HELLO EVERYBODY:

My question is especially for the people who have cleared the written rounds :

I have been unsuccessful in the Indigo's test and havent attempted it after that; I have also been following the thread. So ,inorder to prepare again, I would like to know the current trend of Questions asked .

Is technical ,General Knowledge still ommitted?
Subject weightage wise: Human F., Aerodynamics, Law, Nav/Aids, Met ; are these enough?
Last time I referred Oxford for HF, but the questions seemed very vague! apparently only 2-3 managed to pass in that attempt! so no point comparing.
What does the 'expert' recommend to ace the Indigo's test as well as the time frame ?
Answers to the above questions and positive feedback would be of great help,so please give in some valuable feedback.

Thanks and Happy Landings to one & all
CR.

Q) A/c is travelling at 0.84 M at FL 330. Its estimated time of arrival is 11:28. It is asked to delay its arrival to 11:32 at a distance of 570nm from the destination. What will be its new mach no? OAT is
-48*C.
............could anyone please shed some light as to how to go about solving
this problem??
Thanx..

[coolonu]

@ VictorFoxtrot

LSS = 38.95 root 225 LSS = 38.95 root Absolute Temp.
225 = 273 + (-48)
LSS = 584 Kts

TAS = 0.84 * 584 TAS = MN * LSS
TAS = 491

Time to Dest. = 570/491 = 1.16 Hrs or 1 Hr 10 mins
New Time = 1 Hr 14 mins or 1.23 Hrs.

New TAS = 570 / 1.23
= 463 Kts
New MN = 463 / 584
= 0.79 M

Ans. 0.79 M


Anybody correct me if im wrng. :-)

That's how big biz empire's are build...pay peanut's and make profit's to go on mass globe trotting on the expense of low paid WORKER's.

Combination of this leads to place higher orders for planes that will end up being sold on arrival.....create imaginary shortage of trained pilot's to go for cadet programs and then charge pilots from open market to sit for exam's.....and charge inflated TR fee's to end up being paid peanuts with heavy bond's.

Welcome to slavery - By your own country men. !

[flyon777]

guys if someone can help on gd and interview please do..thanks

[CAT3_DUAL]

thats correct IndiGo pays 75,000 but not to the F/O thats for the supy flying you can say second officer for maximum of 6months
then the salary increases to 1.3 or 1.4 (basic pay 50hrs)
indigo pilots fly the most in this country(ask any airline pilot)
50hrs(1.3 ) + 30hrs overtime(30,000)

thats 1.6 for junor co-pilot

goAir and kingfisher paying 2+ and that to a F/O
man are you kidding me please update your self:ugh::ugh:

[FlyByWire320]

IndiGo pays 80000 from the day you join and start your ground training, the pay increases as you start your line training to 1.2-1.3 (for 50 hrs) + overtime + Layover allowance, and as soon as you complete 6 months of right seat flying as a jr. co-pilot, you are upgraded to copilot and your pay increases to 1.75 (50 hrs) + overtime + Layover allowance. And IndiGo also pays a 1 time bonus of 1.5 lakhs in the month of march as International Flying Allowance.
So that makes IndiGo one of the highest paying airlines in India.:ok:

[THE_WING]

Thank you for your inputs with regards to the pay package.

Any idea if one has to pay for your SIM check when you're back in India after the A320 rating? If yes, then how much?

Thank you.

[FlyByWire320]

yes you have to pay 13000 INR for a 20 minute simcheck.

[airbuscopilot]

So the flowchart is


Pass CAE Indigo Exam
Clear the Interview (375USD + a Flight cost to Fly to BLR for CASS)
Get LOI
Get A320 Rating in Madrid (31-34k $ + Accommodation + Food + Flight)
After Coming back, Sim Check in BLR (13k INR + Flight to BLR)
Pass Sim Check
Get LOA (Letter of Appointment)
Start Ground Classes (Start Pay 75-80k)
Then Supy
Then Jr. Co Pilot.


That's the route from CPL Zero to Indigo HERO :)

[FlyByWire320]

The Type rating fee is now $34000 US, for KL and Madrid, depending on what you get.
The entire process from the day you sit for the exam to the day you get the appointment letter comes to 10-12 months. And add another 3-4 months for getting released on line.

[THE_WING]

Thank you.. :ok:

[flyhigh07]

Are we supposed to give 20,000 rupees just for appearing the cae indigo exam?or is it after you got selected?

[THE_WING]

For the first two attempts - after you clear the written USD 375
Third attempt and so on (if any) - USD 375 before appearing for the written

[THE_WING]

Sorry I forgot to ask earlier, how much do 'we' have to pay DGCA for our A320 endorsement?

At the DGCA's office, are you a one-man-army once again like the CPL issuance days or does IndiGo help you with the same?

Kind regards.

TW

[FlyByWire320]

IndiGo handles all paperwork, you dont pay anything.

[bombayhues]

@FlybyWire: With IndiGo the salary starts @ 75,000 pm (50hrs) + Overtime + Layover Allowance. This is the equation from the day you sign the LOA till 6 months after release when you are upgraded to a Co-Pilot from a Jr. Co-Pilot. A Co-Pilot gets: 1,75,000 pm (50hrs) + Overtime + Layover Allowance.

Dont know if IndiGo is the highest paying airline in the country or not but the above figures are absolutely accurate! :ok:

[FlyByWire320]

Exactly, thats what i said.
The pay has been revised its 80000 now, and there is no overtime and layover allowance till the time you start your line training, so for the first 3-4 months u get 80K, and then once you are released on line you get overtime etc which comes to a total of 1.2-1.3 for the next 6 months. Then you will be taken for an Upgrade check with a TRI/TRE and if you pass you become a Co-pilot and then you start getting 1.75+overtime+layovers.

[cyrilroy21]

Does anyone know if IndiGo will let you do the type rating at CAE Bangalore instead of Madrid or Kuala Lumpur ?

[FlyByWire320]

No, CAE Bangalore is not an option. Its used for command training and for other IndiGo training purposes.

[guitarboy]

Whats the scene like after the Supy? As in does one just sit on the right seat and help the captain or get takeoffs and landings on every other route?

