higher and higher say above 40,000 feet we need to 100%oxygen under pressure ..............but by doing this are we maintaining partial pressure of oxygen to that of sea level partial pressure or to that of 10,000 feet partial pressure of oxygen.?

thanks for the support frends

[planeboy_777]

1) A/c at same configuration and weight takes off at same-EAS or CAS?


its Always IAS (please give all the four options )

2)VSI is fed by- Differential pressure or static pressure?
Differential Pressure
and for Altimeter its static pressure




:ok:

[Aviator4u]

@planeboy_777

(please give all the four options )

sorry sir,my bad. the options are-
1)CAS
2)EAS
3)GS
4)TAS

Thnx!!!

[superdunkaroos]

its CAS...

[flyflyfly2me]

if there is a misunderstanding due to uncommon language between the controller and the pilot .what instruction will be issued for the a/c to make him land??

[cloudripper]

:eek:
I dont know if I'm the only one who made this frivolous discovery on the CX2 but its been bugging me ever since!

HAS anybody had any problem calculating Headwind/tailwind & crosswind components and tallying the answers with the ones using actual fromula ?

HWC/TWC = windspeed x Cos Xdeg,
CWC= windspeed x Sin Xdeg. ( for those who didn't know!)

say for eg. Hdg= 30 deg, W/V = 60/30.

solve this using the formula and CX2, ANSWER DOESN'T MATCH!

COULD ANYBODY PLEASE OFFER A VALUABLE SOLUTION ?

[Aviator4u]

With an true airspeed of 194 kt and a vertical speed of 1 000 ft/min, the climb gradient is about: Ans 3 degrees
can anyone please solve this question??

[cobracommander]

rule of thumb for calculating climb or descend gradient :

ROC or ROD / Groundspeed = X %

in your example : TAS can be assumed as Groundspeed ,
hence 1000fpm/ 194 kts = 5.15 % or 3 degrees ( ANSWER!)

...can anybody please solve Cloudripper's query , strange but I've never realised it until now too!

[Aviator4u]

@cobracommander
Thnx for the solution.I understand getting 5.15% as Climb gradient but the doubt is how did you get 3 degrees?

[victor.bravo]

@Aviator4u,
Use Trigonometry mate.
Convert 194kts, into ft/min. That would be your adjacent side.
a vertical speed of 1000 ft/min would be your opposite.

tan (climb angle) = 1000/194 x 6080/60

apply tan inverse, to get the answer of 2.92 degrees, round it off to 3.

[eaglewings11]

Given
TAS = 140
True Heading = 302
W/V = 45(T)/45Kt

what is the Drift angle and Ground Speed?

Anyone with ideas how to solve this?

[ilsdme28]

climb gradient = (rate of climb * 6000)/ (tas*6080)

GLIDE PATH (DEGREES) = ((GLIDE PATH (%)*60))/100

CLIMB GRAD = (1000*6000)/(194*6080) = 5.08

GP(DEG) = (5.08 * 60 )/100 = 3 DEGREES
:ok:

[harsh786techy]

The concept here apply's of VELOCITY TRAIANGLE
1. True wind component
2. Effective wind component

In true wind component Along track and across track components co-exists and hence the formula of cos and sin gives the right ans.

However, when we talk about HWC and TWC Effective wind components come into the picture.
acc to which GS-TAS= wind component

this wind component if Neg implies a HWC and if Pos implies TWC.

Now this VALUE of the wind component can be diff for calculating HWC and TWC.

http://s1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee422/harsh_aviator/

In this picture it is shown that how effective wind components often differ.

The TAS is acting along the heading but the effect of the TAS along the track will be TAS cos drift. TAS cos of drift is less the TAS . To get the GS the true component will have to be applied to this.
Hence the difference between the true n effective wind component is TAS- TAS cos drift.
Hence Effective wind component is always less favourable unless there is no drift, ie, in flying directly UPwind and downwind.

[companion]

?where did u read up info on triangle of vel?
also are these kinda questions asked in cae exam?

[harsh786techy]

The information is from GSP Navigation.

If these questions asked or not i do not know but it depends how the question is framed. Generally a simple theory question will be asked if "if asked".

[Aviator4u]

what is the formula to calculate range of NDB?

Q.What is the range of NDB of power 10KW? Is it same over sea and land?

