Indigo Call letters for Freshers

[peeeprune]

A warm hello to everyone on this forum.

I am interested to know if anyone has recieved the Call/Email for the Indigo Cae exam happening on the 12th Dec 2010 yet.

Also if anyone has updates for changes in the syllabus kindly post it here.

I request the pilots flying for Indigo to contribute on this thread and help the young pilots hoping to fly for indigo achieve their dreams.

Regards
:D

[vserian]

But still you guys have to pay for the type rating na?
I heard its quiet expensive

[IIJ]

its mainly human factors+ aerodynamics..is the exam date confirmed though???

[Challenger05]

Yesssir they still gotta pay 30k USD for the rating in beautiful spain at CAE..:ooh:

Wonder why CAE doesnt add another 320 sim in BLR and help the lines cut costs down..I am sure they can find sim clients specially now that 6E and KF 320 fleets are big enough to justify more sims...

[guitarboy]

anyone knows how many have gone thru this way of getting hired? i.e. the total number of guys that have passed the assessment till date and gone for rating?

and also has the first batch gotten online? back frm rating? in process of getting online? any updates on that?

$30k is good money !!!!

[cloudrippa]

Greetings people!

So is the December Indigo test a sure thing? Is Ms.Huria still the person in charge of giving out the invites? any suggestions from anyone on how to go about the whole process would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
:ok:

[LOFT]

@peeprune

are you absolutely sure about the date of exam ?

coz i heard it was supposed to be towards November end.

:ok:

[bombayhues]

Hey peeprune,
Did you get a letter from CAE for the exam? Is the date confirmed?

[peeeprune]

Hello everyone.
Well i am already working in indigo, but not as a pilot. i just started this thread so that i could help you guys in some way,i.e by alerting you about the exam date in advance.
Yes the exam date is confirmed as of now, but i wont be surprised if they prepone it. The management have shortlisted around 75 candidates who will receive the email for the exam, so keep studying and work hard. They will recruit quite a number this time it seems.

Regards.

Thats so nice of you to take some time and help us.
I applied for this program in March and since then no calls from CAE or Indigo.
In fact i am very disappointed with CAE for their unprofessional behavior.

As you say management have already selected 75 candidates, so the last hope for all of us could just be to email them and hope for the best. :ok:

[VictorFoxtrot]

On what basis do they "SHORTLIST" the candidates??

[koolchaos3188]

@speedbird1014 - call Mrs. Parul-recruiter pilot provisioning you will definitely get an email then. thats what i did to receive the email for july attempt. you will find her number in another forum for indigo but you will have to search for that forum.

[Speedbird1014]

found her number, have been trying calling her from yesterday, no answer...:*

[peeeprune]

well i seriously doubt if she will be of any help even if she responds. The list has already been prepared. So right now you can just keep yourself engaged with the books and wait n see if you get a call. i hope quite a few from this forum get called for it.

Dont loose hope guys, for if you have made it till this point, you shall go forward.

All the best to everyone!

Regards.

[Speedbird1014]

You are right mate, but lets try whatever we could........

Good Luck to all...:ok:

[harsh786techy]

Did all the fellow people here, who got the call letter ,applied through CAE website for Indigo...
If yes then do we have to pay the fees in advance before being called for the exam or after we get the call up letter?
Wish luck to all who got the call...

[bombayhues]

Harsh: You have to pay the fees after you receive the email to write the exam. The email contains details as to where and how you need to make the payment

[dragstar]

any info on how many people have been sent call letters for the exam?
Since the examination is on 4 days, I wonder how many people will be appearing in this exam?

[harsh786techy]

Thanks bombayhues....

[siddu.pon]

So hws the preperation guys???n any further mail from cae??

[koolchaos3188]

i have heard Mrs. Parul has resigned from Indigo...

[speedbird234]

One of my friends did not get a call letter from indigo, so he emailed Ms. Parul and her reply was "Thank you for your email. I am on a holiday"... and he got the reply yesterday in the evening..!!

[flyboy_nz]

Goodluck everyone, one of my close friends has already been selected. He has already put the deposit down for the type-rating. Start date is 2nd of March. Apparantly, selection process format is going to be Written test (a lot of questions were asked on upper Met, AGK and General Knowledge), Group session & IQ test.