What is the Sim check like?
Take off , Engine Cut before/after V1, Landings, ILS ...?
What are the main things to do here?

Also, whats the upgrade check like? Landings and procedures? What could fail you here?

Thanks

[cyrilroy21]

@FlyByWire

Thank you very much and also thanks for the previous info provided regarding pay scales and such

Would have been nice if CAE Bangalore was an approved training centre as one could save money on accomodation and other miscellaneous expenses

Do you know where in India the ground classes are conducted after receiving the LOA ?

Another question
Do you fly for IndiGo ?

[FlyByWire320]

Ground classes are held in Gurgaon for a month, followed by systems and perf test at the end. Bases are alloted during the ground training itself.

If you pass the exams, you start supy immediately after ground classes, supy goes on fr around 15 days (30 sectors) then you sit home for a few days(15-20) waiting for your sims, you have to do 2-3 sim sessions with a TRI/TRE before you go for your base training/aircraft fam (Flying an empty A320, 3 circuits by day or night) with a TRE. Then you sart your line training which takes around 1 month followed by your line release/route check.

Sim check is quite easy, just 2 circuits, 1 normal and one with engine failiure at V1 but it varies from time to time.

[AVIATROZ]

Can anyone plz shed somelight on difference between eadi and ehsi.........
Thanks

[yogesh.dhumale]

eadi is your attitude indicator or also called as pfd primary flight display
ehsi is your horizontal situation indicator or also called as nd navigation display
e stands for electronic
basically in an ehsi u get all your navigation details, weather radar etc
whereas in an eadi you get your airplanes attitude information plus ils loc and gs both, also your airspeed , boeing and airbus also gives information about your altitude.
thatz it nothing great

[koolchaos3188]

@flybywire - you do 2 sim sessions, which is like a practice session for your base training.
and you don't do base training by day and night, its done in the night only which includes 3 t/o and ldgs.

[elitepilot20]

hello friends:confused:
rumor has it that there is an exam in oct. ...any idea??

[AVIATROZ]

@elite pilot.......everyone is confused regarding this that when the next attempt gonna happen..............is ur rumour from a reliable source..............if anyone has any idea plz comment.

[CAT3_DUAL]

@ koolchaos3188

when during your ground classes, does IndiGo provide you with Accomodation, food allowance, transportation etc etc

[koolchaos3188]

I took classes from them for airline entrance prep. They are pretty good at it. Most of their students cleared either Jet or Indigo in the latest attempts. I couldn't make it personally, I am planning to re-attend the classes this time. They're going to start a new batch soon.

[9FLYJET9]

[lesternoronha]

for guys who have given the cass can you pls tell me..if the results are given the same day....and if i need so stay the day or can i catch the night flight back.
thank you.

[CAT3_DUAL]

there is no Pass or Fail
(make sure you prepare well for your CASS interview)
and ya it takes an entire day so make sure you have your tickets in the evening after 7-8PM.

after CASS and english test you'll straight away be called for the GD and interview so dont forget to ask them the tentative dates

best of luck

:ok::ok::ok:

[lesternoronha]

thanks so much for the info....do you have any advice on how i have to prepare for the assessment???

[capt.neo]

guys keep studyin hard..exams are going to be held in september..sure thing..

[CAT3_DUAL]

study the booklet very well

[TheEagle]

They wind up at around 5-6 pm so make ur plans accordingly. The CASS itself is something u cant really prepare much for except practicing flight simulator with a horrible joystick and thats just one stage. When they give those questions along with the flying then it gets messed up, u are supposed to do so much at one time that u can easily mess up basic flying or end up getting lost. They will create impossible circumstances for u. I have heard noone does well in CASS. Then the debrief is where they show u ur own flying video and ask where u went wrong n how will u correct ur mistakes. English test is simple. The interview is very casual so dont worry about that. I guess in the end what they r looking forward to is how well u can manage the stress. Just try to stay calm and get enough rest the day before.

Go through the booklet 4-5 times and dont stress, thats all that is required.

[9FLYJET9]

hope there is an exam in september guys.
any idea on the dates.

[lesternoronha]

thank so much guys.....has anyone gone to the bangalore centre yet...is there any place around that i can stay....heard it a village area...cant find any hotel....

[P51mustang]

I was in the same situation , i was able to find a near by lodge which is pretty close to the center ,the place is called R.V LODGE ,2ND FLR, DRV Plaza, NR Old Bus Stand, B B RD, Devanahalli, Bangalore - 562110 . i think i paid them 300 Rs for a non a/c room , and they have auto's available near the bus stop nearby so that you can make it to the center in the morning ,thier website is R.V Lodge & Function Hall (http://www.rvlodge.in/) , there are hotels near the airport but in the range of 2000 - 3000 Rs aswell . Hope this helps and All the best for your CASS !!

[CAT3_DUAL]

@ lesternoronhano

catch the early morning flight to Bangalore at 6 or so no need to stay there.
the CAE center is just 15 min away from the airport.
you'll reach well before time.
check the route on google earth if you don't believe
best of luck for your cass
:ok::ok::ok:

[P51mustang]

Yup thats an option too ,just make sure you keep a buffer just incase you run into any delay with your flight in the morning depending on where your taking off from ,or reach a day earlier if your taking the train .

[lesternoronha]

yes thats what figured since the weather hasnt been that great...so i booked a flight the previous day...ill look up the place thanks for the tip...was banking of a frnd but he had to bail..so now im searching...last min plans:}...thanks for the wishes you guys have been a real help...:ok:

[on wings]

hey guys i have applied for the indigo but havent heard from them..any guess y...

[TheEagle]

I have cleared the CASS and have been called for the interview n GD. Can anyone please tell me what to study and what to expect? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[speedbird787]

well first of all everybody clears CASS. in fact there is no pass or fail and all of them will be called for the GD & interview.

as for the interview my experience says that u have to confident and honest:ok:. expect questions on the technical aspects , meteorology and lots of aerodynamics. these three are huge subjects so lots of study is required.

there will also be some really difficult HR questions :ugh: for which u wont find answers in any book.its only up to you.

in the end its all about being calm ,cool and confident (CCC)

all the best:ok:

[TheEagle]

@speedbird787

Hi,

I am currently in Cae, KL(Indigo batch) for my type and i was wondering do we hv to make an indian logbook once we start flying in india? if not necessary, is it advisable to do so? I currently have a FAA Jeppesen logbook (green pages).