[harsh786techy]

Range over water= 3X Square root(wattage)
land= 2X square root(wattage).

clearly, range over water is greater then land.

[Aviator4u]

@harsh786techy-
Thank you for you reply,but acc to your formula range in the case of 10 KW should be 3*SQRT(10000) which works out to be 300 NM and it is nowhere close to the answer options which are-50NM,100NM,500NM,1000NM

[harsh786techy]

The answer to be marked for this ques should be 100. for solving such problems simply square root of wattage is considered.
However for the comparison the factors of 2 and 3 are considered. i am sure the ans must be 100. if its not then i will look into it.

[ilsdme28]

you are correct mate it has to be 100nm

[Aviator4u]

@harsh768techy and ilsdme28-
thanx a lot.

[flyflyfly2me]

inc in flaps will cause V2 to inc/dec or remain unchanged?

is max thrust greater ,lesser or equal to max continous thrust

effect of camber on longitudinal stability?

[harsh786techy]

1. V2 is reduced with use of flaps.
2. Max thrust is always greater then max continuous thrust.
3. camber does not affect longitudinal stability.

[flyflyfly2me]

what happens to lift and drag in a climb at constant IAS??

relationship between lift drag w.r.t angle of attack?

effect on landing distance when the a/c is in ground effect?

[harsh786techy]

1. If you have any options for this question i can select the right one.
Use lift equation and consider the density and true air speed. The density is decreasing, so to maintain constant IAS TAS is increased. If we put this value in the lift equation we can get the right ans from the options..

2. Simple lift curve given in almost all books wrt AoA.

3. Due to floating in ground effect, the landing distance increases.

[eaglewings11]

At 500 hPa pressure level can vary in height. In temperate region what average height is applicable?

Ans : FL 180

How?:ugh:

[turnpike007]

Can you please hep me with the solution to the problems given below:

(1)If a radar beam, at a frequency of 10.000 MHz, is radiated from a parabolic dish of diameter 15 cm, the azimuth target discrimination angle is:
A) 14°
B) 15°
C) 7°
D) 5°

Correct ans is A) 14°


(2)A radar operates on a frequency of 10 GHz with an aerial of 24 inches diameter. The Beam width is:
A) 3°
B) 2°
C) 4°
D) 3.4°

Correct ans is D) 3.4°

[dragstar]

@turnpike007

don't know about the first one.

About the 2nd question.

Beam Width = 70 x (wavelength/antenna dia)
Wavelength= .03m or 1.1808 inches

Do the math.

[turnpike007]

Thanks alot dragstar. But i havent came across this formula for beamwidth ever before. It worked out with this formula.

(1) Freq=10000 Mhz
Wavelength=0.03m = 3cm
Diameter=15 cm
Beamwidth= 70*(Wavelength/antenna daimeter)
70*(3/15)
70*0.2
14 degrees

[flyflyfly2me]

best of luck for tomorrows exam

[flyflyfly2me]

pls post the questions....

[aniqua]

hey guys
today is the first day of the five for the exams...guys who have appeared i just have one question:

Are the types of questions asked similar to what we all have discussed over the past few months on this site (like emphasis on human factors)or have they changed the pattern?

[Aviator4u]

A lot of questions from regs,met and human factors.only 6-7 numericals hardly requiring use of calculators! Heard a lot of people saying they are positive about clearing it. Result is to be declared at 5.30,fingers crossed!

[Aviator4u]

10 passed today!

[iflysoon]

10 out of..?how many appeared today?

[AVIATROZ]

eagle wings.... remember couple of these ,it will help

height pressure{hpa}
38000 200
30000 300
18000 500
10000 700
5000 850

these are approx values but will make ur ans right
gud luck n keep working hard:ok:

[AVIATROZ]

hey friends plz share your exp.
which type of questions.,
any significant change from the questions in the previous attempt.,
how many pplz attended....as 10 passed{acc. to me that is nice figure...bcoz last time i gave only 4 passed out of 70}:ugh:

anyways...in the last but most important..........share the exam questions if u remember any friends.
we are all here to help each other right.......