[bombayhues]

1. The written papers has varied from exam to exam. The paper touches up on all the topics with emphasis on a different topic each time around. I think flyboy meant CRM when he was talking about General Knowledge.
2. The "IQ test" is the psychometric test
3. There is a group discussion on the day of the interview

[capt.xyz]

So have anyone got any further correspondence after the first e-mail asking the details...???
:ok:
Thanks

[siddu.pon]

After sending the details, did any1 get any reply?

[capt.xyz]

no buddy...no reply yet..

[BradPitt]

Hey Flyboy, when did your friend sit for the interview!!

[capt.xyz]

Next mail asking the payment of 375 USD is received ......!

Can someone suggest what to study and from where....???

[blackhawk777]

Can somebody tel me for how long would the candidate has to be in Delhi...

[37thousandfeet]

when did u apply for indigo? is it through CAE..?

[blackhawk777]

37Kfeet : I have been applying for this written since March - April if i remember correctly... I did apply again in November.

Yes... Applied through CAE link on IndiGo website..

[bombayhues]

Blackhawk: You will have to make multiple visits to Delhi. Each round is a day long and is separated by weeks (except for the very first batch who had the written, psycho, and the interview within 8 days!)

[maverick_87]

I had word with parul 2dy.. and i requested for call letter to give this exams. but she said its not in there hands and the computer sends autogenerated e mail to the candidates directly from the system.
God know whts goin on with this CAE...

[Scoobydon]

no CAE doesnt send automated reply to its candidates...its wrong. :=

[dragstar]

any information on the no. of people being called for the exam?

[euindkan]

Is CAE still sending out emails for written exam or that's it for Dec attempt.

[Vasu Gupta]

Hey people,

I have received an e-mail from Ms Huria regarding CAE exams. I have no idea how and what to study ? I am sick and tired of studying oxford and cant do it more. Help me guys .....!!!!!!!:ugh:

[blackhawk777]

Hey..... after submitting the fee receipt have u already got the mail abt the date for the exam.. ????

Dude wat i have heard... my friends who got through INDIGO only recommend me to study Oxford ATPL !!!! if ur done with it i guess ur good !!!!

Best of luck !!

[Vasu Gupta]

@blackhawk777-

I have not transferred d money yet...will b doing it in a day or so...

Thanx 4 d info.

[dragstar]

I still haven't received the email asking to transfer 375$. Hoping to get it today.

and yeah even I am keen to know where else to study from besides oxford. since it doesn't seem to be the only source for examination questions.
and heard from people who cleared previous assessments that there are no questions on Jet Engines. just wanted to confirm if that going to be the case this time too.

[BradPitt]

"I have received an e-mail from Ms Huria regarding CAE exams. I have no idea how and what to study ? I am sick and tired of studying oxford and cant do it more. Help me guys .....!!!!!!!":ugh:

Start reading "Chacha Choudary" that might help. BTW if you dont know "Chacha Choudary" he is Indian version of Homer Simpson but little intelligent one.

I failed to understand what kind of help you are looking for, I mean be little more specific. Choose one option or all
a. I cann`t study coz I have wandering mind
b. What is real wander
c. I dont like Oxford give me cambridge.
e. I shouldn`t have recieved the letter coz I am sick and tired

[Vasu Gupta]

@Bradpitt

What kind of jack ass are you..?? I am stressed out here regarding the exams and asking for some help. If you can't do it or if you have nothing better to do in your life then go read Champaks and your preferred Chacha Chaudhary.

What I meant was that I am done with oxford books and if some smart people(obviously except a MORON like you) could suggest me with some other topics or books I could refer to which could sail me through the exams.

Hoping for no other blockheaded replies from your side.

[BradPitt]

Ohh buddy, you just got vitriolic their. Didn`t you!! It was all in good humor, which I guess you took it little personal.:=
Ohh regarding stress, learn to handle it better, but again who am I to say that, isn`t it.:oh:

Good luck with your stress and studies buddy:ok:

[blackhawk777]

In case everyone is done with the Oxford ATPL stuff... Instead of going with the "CHAMPAKS" and " CHACHA CHAUDHARY".......