If yes, then i can get an indian logbook couriered to me within the next few days and have my 320 rating on it. Anyone having any knowledge regarding this please PM me or reply on the thread itself.

Thank You.

18. Then what do you do?
19. The Capt. tell's you the smoke is normal and it will clear itself, 15 minutes later the condition is growing worse. The Capt. gives you the same response.. now, what would you do?
20. The aircraft is loaded way beyond gross wt., the Capt. tell's you that he does this all the time, and the aircraft will fly. What do you do?
21. You have been cleared for take-off, upon getting airborne with the gear in the well's, what kind of conversation are you going to have with the Capt?
22. Your aviation career although progressing nicely is happening very slowly. How do you feel about this situation?
23. What are some of the limitations of your aircraft and yourself?

[P51mustang]

SET 3

1.On the descent, your captain drops below the glide slope. As FO. You bring it to his attention. He doesn’t respond to you or take corrective action. What should you do?
2.You’re the FO. Your Captain shows up with what seems to be the smell of liquor on his breath. What would you do? Why? Other options?
3.A thunderstorm is moving in and approaching the end of the runway. Your captain is continuing on the approach to the same runway. What would say/do? Why?
4.You’re at the hotel bar with your flight crew having drinks and its getting close to the 8 hour mark. Someone says lets have one more drink. What do you do?
5.How would you handle a situation where your captain didn’t seem to like you?
6.What would you do if your captain was performing nonstandard but not unsafe maneuvers?
7.There are heavy thunderstorms ahead and your captain wants to fly through them. What should you say to the captain?
8.You notice that your captain is not following the checklist. You bring it to his attention. He tells you he doesn’t need to follow it he knows it. What would you do? While in cruise, he starts reading a flight magazine. Should you say anything?
9.Under what circumstances do you feel an FO would be justified in taking control of the aircraft (in flight) away from the captain?
10.The manifest shows you’re 55 pounds overweight. You inform your captain. He tells you it’s okay to fly. What should you do?
11.If your captain showed up for your flight in a very bad mood, what would you do? Why?
12 . You find yourself flying with an arrogant Capt., and you have a real personality clash, how do you deal with this?


- During your training what was the easiest and Hardest part ? ( These are the question from VP Ops Capt Z that i fairly remember )
- How has aviation changed you as a person
- you are flying with an angry captain...how would you carry on the flight ?
- on the approach you are on short final unstablized and your capt asks for flaps and gear down ...what do you do .

All the best for your GD & Personal Interview !

@p51Mustang

Thanks a Lot for the Questions :ok:
Really appreciate your effort and i'm sure i can Thank You for all the people who'l read them.

Just a question,

When u said
(These are the question from VP Ops Capt Z that i fairly remember )
Did u mean the four questions below or SET #3 or some from all The Sets?

- During your training what was the easiest and Hardest part ?
- How has aviation changed you as a person
- you are flying with an angry captain...how would you carry on the flight ?
- on the approach you are on short final unstablized and your capt asks for flaps and gear down ...what do you do .

Also Who all is present during the interview other than Capt. S.Z.?

Thank You Once Again :)

[TheEagle]

@P51mustang

Cant thank you enough for all these questions. All of us have a much clear picture of things to come. Really appreciate the help and the work u have put in.

[ali81085]

thanks alot P51 :ok:

[stalwart2010]

Hello everyone,


Can anybody tell me if there are any banks which give loans for Type Rating.

P.S- Sorry since my post is not related to the indigo exam but I need some help on this..

[CAT3_DUAL]

Does anyone know why does IndiGo reject a few candidates at the interview stage ?

And why are these candidates never ever allowed to apply to IndiGo a second time ?

Can someone in IndiGo shed some light on this topic ?
@ cyril

as i said previously
It all depends on your CASS reports
and you cant do any thing about it, i mean you cant prepare for it nor you can change it. The only thing to take care about is that the Interview which they say its a ''Casual Interview'' many people dont take this interview seriously and go without preparation thus screwing their cass report and your interview:ugh::ugh::ugh: please give more stress on CASS as its more important than the final PI

despite telling this, people are taking this offensive.

[stalwart2010]

@cyrilroy21

Indigo says that its simply their company policy.The CASS and the interview rounds are mostly psychology/personality screening evaluations which cannot be changed.You can work harder for your written's but your personality traits are inherent and there is nothing you can do about it.They don't want to waste their time re-evaluating you.

[DJ Flyboy]

Q1. the approximate range of a 10KW ndb over the sea is:

ans-100nm
{but i think ans should be 3* under root of 100=3*316=948nm.
plz some one xpalin the answer}The formula for NDB range over water is
3*√wattage
=> range = 3 * √10000 = 3*100 = 300nm
Are you sure the answer is 100? Or maybe i have got something wrong. Anybody with a different explaination here?

Q2.An a/c is over flying a VOR at 30,000feet at a grd speed of 300kt.The maximum time during which no usable signal will be received{in mins and sec} is:
a.0.50
b.4.40
c.2.25- ans
d.1.40Cone of confusion radius = Height in nm * tan 50 = (30000/6080)*tan 50 = 5.88
therefore dia of CoC is 11.76nm
GS is 300 kts
Time taken to cross 11.76 nm @ 300 kts = 2 min 21 sec = 2.35 min (approx 2.25)

Q3. using a 5 dot CDI, how many dots would show for an a/c on the edge at 100nm for VOR beacon

ans- 1.5
Just couldnt understand this question.
But I guess θ = (S * 60)/R will give the answer. Maybe edge means + or - 5 nm then using the formula, θ = 3 which is 1.5 dots.

one degree at 200 nm represents a width of:
ans-3.5 nmθ = (S * 60)/R
=> θ * (R/60) = S
=> 1 * (200/60) = S
=> S = 3.33 (approx 3.5) nm

[flyon777]

hi everyone,just wanted to know who all have cleared indigo final interview this time?