[eaglewings11]

@Aviatorz
Thanks. but luckily none of those type of questions were asked


OK So about today Exam :-
around 52 appeared 10 passed ( i am one of them :) ) Conduct of exam was pretty professional however a bit delayed for delay in delivery of question paper at the hotel anyway.. now about the questions,
I dont remember the exact questions but sure some topics which could be helpful to you. ( the questions we discussed here are indeed helpful, few repeated too)
not much of numericals.. only 6-7 of them and that too very simple. based on Altimeter questions, GC track Convergency, Departure. all very basic, Find True Altitude . no highers.
Human performance:- myopia, middle ear, stress, Acuity best at;- Fovea, up-slope runway illusion, sleep duration, hypoxia

DME range accuracy,simple CDMVT question, 1:60 rule. Application of variation:- VOR (at station), NDB ( at a/c), Diff b/w primary and secondary radar, ILS CAT minimums, DME frequency, very basic TCAS question

Regulation :- Visibility and cloud clearance criteria in various airspace, Squawk code,Light Signals.

very basic met;- height of stratosphere at mid lats, minimum visibility to declare fog conditions( lil confusing options), icing conditions,

I hope these should help. Good Luck!

will keep adding topics as i remember.

[eaglewings11]

@greatdanemike say about 10 regs 6 ques met.

[flyflyfly2me]

@egalewings11 : were the regs questions easy??

[eaglewings11]

@flyflyfly2me i just posted few topics from which the questions were( somehow didnt get posted on the thread, some problem i guess)

yep regs was easy, normal light signals, squack codes, procedure after comm failure in VMC, Visibility and cloud clearance criteria in various airspace( 3 ques).

10 passed out around 50 ( i was one of them passing :) )



Good luck!

[priyankaflyingbird]

@eaglewings11

congrats ..
so how was the paper over all , i mean which portion you think is most typical i mean , which we need to prepare best ,or in which we need to put extra efforts , how about met , what did they ask ? if you can answer me that would be a great help for me .. in anticipating a positive reply.

[eaglewings11]

@priyankaflyingbird
please go up few post and you will see the post containing few topics from which the questions were asked,

met was simple basic knowledge is more than enough( DGCA std) no indian climatology. question regarding calculating True Alt. Ice assertion in CB, gradient winds, Fog.

i would put more stress on human performance.

overall paper was pretty straight fwd. however you tend to get confused at some questions thats just exam stress.. just be cool and time management at its best :)

[planeboy_777]

:ok::ok: Cleared !!!!!




Guys having exam on 22,23,25 study hard because they have already selected 10 People on Day 1.

[bombayhues]

@planeboy: There is no limitation on the number of people IndiGo is going to select. The only criteria is that one has to get more than 70% on the written

[priyankaflyingbird]

@eaglewings11
hi.. thanks a lot . for your post ,wish u all the best for your upcoming stages .. wish you to see in indigo very soon.

[priyankaflyingbird]

@eaglewings11

and i f you don't mind it .. what all did they ask from principle of flight and flight performance ?

[VT-delta]

next indigo assessments are on july 18th, 19th 20th (2011)

[eaglewings11]

hey friends,
anyone who has been through stage 2 please share your experience.

[azax]

has parul send the july sittings email yet?

[aniqua]

@eaglewings11

congratulations on clearing and thank u for sharing ur experience...it really helps.

if u can, plz let us kno dat once u clear the first round and are reqd to pay for the second round a sum of 375$... how do u do it?

can u wire it to them thru ur account or is der another way?

thnx

[THE MIR]

Seems 9/50 guys passed today. Congrats to u all. :ok:

[aadityaslg]

Hmm... :suspect:

3 to 4% was the previous selection figures.
Its gone upto 20% now, nice.

What will be most interesting is that, how many guys clear the 2nd (PAID) stage now.

[ilsdme28]

heard a major chunk is coming from reg/met/law ......this time , that might be the reason
for higher pass percentages , but even this is low although good in a way that hard working people are getting through........

[planeboy_777]

What will be most interesting is that, how many guys clear the 2nd (PAID) stage now.

@ Adityaslg

there is no PASS or FAIL in CASS
it's based on colour
(Low -high)
Red-you are gone FAIL!!!!(0% chance of getting this)
Amber-PASS
Yellow-PASS
Green-PASS
Blue-PASS(only Red arrows can have this colour)

EPT and GD is for name sake

the Judgment Day will be after your interview result
and furthermore i cleared my exam....

[harsh786techy]

Did someone encounter any complex question during the exam or any ques which you think might be out of the league for many.