Try your hands on the book by Keith Williams...
The name of the book is 1000 Q & A on General Navigation.... Performance... Principle of Flights..... etc etc....

Heard its a good book !!!
(Let me also know if u get a copy online... Searched toooo hard for it... No luck !!)

[dragstar]

@blackhawk777

Dude I tried looking for torrents but didn't find anything.

You can order them online from EBS in case you choose to pay.

Does one need IR-Current for the Indigo assessment??

[love2fly8510]

@bradpitt & vasu gupta:
when did u get the mail regarding CAE exam??///??
im so worried as i haven't got the mail yet....i wish i get one.....

[love2fly8510]

@vasu @bradpitt and al of u...who hav got the call

wen did u guys get the mail regarding dec attempt???
im stil waitin fr call letter...tried callin Ms.Parul..i even mailed her but no response....any suggestions regarding wht to do???

[blackhawk777]

@Dragstar

I don't know about the IndiGo requirement... But am pretty sure that your IR needs to be current if u are going for a Type Rating at CAE.. Please call them and confirm.

@ love2fly

Sorry to say buddy i was in the same situation during all the previous attempts.. And yes they don't pick up the cals... Try ur luck mailing them and calling again & again. May be u'll get the mail if they are still sending mails .. :ok:

[FlyingManutd]

You dont need current IR ...all you need is being rated as ME IR ( it should be typed on ur Indian CPL )...You will get Rating from CAE on DGCA based syllabus with line with Indigo's SOP .

Dont confuse yourself and others regarding current status of License...

[FlyingManutd]

This link would bring some help .

http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far-east/412718-cae-indigo-recruitment.html

[blackhawk777]

@ FlyingManutd

Try sending a mail to CAE Madrid asking them details of A320 Type Rating Program. And the reply u'll get.... This would be a part of it !!!!

All courses offered at our centre are in accordance with the DGCA specifications and are currently available to holders of an Indian CPL.

In order to undergo type-rating training, the pilot must fulfil the following requirements:

Commercial Pilot License (CPL) valid till end of the course;
Multi Engine, Instrument Rating (IR) valid till end of the course;
Class I medical must be current;
Fluency in English.



I read the mail sent by Indigo for the assessment and it says only IR rating endorsed.
Thats the reason I told him Please Cal and Confirm

And if u read the link posted by u properly... there is a small NOTE which says
" Licence must be valid at all times "

I hope u know wat it means !!!

Take Care.

[cyrilroy21]

Is it true that to get an NOC from the dgca to do the type rating you need your multi IR to be valid ?

[love2fly8510]

thanks blackhawk777

[FlyingManutd]

@blackhawk777

You will get this reply not only from CAE madrid but from CAE UAE/ or for that matter any other TRTO (FAA or JAA....)
Why because you are going for self sponsored TR from TRTO which is following some certain regulation provided by respected regulator( Incase of CAE madrid >> Spanish CAA which follows JAA rules ).IF you try some TRTO of USA ...they would also follow up with same response.

But while going for TR under CAE Indigo partnership...all you are doing is getting a new rating with IR as per norms laid down by DGCA ...and Airbus has laid down certain procedure and requirements for getting typed on 'Bus which has >> ME land time and IR( on SE or ME...any...need not be current but should be vaild)..its only regulators that have add some addon requirements...

Now going by your post ..it seems that you got rolled over by term "VALID" and CURRENT are two different terms...

CAE had send this content since the start of assessment in april to over 400 guys who gave test for it had IR lapsed by more than 2 years and out those lapsed guys....few of lucky ones are right now in Madrid ....but if you still got doubts then walk down to Indigo's office and have a chat with Operation Dept....or keep trying CAE numbers....

That link has many similar queries with proper answers.
In short you dont need CURRENT IR.....

FMU

[capt.xyz]

Current IR is not required , earlier in April attempt it was their requirement but after May 28 , they changed the age limit as well as the current IR requirement , now u just need to have Multi Ir endorsed on ur CPL , when CAE starts the sim session , IR is renewed in the A320 sim itself in the first session and the DGCA requirement is done!
:ok:

[bombayhues]

Capt XYZ is absolutely correct. Only the ME IR is required to be endorsed on the license. The IR is not required to be current!