[upilotg]

Hi,
Did anyone get a call letter for September attempt? :rolleyes:

[thearsenal]

The lift coefficient of an aeroplane in steady horizontal flight is .42, an increase in angle of attack increases CL by .1. A vertical gust instantly changes the angle of attack by 3 degrees. The load factor will be
a. 1.71
b. 0.74
c. 1.49
d. 2.49

a. is the correct answer.

would appreciate it if anybody could explain the rationale behind it. cheers.

[9FLYJET9]

@upilotg: NO NEWS ON SEPTEMBER ATTEMPT. DID YOU GET THE LETTER OR HEARD ANYTHING ON THE SEPTEMBER ATTEMPT ?

[3443 nautical miles]

@thearsenal
The lift coefficient of an aeroplane in steady horizontal flight is .42, an increase in angle of attack increases CL by .1. A vertical gust instantly changes the angle of attack by 3 degrees. The load factor will be


load factor= lift/weight
in case of horizontal flight load factor is 1 because lift is equal to weight
as angle of attack changes lift will change but weight will remain constant
now new load factor is = (0.42+0.3)/0.42
= 0.72/0.42
= 1.71

[ButterFly747]

hi everyone...
any news on the dates of sept assessment??

[thearsenal]

I sort of figured it out after i posted it, but appreciate the explanation. cheers bro.

[upilotg]

No, no news :ugh:

[9FLYJET9]

@upilotg: ok, lets wait till we hear anything.

anyone with any info on september dates, please share.

[AVIATROZ]

Q1. An a/c receives a reply pulse from a DME 1200micro sec after transsmission of the interrogation pulse.The DME has a fixed delay of 50 micro sec. the range of the a/c from the DME station is:
a.75nm
b.63nm
c.45nm
d.93nm- ans

Q2. The time interval b/w the transmission of a given DME interrogation pulse and the reception of the appropriate response pulse at the a/c is 2 milli sec. the slant range is:

ans162nm

Q3. The accuracy of DME at 100 nm slant range is within:
a.3nm-- ans
b.4nm
c.2nm
d.1nm
{ i think ans shud be 1 nm as accuracy of dme is 1.25% of range.
so (1.25/100)*100=1.25}

plz shed some light.

Q4.A/c is following the ILS glidepath of 3degrees at an airfeild where the outer mrker is 4.2nm from the ILS touchdown point. the a/c approach speed is 130kt. the height of the a/c at the outer marker shud be:
a.1150ft
b.1200ft
c.1310ft---ans
d.960ft

{my ans does`nt match.........i did like..........i used 1 in 60 rule...
i.e. {(3degrees *4.2)/60}*6080=1276.8.................}
i think i m doing it in wrong way:ugh: plz correct...thanks

Q5. At 5.25nm frm threshold an a/c on an ILS Approach has a display showing it to be 4dots low on a 3 degree glidepath, using an angle of 0.15degree per dot of glideslope deviation and the 1 in 60 rule calculate the height of the a/c from the touchdown.
a.1375ft
b.1325ft
c.1450ft
d.1280ft
{as a/c is low for 4dots on ILS ...... i.e. 0.15*4=0.6
therefore, 3-0.6=2.4degree}
(now, using 1 in 60 rule, ((2.4*5.26)/60)*6080=1279.2}

plz ILS hed ILS ome light on this

[DJ Flyboy]

Q1. An a/c receives a reply pulse from a DME 1200micro sec after transsmission of the interrogation pulse.The DME has a fixed delay of 50 micro sec. the range of the a/c from the DME station is:
a.75nm
b.63nm
c.45nm
d.93nm- ansRadio waves travel at 300000km/sec
The delay is 50 microsec therefore time is 1150 microsec.
Distance traveled by Radio wave (To and fro) in 1150 * 10 ^ (-6) sec = 345 km = 186 nm
one way distance = 93 nm.

The time interval b/w the transmission of a given DME interrogation pulse and the reception of the appropriate response pulse at the a/c is 2 milli sec. the slant range is2 milli sec = 2 *10^ (-3) sec
Distance covered by radio wave in 2 ms = 600 km = 324.3 nm
one way distance = 162 nm

Q4.A/c is following the ILS glidepath of 3degrees at an airfeild where the outer mrker is 4.2nm from the ILS touchdown point. the a/c approach speed is 130kt. the height of the a/c at the outer marker shud be:
a.1150ft
b.1200ft
c.1310ft---ans
d.960ftNow ROD = Glide Angle * Ground Speed * 100/60
=> ROD = 3 * 130* 100/60 = 650 ft/min

Time to cover 4.2nm @ 130kts = 2 min
=> A/C would decend 1300 feet ~ 1310.

Q5. At 5.25nm frm threshold an a/c on an ILS Approach has a display showing it to be 4dots low on a 3 degree glidepath, using an angle of 0.15degree per dot of glideslope deviation and the 1 in 60 rule calculate the height of the a/c from the touchdown.
a.1375ft
b.1325ft
c.1450ft
d.1280ft
{as a/c is low for 4dots on ILS ...... i.e. 0.15*4=0.6
therefore, 3-0.6=2.4degree}
(now, using 1 in 60 rule, ((2.4*5.26)/60)*6080=1279.2}
Dude even I'm getting 1280ft maybe they mean the GS indication is down 4 dots => present GS is 3.6 but then the answer is some 1900 ft ..does anyone else know how to solve this.

[P51mustang]

After solving everythg and pasting it on a word doc ... DJ Flyboy outraced me
Nice job !!