Something the followers of this thread will be pleased to hear:

Airbus finalizes record order from IndiGo: source (http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/06/21/us-airshow-airbus-indigo-idUSTRE75K46T20110621)

(Reuters) - Airbus has sealed a record deal worth $16 billion at list prices to sell narrow-body aircraft to Indian carrier IndiGo, an industry source with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.

The deal represents the biggest boost to date for the revamped A320neo and confirms an order provisionally announced in January after intense last-minute talks at the Paris Air Show.

"It's in the bag," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The deal is expected to be announced on Wednesday.

IndiGo in January announced plans to buy 150 A320neo aircraft and 30 of the existing A320 model.

The order is a record for the number of planes involved in a single transaction.

[thearsenal]

the trend this time around shows lots of ppl passing as compared to previous pass percentages the second stage which is paid for now as aditya points out seems to be what indigo want people to be hitting for. im absolutely not questioning the people who put in the hard work and congrats to them all. but indigo are definately letting more people pass as compared to any previous batch. just a thought. dont want anybody to be jumping at me.

[vivekh]

Try to look at it as an absolute number rather than a percentage. Just 9-10 people are passing out of 50. If they wanted to make a whole load of money, they would pass atleast 25-30 people easily, just to fail them at the second stage?

From what I hear, the passing percentage from the entrance to the LOI stage is rather high. Much higher than 50%. Anyone have any figures here? If they were after the money, they would have ensured that a low %age actually ended up with an LOI.

What I believe is that they were not getting enough people earlier (perhaps a tough paper) which is why they must have made the paper easier this time so more may pass.

The shortened cool-off period - 3 months from the older 6 months - is also indicative that they are looking for more people to fill positions.

[Aviator4u]

@thearsenal
I second that. No doubt their selection process is fair,but they were losing out a lot of money by passing a lesser number for second stage. Considering the trend for last two days,I m sure around 50 would clear the writtens this time and hardly 50% of them would finally walk away with LOI as compared to almost 90% in last attempts.

[stalwart2010]

July attempt call letters are out.Exams on 18th,19&20th July.Good luck everyone!

[yash]

What i believe is the reason more people are passing is because the reduction in cool off period to 3 months . Lot of candidates who appeared in jan/feb/march reappeared within a short time and with better preparations . Also the guys who flunked once earlier and did not wanted to give the exam due to the upfront payment of 375$ also appeared as the exam is for free and they to were relatively better prepared .

The company which makes a 6 billion dollar deal for 180 a/c why would it be interested in 20k of 30-40 odd candidates anyhow , doesn't make a lot of sense does it ?

[harsh786techy]

When travelling towards the westerly direction the GC bearings track turn towards the equator in northern hemisphere. Opposite happens for Easterly.

And similarly in the Southern Hemisphere, opposite of NH.

In the above question the convergency is 2 degrees and the hemisphere is Northern hemisphere as the Bearing is decreasing, which means turning towards the equator.

[Aviator4u]

I seriously donot get what these CAE people are upto this time. 32 have cleared the written in 3 days and 3 days still left. The pass rate has never been so high in any of the previous attempts but previous attempts were all paid till March. This time the 2nd stage is paid and that seems to be the reason for such a high pass rate. Anyways let us see how many of these are finally handed over LOI's.

[hifi]

Hopefully, CAE is NOT on the same track as Spicejet now.

[ice_veins]

:D Thanks harsh786techy

[planeboy_777]

i remember when on 20th June exam session Capt Patrik said IndiGo will be having 54 Aircraft by this year end.if we go by math
they have 39 aircraft right now
54-39 makes 15 aircraft(from July to December)

so 6 months 15 aircraft
Min 10 pilot for 1 aircraft(i am sure its Way Higher than this) thats total of 150 pilots in 6 months from now

20 pilots a month makes 120
still short of 30 pilots... Damn!!!!!


and Making a brand new aircraft sit on the tarmac is bad manners:=
so they ought to induct more pilots now!!!!!!
This is what i suspect

[vdaff]

we the freshers are the ones who are suffering, actually last month 12 type rated pilots were hired by indigo:ugh:
cant the airline give chances to cpl holders without asking them a lot of money like they did back int he days

[UMANGPILOT]

hello guys

i got cpl in 2009 and wants to give exam of indigo written ...already registered on their cae site and even mailed my resume to parul and radhika ...but still not getting a call for indigo written...its almost a year now applied to them.....please guys tell me how to contact indigo for appearing in their written test!@umang