[wings on fire]

I got the 1st mail on the 3rd and still hav'nt got the payment mail:confused:.Any one else who's sailing on the same??

:Bingo!!!!!Cheers LOFT:D
It will be highly appreciated if u can solve it here in details

[Pradeep747]

Q2.De Compression Sickness is related with
1. Henry's Law
2. Dalton Law

[Aviator4u]

Hey guys,hv a small doubt..wot is the accuracy of DME acc to ICAO standards,is it 0.25nm+1.25% of range or (.5 or 3% of range)??

[Pradeep747]

I believe its 0.5Nm or 3% which ever is higher

[Pradeep747]

@LOFT-U r right again.Guys every body post some question also...
Q3.What are frangible objects?

[LOFT]

DME Accuracy is + - 0.2nm as per the latest ICAO Annex ;
( and 0.25 nm + 1.25 % of range for older aircraft, older than 1989)

Frangible = brakeable (easily broken)

:ok:

[Vasu Gupta]

@aviator4u-

it is .25nm 1.25%if u go by oxford and .5nm 3% if u go by GSP. I'll rather prefer oxford over GSP at this stage. :ok:

@pradeep747-

objects which tend break into fragments if deformation force applied.:ok:

CHEERS..!!

[Vasu Gupta]

How does leading and trailing edge flaps affect critical angle of attack ?

[Vasu Gupta]

Why is Vmcg determined with nosewheel steering disconnected ??:ugh:

[LOFT]

Disengaging the Nosewheel Steering provides a wet runway simulation.
:ok:

[Vasu Gupta]

@LOFT-

What about my previous ques.?

[Pradeep747]

Leading edge flaps Increases critical AOA and trailing edge reduces critical AOA

[LOFT]

Basically you can pitch up higher when using the Leading edge devices and lesser with the Trailing edge flaps in comparison to the Clean configuration.
:ok:

[kinko]

Nice work guys....btw..all these questions being posted from oxford??

[wings on fire]

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

1.71
1.49
2.49
0.74

Request u to put up an explained answer.

[yogesh.dhumale]

file:///C:/Users/yogesh/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-7.jpgfile:///C:/Users/yogesh/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-8.jpg

[yogesh.dhumale]

the answer is 1.71
heres the explanation well its another example hope it helps u
Example 1.
An aeroplane is flying straight and level with a coefficient of lift of 0.55. The coefficient of lift
increases by 0.08 per degree increase in angle of attack. If a vertical gust increases the angle of
attack by 3º, what is the load factor?
Since the vertical gust increased the angle of attack by 3º the coefficient of lift will have increased
by 0.24 (0.08 x 3), and the new coefficient of lift is 0.79 (0.55 + 0.24). Since the coefficient of lift
and lift are proportional to the load factor the new load factor is 0.79/0.55 = 1.44. The new load
factor is therefore 1.44 and if the question had asked for the increase in load factor this would be
0.44.
Example 2
What is the percentage increase in lift if the angle of attack increases by 4º due to a vertical gust.

[euindkan]

@ wings on fire
Let's assume lift is propotional to CL since other factors are not changing

Load factor = lift(produced at that instant/ wing loading/ wt
Here let's call AOA as variable 'x' fr simplicity

CL= k*x. k is a constant for all other variables which are nit changing like wing area, density etc

0.42=k*x
0.52=k*(x+1)

When AOA changes by 3 deg equation becomes
CL=k*(x+3)

Substitue values frm above equation n get CL= 0.72 when gust is experienced.

Now go back to st n level condition

Load factor=1
that means wt= lift in this case which is 0.42

Load factor in gust= lift(in gust)/ wt(which is constant)

Load factor = 0.72/0.42
= 1.71

Cheers

[Maverick2167]

@ wings on fire
Hi.... Have you got the payment mail yet,,? .... i got the first mail on 3 DEC too and haven't got any reply yet :sad:

[wings on fire]

Thanks for the help guys:)
@Maverick:I got the payment mail about an hour ago!!

[capt.xyz]

anyone got the payment conformation or the hall ticket mail yet?

[kinko]

guys are all these questions from oxford??