- ((2.4*5.25 )/60)*6080=1276} + 50 = 1326 ( the ils brings you 50 ft above touchdown )

[P51mustang]

Q2. The time interval b/w the transmission of a given DME interrogation pulse and the reception of the appropriate response pulse at the a/c is 2 milli sec. the slant range is:

ans162nm

The Pulse takes 12.36 microseconds to travel 1 nautical mile to and back ,
2 millisecond [ms] = 2000 microsecond
2000/ 12.36 = 161.8 nm


Q3. The accuracy of DME at 100 nm slant range is within:
a.3nm-- ans
b.4nm
c.2nm
d.1nm
{ i think ans shud be 1 nm as accuracy of dme is 1.25% of range.
so (1.25/100)*100=1.25}

-ICAO recommends accuracy of 0.25 nm plus 1.25% of the distance measured.
which would be 0.25 + 1.25 = 1.5
OR
- DME accuracy should be within 3% or .5 nm which ever is greater
( You will find both these answers in various books , so for the indigo exam go with 3% as it fits )

@ DJ Flyboy ... just following the footsteps of all in this forum ...To share all that i can !! :ok::ok:

[SaabCapt]

ILS glide path is 2.8deg. At what altitude above threshold level is the upper limit of the glide path coverage at a distance of 1.5nms from the touchdown point?

a) 610feet
b)865feet
c)425feet
d)745feet --Ans


Does anyone know how to get this? I'm getting c as the answer.

Q1.What is the minimum level tht an a/c,at a range of113nm,must fly in order to contact the tower on R/T for a VDF bearing frm an airport sited 169ft above MSL
a.FL50
b.FL60-----ANs

Q2.An a/c travelling at330 m/sec transmit a signal at 10GHZ to a stationary receiver.if the a/c is flying directly towards the receiver and they are approximately at the same height the received frequency will be
a. 11MHz
b. 10.000011GHz

Q3.At 1000Z an a/c is overhead NDB AB enroute to NDB BC,track 075{M},hdg 082{M} at1029Z NDB AB bears 176 relative and NDB BC bears 353 relative.the hdg to steer at 1029Z to reach NDB BC is:
079{M}---ans

Q4. An a/c is mantaining track outbound from an NDB with a constant relative bearing of 184degree. to return to the NDB the relative bearing to maintain is:
356degree-------ans
{shud`nt the ans be 004degree......plz correct my concept.......i think i m making some mistake in understanding the question somewhere...}

@ SAAB CAPT

a) 610feet
b)865feet
c)425feet
d)745feet --Ans


see.........as in the question they have mentioned that they are asking for the upper limit of glidepath coverage........and the coverage of gidepath .....lowerlimit is0.45of theta and the upperlimit is 1.75of theta....................in this case we require upper limit of glidepath............

so use 1.75of theta=1.75*2.8=4.9degrees

now altitude of a/c=({4.9*1.5}/60)*6080 feet= 744.8feet =745feet{approx}

i hope this solves ur problem...:ok:

a. 11MHz
b. 10.000011GHz--ans
fD / f = V / c

where
FD = Frequency Shift = ?
f = Transmitted Frequency = 10*10^9 Hz
V = Velocity of the aircraft = 330 m/s
c = speed of the Radio wave = 3*10^8 m/s

fD = (330 * 10* 10^9)/(3*10^8) = 11000 Hz

fNew = f + fD = 10Ghz + 11000Hz = 10.000011Ghz.

Indigo HR question: If you attain all your goals as a professional pilot what do you intend to give back to aviation?

well you r giving it back as a fresher. I am sure you will do much more after achieving your goals.

@ everyone who cleared june and july writtens

Could anyone inform if everyone cleared all the stages in between - of english rounds, cass, and GD , - or does indigo fails people in this round

[eaglewings11]

Good luck to those taking the upcoming indigo exam :)

[P51mustang]

The suns moves from East to West at a speed of 15° longitude an hour. What ground speed will give you the opportunity to observe the sun due south at all times at 6000N?
A)780 Kt. B)300 Kt. C)450 Kt. D)520 Kt.



You must match the speed of the sun from that particular lattitude
Dlong = 15 x 60 =900
Dept = Dlong x cos lat
900 x cos 60
= 450

Therefore you req a ground speed of 450 kt

[guitarboy]

Good Luck to everyone giving the exam.

Well a general question. The website says the Syllabus for the exam is the DGCA Syllabus for CPL D7B-B4.

So does the paper include the Technical Performance & Tecnhical Specific Parts too? or just the other ones stated there?

[superdunkaroos]

Q3.At 1000Z an a/c is overhead NDB AB enroute to NDB BC,track 075{M},hdg 082{M} at1029Z NDB AB bears 176 relative and NDB BC bears 353 relative.the hdg to steer at 1029Z to reach NDB BC is:
079{M}---ans

Somebody please expalin how to solve this.
This is a very poorly framed question.

for this(assuming heading was kept constant,082M) :
the a/c is 3degrees off track(RB change of 173 to 176 wrt AB)at 1029Z and the relative bearing to BC(NDB) is 353 that is 7 degrees to the left, so total correction would be 7+3=10 degrees to the left but at 1000Z you can tell that the a/c is experiencing 7 degrees of port drift, so total correction will become 10-7=3 degrees portside which is 082-3=079.

Makes more sense if you draw it out.

[SuperflyTNT]

Any idea if they will continue to conduct these exams after the Sept 21st/22nd session? I haven't gotten an e-mail for the Sept batch. Will there be any exams by CAE in the months of Oct/Nov/Dec ? PLS REPLY. Thanks

For those of you looking for the Indigo question bank i have given a download link at the bottom of this post from where you can download it

Its a collection of previous questions that users had uploaded and also the ones that were emailed by "aadityaslg" .

There is no garuntee that any of these questions will come for future attempts hence only use it to put your knowledge to the test .

And pleases dont keep asking the Jet Airways thread for an IndiGo question bank :ugh:

What will happen to Indicated Mach No. in a long range cruise as the weight decreases with same flight level? And why?

[smurf84]

Sorry to interrupt. Does IndiGo have multiple centres for conducting the exam?

[upilotg]

Did anyone receive the admission ticket from capt. Upendranath yet?:rolleyes:

@smurf84- The exam is held 'only' at Delhi.

[flyingmachine3]

thanks bro for the help:ok:

[aadityaslg]

Thank you Cyrilroy21 :)

[ak129]

hey m not sure but just making a guess

as the weight decreases the a/c can fly at lower angle of attack (coz less lift required ie; at same power) and flying at lower angle of attack would mean higher tas and therefore a higher mach no.

thts just a try please correct me if m wrong

[thearsenal]

@ak129

You got that a bit mixed up it is true that the angle of attack would decrease with weight, but the speed required to generate that lift will also decrease, hence TAS is reducing, and hence mach no is also reducing. Do correct me if im wrong, but as far as i know this is correct.