[Pradeep747]

@kinko-not all r from oxford

4. In what way is the longitudinal stability affected by the degree of positive camber of the aerofoil?

[cobra24]

@pradeep
specify the airfoil you are talking about

in case of wings ... the longitudinal stability would decrease
in case of horizontal stabilizer/elevator ... long. stability would increase

[Pradeep747]

answer is No effect because camber of the aerofoil produces constant pitch down moment independent of AOA

[Pradeep747]

Q-An aeroplane performs a steady horizontal turn with a TAS of 200 kt. The turn radius is 2000 m. The load factor (n) is approximately:
a)1.1
b)1.4
c)1.8
d)2.0

It says answer is 1.1

[kinko]

@pradeep747-could you check your inbox

[euindkan]

Firtst find out the angular velocity of the aircraft.
Angular velocity(omega)= V(TAS)/r(radius)

Take proper units . You will get omega in radians/sec.
Now convert that into degrees//sec and you will get 3deg/sec.

That means rate one turn. So find angle of bank by 10%TAS+7.

Now load factor= 1/cos(angle of bank)
L=1.1


Cheers

[flying rocks 320]

i doubt if such question would come... its an examnination for the freshers

[dynamiteflyers]

Absolutely!!!

[Pradeep747]

Thank u very much Euindkan..its so simple and i was taking it big and faltered.

@flyrock& Dynamite- Expect these kind of question and these are the question which is going to make u clear the exam and remember they are not looking us as freshers but as future AIRLINE PILOTS(sorry if i am hard & pl come out the freshers shell) and that was a simple q which needs little thinking(Of course i dint do it),still i hunted for the answer and got it...

[Vasu Gupta]

What are the basic elements transmitted by NAVSTAR/GPS satellites?
offset of the satellite clock from GMT
i ephemeris data
ii health data
iii ionospheric delays
iv solar activity

A) i, ii, iv
B) ii, iii, iv
C) i, ii, iii, iv, v
D) i, ii, iii

[Vasu Gupta]

In relation to the satellite navigation system NAVSTAR/GPS, "All in View" is a term used when a receiver:

A)is tracking more than the required 4 satellites and can instantly replace any lost signal with another already being monitored

B) is receiving the signals of all visible satellites but tracking only those of the 4 with the best geometric coverage

C) requires the signals of all visible satellites for navigation purposes

D) is receiving and tracking the signals of all 24 operational satellites simultaneously


Are these kind of questions expected..?

[blackhawk777]

You have altered the question. But not given correct options.....

Correct Answer : Offset of the satellite clock from GMT, Ephemeris Data and Ionospheric Delay.

[Vasu Gupta]

Which of the following statements is correct concerning the principle behind the correction of one of the NAVSTAR/GPS satellite navigation system errors by the transmission of the signals on two frequencies (L1 and L2)?

A)The effect of receivers noise can be reduced due to the interference of both frequencies

B)The influence of shadowing on the GPS signals is proportional to the inverse of the carrier frequency squared

C)The path delay of the signals in the earth atmosphere is proportional to the inverse of the carrier frequency squared

D)The effect of signal reflections (multipath effect) can be reduced due to the interference of both frequencies

Dear Indigo Applicants,

Good luck once again on getting the letter and all d best for the d-day!
just wondering , considering the level of difficulty on different aspects involved in these Indigo selection tests, what amount of studying and how much vastness /level of knowledge would one grade fair to even attempt to guarantee success?

The comparison can be done on the basis of knowledge one might have from
1.DGCA/ ICAO exams?
2.CPL or ATPL level complexity?
3.Performance (a/c loading etc.) or just Plain -cpl -level navigation knowledge
reqd?
4.Compared to other airline exams , where would you rate Indigo's test at ?

Your response ( especially from previous takers of the tests / experienced pilots / applicant who've experienced diff tests at diff. levels ) would be highly appreciated.
(Only serious comments plz.)

Thanks for your time,
CR:ok:

Greetings Everyone,

Could anybody shed some light on how long will the entire procedure of written, Psychometry, IQ, Group discussion and interview take?

When would anyone know if they have been selected?
What happened in the previous recruitment? how long did it take?
Besides does the LOI garuntee a job after type rating or another "kingfisher" could happen here too?

Thanks

[love2fly8510]

@dragstar
Thank u soo much....:)

[kinko]

any mail on the venue and date guys?

[dynamiteflyers]

Negative!!!!!

[bleedthesky]

@ ZeeZoo

no ... a letter of intent doesnt give u a job guarantee ...

it merely states their intention to hire you ...

cant say another KF might not happen ...

but if it does, it'll be on a very smalll scale

and u might get a mail early nxt week ... it takes bout a week to process all the applications ...

a friend of mine who appeared for the april attempt told me this ...

hope this helps ... cheers :ok:

[phul_tempo]

Were calculators and CX2 allowed in the previous attempts.

And what about topics like- EFIS, inertial navigation, ADC . do they touch these ones too

[ZeeZoo]

@bleedthesky..

Thanks a lot... could you also find out as to how much time the whole process from written.. to the end of interview results take..

say if written was conducted today.. and one clears all rounds and the interview... when would u know u've made it.. time frame...?

Blue Skys!!

[kinko]

anyone dates and venue confirmation out as yet??

[bombayhues]

@ ZeeZoo: The last batch had their written exam on the 19th/20th of July and where told of the final results, post interviews, on the 15th of Sept. As for the batch before that. They had their written on the 2/3rd of June and were told the final results on the 9th of July.

Hope that helps

[ZeeZoo]

@bombayhues..

So do u mean to say that it'll take more than a month to know whether u've made it or not...

Do u guys realise that in such a case, one does not start training before march.. because of slot availability and blah blah blah and doesnt finish before april end.. so you wont "join" before May and lets not even talk about getting online...

God Bless Us Everyone!!

[bleedthesky]

so .....

did anyone get a hall ticket and a date yet???

[dragstar]

@bleedthesky (http://www.pprune.org/members/338834-bleedthesky)

no hall ticket as of now.

@ZeeZoo
The 2nd/3rd June batch finished their type rating last month but haven't signed employment letters till now.
and the 19th/20th July batch will be leaving for type rating next week.

So it could take anywhere between 2-4 months for you to know if you've made the cut. another 1-2 months for you to leave for type rating.
Looking at almost a year till you get online. The time line could change depending on Indigo's urgency to hire.

[flyingcoffin]

anyone who has gone through CAE - Indigo and got into Indigo? Personally i havnt come across anyone who has gone through CAE- Indigo and joined Indigo i know a guy who went to CAE by himself and is now flying with Indigo. The CAE indigo people who have come back are still waiting and these were the june batch i suppose and the next batch is yet to go for the TR. I don no if there are already people in the tube why is Indigo - CAE coming up with another test. Any info from insiders would help..

[koolchaos3188]

I guess they are getting them ready for the delivery of 16 a/c between now and end of 2011. and they have short listed 15 international destinations it wants to connect, including Dubai, Bangkok, Singapore, Kathmandu, Jeddah, the Maldives, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

[blackhawk777]

Dear Applicant,

You are invited for the CAE IndiGo assessment as per the following schedule:

[flyingcoffin]

Pilots who have submitted application to DGCA for conversion, need to submit copy of the application form.

Din know that they were entertaining pilots for the written test, who are not in possession of Indian License.

Not discouraging anyone, i would srsly advise only ppl who hav contacts to go through the CAE thingie and spend $30,000 + . Rather than this get a A-320 somewhere else and apply...(at least you will save time)

I am also told (rumor) tht only people with some contacts are being called for the test. That is the reason there is such a hue and cry because a lot of people haven't even got the call....

[aviator_hyd]

only people with some contacts are being called for the test

Well wouldn't totally agree with u.. but its evident ht obviously people with contacts will always have an advantage over the ones that don't.

Imagine the condition of the Airlines, they are constantly being called by the big honchos and politicians, asking them to favor their candidate and select him/her and its not just limited to cockpit cew.. The airlines also have no other way but to listen to them cause in the future they would need the same person for their benefit, so its kinda give and take!!! cant help it..

[Maverick2167]

Got the mail for the test.....I just hope everything is Fair And Square.. :(

[kinko]

guys...pls do post questions after the test to help the others who are taking them in the following attempts!!
would be much appreciated!

[dragstar]

My hall ticket says-

Date: 23rd Dec,2010 Reporting Time: 9:30 AM
Exam Time: 10:00AM to 12:00 AM
Venue: The Parkland, Kalkaji

Anyone else taking the exam at the same time?
It would be really nice of people taking the exam on the 20th -22nd to post questions or topics. would be great help.