[LbyD]

Anyone happens to know if this is going to be the last exam for this year.. i am still in my cool off period and i am really tensed.. most of the people are saying that this is the last exam by indigo.. please share the information.. i'll be really thankful..

[flaps 45]

Most people said the same about the July attempt. So I guess the answer to your question is in front of you. :ok:

Guys, Can someone please post the email they got from Indigo/Parul here. I got the call email on my alternative email ID which is blocked for a reason now. Can someone please tell me Parul's email address and also please forward the email you received from Indigo to [email protected]. Someone, please send it very soon, I need to send email them back with the details. Thanks a ton guys.

[upilotg]

Check your email buddy. I've sent it. Send them your details by today, the last date is 8th Sep. Best of luck.

Helo friends .
I have applied on Radhika & upendera s is but havnt received any mail from their side . My IR lapsed in July , is it necessary to have current IR.
I'll really appreciate if u can suggest me possible way to get call .

[vmendes]

@ecks your IR need not be current all you require is a ME/IR rating endorsed on your license.Has anyone got the call letter for the exam?

[Aviator09]

@ above posts
Why can't you scroll to a few previous pages and look for the link that has been compiled by cyrilroy. Instead of flooding the thread with such requests, post things that can be productive to all.

I can understand how irritating it should get for aadityaslg to reply to all everytime with the same answer.Yet, everyone seems to be ignorant.

[streamliner]

hi there,
I'm new here ... if anyone has received the hall ticket info after sending there updated cv and spreadsheet ..please do let me know.....i have not yet received any reply regarding this....thank you

[flight517]

@aviator_0088 your answer option d-216nm is correct as the formula is 1.25[sqroot(H1)+sqroot(H2)] whereas the answer mentioned(a-175) has been calculated by using the formula 1.25[sqroot(H1+H2)] which is incorrect.

[errordetector]

Hello fellow pilots, I had given the July 2011 written exam and have successfully passed all the stages.....A small piece of advice for everyone :-

1. Time management is extremely important as you will get maybe 1.2 minutes for each question.
2. The question bank wont really help.Its the overall knowledge of the subject which matters.
3. The performance in Written,CASS and GD is very important as it directly affects the interview.
4. Keep working hard as that is the only way which will take you till the end.
5. I was waiting for almost a year and it was extremely difficult and frustrating.I kept my cool and it paid off at the end.

Good luck to everyone.:ok::ok::ok::ok::ok:

[SuperflyTNT]

If the static line to the ASI is blocked during a long descent, a dangerous situation could arise due to ASI:

(a) overreading, this indicated speed falsely showing the a/c to be further from the stalling speed than it actually is.
(b) underreading, this indicated speed falsely showing the a/c to be closer to the stalling speed than it actually is.
(c) underreading, this indicated speed possibly leading to the operation fo flaps and/or landing gear at speeds in excess of safety speeds.
(d) overreading, this indicated speed possibly leading to the operation fo flaps and/or landing gear at speeds in excess of safety speeds.

Answer marked in the answer key is (c) ; shouldn't the right answer be OVER READ.

[cats200]

Yes the ASI should OVER READ during the DESCENT....:ok:

[thearsenal]

yup it is overread and (a) is the correct answer.

[aviator_0088]

@flight517
Thanks. Even I thought so. And the same discrepancy is found in some more similar questions too. But if this question is asked in the exam, which option should be marked correct?

@all
At what height is the partial pressure of Oxygen in the lungs approx. half that at the Sea Level?
a. 10,000ft
b. 25,000ft
c. 30,000ft
d. 18,000ft

Although the given answer is d. 18,000ft, but the text says it should be 10,000ft.
Does anyone have any idea abt this, or am I taking the question in a wrong way?

[smurf84]

aviator -

I came across this - When surfavce air pressure is 30 inches of Hg, Oxygen will contribute 6 inches of partial pressure. At 18000 ft, atmospheric pressure is 15 inches of Hg. Hence, oxygen will contribute 3 inches of partial pressure.

I strongly believe the answer is 18000 feet.

[smurf84]

By the way, where are the IndiGo exams held in Delhi?

[aviator_0088]

@smurf
Although I'm convinced by your answer, there still lies a confusion in the fact that Oxford says. That at 10,000ft, the partial pressure of Oxygen is 55mm Hg, which of course is the half (actually almost half) of that at Sea Level (103mm Hg).

The exam is usually conducted at Hotel Parkland, Nehru Place.

[Thnk beynd Glass wal]

@aviator and
it is given in respect to lungs not the atmospheric pressure , Also aftr some questions it is again asked for atmospheric condition and answer is again 18000.

but main thing is if this comes in exam what should one do ??

[aviator_0088]

There's definitely some kinda discrepancy in those questions, I believe.

Did anyone get their confirmation mail from Indigo?

[ButterFly747]

Hi everyone,

could anybody please help me with a couple of questions. Cant figure them out!!

1. The total length of the 53° N parallels of latitude on a direct Mercator chart is 133 cm. What is the approximate scale of the chart at latitude 30° S?

A) 1 : 25 000 000



2. On a Direct Mercator chart at latitude of 45° N, a certain length represents a distance of 90 NM on the earth. The same length on the chart will represent on the earth, at latitude 30° N, a distance of:

A) 110 NM.



Really appreciate for time and help..thankyou :)

[livetokill22]

Is multiple engine endorcement necessary for indigo exam?
I just have 221 hrs on c 152. & 172 combined.

[vivekh]

Yes you need a M/E rating with at least 25 hrs in the log book. Of the 25hrs, only a maximum of 10 hrs can be on a simulator, at least 15 need to be on the aircraft.

[upilotg]

Can someone kindly explain and answer this question from the question bank:-

In a magnetic forces z is
Ans.
a)Directly proportional to h
b)Inversely to z
c)Inversely to h
:ugh:
????

[alonelyaviator]

ans is C
H is max at equator and z is max at poles.

[cyrilroy21]

@livetokill22

You need a multi engine - IR rating on your Indian DGCA license . A MultiEngine rating alone wont be enough

And ofcourse the 25 hrs of ME requirement

[AVIATROZ]

anyone got the hall ticket for the coming exam..........if anyone gets plz post it here

thanks

[skybuster7]

Nope havent got the roll nos yet

[The Horus]

any one have any idea - usually how long does indigo takes to send out roll no.

[mike.tango]

Regarding Indigo multi engine requirement

I have total 25 hours of actual flying on 2 different multi-engine aircrafts, do both the aircrafts necessarily have to be endorsed on my current CPL License to fulfill 25 hours of multi engine requirement.

Thank you

[FLYINGW]

@Mike.Tango: No, I don't think so, they need total of Multi-engine hours, and they want multi-engine Rating endorsed on your indian CPL.

[thearsenal]

the time taken for a dme interrogation pulse to travel to the ground transponder and return to the airborne receiver is 2000 microseconds
The slant range from the ground transponder is

a)186nm
b)296nm
c)330nm
d)165nm

I'm really not sure about this so if anybody could please explain, it would be greatly appreciated. cheers.

[Aviator09]

Time is inversely proportional to frequency.
Time=2000 Micro seconds = 2000 x 10 ^(-6) seconds
There's usually a time delay induced at DME station after which replies are being sent.Its not mentioned in the question though. So, I assume it to be none.

Speed of light=3 x 10^8 m/s
F=1/t =1/(2000 X10^-6) seconds

Hence, Range(to n fro)= (3x10^8) x { 2000 x 10^ (-6) } metres
=600000 m or 600 km= 324 NM

One way distance would be 162 NM (324/2).

Closest answer is D

[thearsenal]

@aviator09

made perfect sense. cheers mate.

Q1. The ISA pressure for 18000feet are:
anS. 506hpa
plz Someone guide how to cal pressure change with altitude.

Q2.An inc. of 0.15Mach result in an inc. of 93kt TAs of an a/c. the local speed of sound is:
ANs-620KTs
PLZ guide how to solve this problem

Q3.An a/c is flying at 400ft from a high temp area to a cold temp area where the temp diff. is 20degree. what will be actual height of a/c:
Ans-3680feet
{As we are going from low density to high density area........the true height should decrease right!....i get that point but how to calculate barometric error......because QNH is not given:ugh:....only temprature diff of 20degree is given.........plz explain}

Q4.An inc. of 0.15Mach number result in an inc. of93kts in TAs.if temp deviation from IsA Is +9DEGREE,the FL is:
ANs--FL220{plz explain}

Q5.The atmospheric pressure at FL70 in a "standard +10" atmosphere is:
ANs---781.85HPa{plz expalin}

Q6.Cruising at FL390,M0.84 is found to give a TAs of 499kt.the IsA deviation at this level will be:
A. +17---------ans
B.+!9
C.-17
{i m getting my ans as +22degree plz help}

[errordetector]

In the 6th question the temperature at FL 390 is -56.5 as the tropopause starts at 36090ft.
If you use this temp then the Isa dev will be +16 and very close to the answer.

In the first answer the pressure values are supposed to be mugged up.
eg 700hpa - 10000ft
800hpa - 18000ft
300hpa - 30000ft
200 hpa - 39000ft

The rest questions ill figure out and will let u know.

[vmendes]

has anyone from mumbai recieved the confirmation email? Its confirmed that people in delhi have started recieving call letters.

[SaabCapt]

If VS is 100 kt in straight and level flight, during a 45 bank turn VS will be:
A)100 kts B)140 kts C)119 kts D)80 kts



Does anyone know how to do this?

[SaabCapt]

when did you guys got the second mail from Radhika?
I haven't got it yet..

[Aviator09]

@ AVIATORZ

Q1 There is a theoretical table of pressure at various altitudes. It goes like this,

850 HPa - 5000 Ft
700 HPa- 10000 Ft
500 HPa- 20000 Ft
300 HPa- 30000 Ft
200 HPa- 40000 Ft
50 HPa - 68000 Ft

The question states 18000 Ft, hence pressure would be just a little more than 500 HPa.

Q 2 Mach No.= TAS/LSS
Inc. of 0.15 mach = Inc of 93 kts TAS/LSS
LSS= 93/0.15= 620 Kts


Q4 LSS is same as above question, 620 kts
LSS= 38.94 sq.root of absolute temperature
Put in the value of LSS and absolute temp= 254 Kelvin= -19 degree C
Temperature Deviation= OAT- ISA temp.
+9 = -19-ISA
ISA Temp.= -28 Deg. C

ISA Temp= 15 - (2 X Altitude)
-28= 15- 2 X Alt.
Altitude= 21.5 = 21500 Feet (close to FL220)

Q6 M.No= TAS/LSS
Put in values of M.no and TAS and find out LSS which comes out to be 594 Kts.

LSS= 38.94 sq.root of absolute temp.
OAT=233 Kelvin= -40.27 deg. C

ISA temp. Above 36090 ft is -56.5 deg. c
OAT- ISA= Temp. Deviation
-40.27- (-56.5)= +16.23 deg C (Close to +17)

[Aviator09]

@SaabCapt

Stall Speed in a turn increases by 19% of initial at 45 degree bank.
19% of 100 is 19 Kts, so new speed would be 100 + 19= 119 Kts.

It is 7% for 30 deg bank
19% for 45 deg bank
41% for 60 deg Bank
100 % for 75 deg bank.

[Pavan Nayak]

Q2. LSS= TAS/M.No

93/.15 = 620

Irrespective of what your TAS or M.NO is the local speed of sound will be the same
Think of it as if you were flying at M.No 0.15 and with 93k as your TAS.

Q3.
I am assuming the question is for 4000 ft and not 400.

True altitude = P.A + (4*Height is thousands of feet* Temperature variation)

From the above mentioned formula for every 10deg rise in temp P.A increases by 4% or vice versa.

Since temperature variation is 20deg 8% of 4000 is 320.

And your flying from High Temperature to Low temperature hence your Altimeter will Over read. So its 4000-320 which is 3680.

Q.4
For the given figures LSS is 620(refer Q2).

To have a LSS of 620k the corresponding temp must be -20deg in ISA

Because it is Isa+9 we need to find an altitude that has a temp of -29 in ISA so that we can have -20deg at that altitude due to ISA deviation.

At FL220 ISA temp is -29
-29+9= -20.
LSS= 39*sq rt of(273-20)
LSS= 620.

Q.5
7000/30 = 233mb (1mb is 30 ft)

Standard + 10 = 233 +10 = 243

1013.2 -243 = 770 mb approx

I am not entirely sure of this particular solution, if anybody has a better way that would yield more accurate answer or if my answer is wrong, please shed some light I would like to learn it too.

And good luck with your preparations.!

[AVIATROZ]

Q3.An a/c is flying at 400ft from a high temp area to a cold temp area where the temp diff. is 20degree. what will be actual height of a/c:
Ans-3680feet
{As we are going from low density to high density area........the true height should decrease right!....i get that point but how to calculate barometric error......because QNH is not given:ugh:....only temprature diff of 20degree is given.........plz explain}

[Pavan Nayak]

load factor = 1/ cos(bank angle)

sq rt(loadfactor)* Vs = stall speed for any bank angle.!

1/cos45 = 1.414, sq rt(1.414) = 1.189.

Vs(45deg) = 1.189*100= 119.

Good Luck!

[werido1100]

There is simple formula for this..

Stall speed at the angle of bank = stall speed straight and level X underroot (1/ cos angle of bank)

You can calculate for any angle then..

so 100 X underoot 1/cos 45 = 119

[werido1100]

the question is wrong here..it should be 4000 ft,

When going from high temp to cold then it will over read..

and the reading changes 4degree per 1000 ft per degree C..

so 4 X 20 X 4 = 320 ft

over read means 4000- 320 = 3680ft

[SuperflyTNT]

@weirdo

could you please explain why u multiplied 4 x 20 x 4

this step : " so 4 X 20 X 4 = 320 ft "

Thanks.

[adi6515]

@SuperflyTNT It's werido not weirdo :E

in the step : " 4 X 20 X 4 = 320 ft "

First 4 is fts you use per thousand of altitude.

20 is the temperature difference.

second 4 is from the altitude which is 4000fts .

Hence it is 320 fts.

Rest is explained above by werido......

Q another name for " the leans " (H.F)
a.oculogravic effect
b.oculogyral illusion
c.somatogyral illusion
d.ocular disorientation
wat would be the right answer for this

as per me it shold be C but book says its B.
plz help...

[Flybi]

Vestibular/somatogyral illusions

Illusions involving the semicircular and somatogyral canals of the vestibular system of the ear occur primarily under conditions of unreliable or unavailable external visual references and result in false sensations of rotation. These include the leans, the graveyard spin and spiral, and the coriolis illusion.

[Flybi]

hi guys...did any one received the reconfirmation call from indigo.....????

[streamliner]

hi guys ...
any news from indigo about roll no. or hall tickets...:ugh:
please could you mail mr. upendra nath email id to mail address [email protected].....
thank you.

[flyingmachine3]

so wat should be the answer somatogyral illusion right

[Flybi]

yes it is option C.somatogyral illusion

[flyingmachine3]

as per the book it says B :ugh:

[streamliner]

yes
the vestibular apparatus is not always sufficiently reliable to mailtain an accurate model of orientation. this condition is known as leans or somatorygyral illusion. can occur any time in flight. while getting into turn and getting out

sent....all the best....!!!!!:O:

[flyingmachine3]

can u plz send me the question bank aswell @[email protected]
thanks mate

[skybuster7]

@ AVIATORZ

TAS is also given by TAS= rate ^ radius

therefore,

Radius = TAS/ rate
= 480/ 3deg^60 ( since rate-1 and 1deg=60)
Radius= 2.6 nm


and diameter= 2^radius= 2^2.6=5.2nm approx close to 5nm

[Flybi]

sent.......pray for me that i get the confirmation mail and hall ticket.....:)

[flyingmachine3]

thanks mate will do that and u do the same for me too....:ok:

[Thnk beynd Glass wal]

@ AVIATORZ

calculate dist travelled in one min as TAS is given
since it is a rate one turn the a/c will travel 180 deg in one min.

use formula => pi * r = dist in one min
and u get ur ans ( approx)

pi * r = (480/60)
r= 8/ pi
r = 2.54

d = r * 2
d= 5.09

[on_demand]

Friends this is the first time I applied for Indigo assessment.. I got the mail from radhika, to which I replied with the necessary details..
However I have not received any reply after that.. Now I see that people have already got final call.. Is it normal situation that not all who have applied get the final call for assessment..? I am sure the criteria for the final call won't be in public domain but any guesses for the same?

[Thnk beynd Glass wal]

i know that this has been solved before but i strongly felt that sm ppl have problem in understanding but are not asking may b feeling awkward....

Ans to ques 3 again ;

When going from high temp to cold then it will over read..

and the reading changes 4 feet for every 1000 ft/ degree C..

so at 1000 ft reading change will be 4 * 20 = 80 feet
And for 4000 feet will be = 4 X 20 X 4 = 320 ft

over read means 4000- 320 = 3680ft

[aviator_0088]

Its not of course the confirmation mail, but sort of a re-confirmation mail which instructs you to reconfirm with their personnel that you desire to appear for the exam. But only a few people have got this sort of mail; the second one actually, not everyone (including me).

[rwy07]

Email which i got from parul today


Dear Candidate,


You have been shortlisted for the upcoming exam in Sept 2011. 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 latest by 15th Sept 2011.Once we gets a confirmation from your end, you will be issued the hall ticket by with the test date and venue details.

[Flybi]

@rwy07 can u confirm the date and time u received the email.....plz?

and guys keep posting whenever u get the confirmation mail.....

i just hope that they will send the emails today also........

[beinghuman]

Yeh, I haven't got the confirmation email as well. It's a little to late to send the confirmation emails. I hope they do it latest by today. As far as I know, each batch has about 100 students approximately. This time, many students have been sent an email, I think not everyone will get a call for 21st / 22nd of September. May be, they might call the other half for the next batch. Let's wait and see. Today should be it.