[37thousandfeet]

Has anyone here got call letter with IR lapsed..?

[Scoobydon]

hey , I received a letter on 14th regarding the exam on 21st then again i received a mail from radhikah that, plz ignore the previous mail and wait for the next.

then again after 2 hours, i received another hall ticket- same date same venue....ditto as previous.

does anybody over here with the same experience.

Yes if u read the line where she asks for all the documents that are to brought, u would notice that initially they allowed even those guys who had submitted their docs for conversion, but now they have removed that line and your license is required on the day.

[dragstar]

@Scoobydon

Both letters are not the same. The below mentioned line has been removed from the second letter.
Pilots who have submitted application to DGCA for conversion, need to submit copy of the application form.

[dynamiteflyers]

anybody got it on 20th??

[cobracommander]

nope, 21st here too!

Are calculators and cx-2 allowed for the exams?

Reply needed ASAP!

Guys please no backwaas talks on the reply!

Regards! The hall ticket no where mentions calculators or CX-2's, so I guess they are allowed. In the previous assessments people did carry calculators with them.

[epic787]

Thanks dragster!!

[IIJ]

I am sure that Cx2 and calci are allowed...guys plz post questions after the exam..!!Cheers
All the BEST>>!!!

[phul_tempo]

Nobody here with questions frm today's exam?

[Bommer]

Any idea what was todays paper like ?

[phul_tempo]

No inputs??
Heard 4 guys cleared today.

[deval_soni]

4 candidates cleared on 20th.

Pattern of the exam on 20th:

1) Human Performance = 12-15 ques.
2) Theory of Flight = Lot of questions of difficult standard.
3) Met = 5-6 ques
3) Regs = 8-10 ques
4) Flight Instruments = Around 10.
5) Radio aids = 10-12
6) Gen. Nav = Around 20


Met --> Met ques were not easy and they were based on JAA.
Eg. Mountain wave, Polar air mass, Freezing fog etc.

Regs --> Easy.
Eg. Transponder Codes, Airport signs, Interception signals.

Human Performance --> In-Depth Knowledge reqd.

Flight Instruments + Radio Aids --> ques were simple.

Gen. Nav --> 20% questions were tricky.

Theory of Flight --> 50% question were moderate and rest 50% question
were tough.

Good luck Guys.

[epic787]

Thanks deval soni for your info!

Can you tell us out of how many candidates 4 passed?

[phul_tempo]

Thanks a lot deval
How many guys appeared on 20th?

[deval_soni]

30 Candidates appeared in the exam.

[epic787]

How long they take to give the results?

Did they even checked all the candidates papers or just checked those 4 guys papers? :P

[amrit69]

Hey guys, was called last thursday by Parul, but still havent got my admission ticket so to speak. anyone with a similar problem?...im startin to panic!
P.S: Thanks devil soni,now we have an idea of the constitution of the paper as well as the toughness :hmm:

[phul_tempo]

Can someone throw light on today's paper and result

[deval_soni]

They are declaring result on the same day.

[Aviator4u]

5 outta 50 passed today...any questions frm yest or todays exam??

[dragstar]

Thanks for all the info on the exam. really appreciate the gesture.

what was the ratio of numerical and theoretical questions?

[deval_soni]

Around 15% numericals, rest theoretical.

[Oscalima]

Hey can anyone please tell how long does it take to know the results i.e by what time do they tell you the result..

[deval_soni]

Evening 6.30 PM

[sandysup]

Hi Deval,

Thanks for posting all the information about the exam. Just wanted to know a couple of things.

1. How do they declare the results? Are we reqd to stay back at the same venue? Or do they send an email with the result?

2. Also, was 2 hours good enough to solve all the 100 questions?

3. Was there any negative marking?

Cheers!

[deval_soni]

1) They announce the result on the same day around 6.30 pm at exam venue.

2) Times is limited, you need to solve paper very fast.

3) No negative marking.

[sandysup]

Thanks a ton!

Cheers
:ok:

[Krits]

Hey guys.

So I cleared the written(21st). I was wondering if anyone needed a study partner in Delhi or someone for discussions over the phone for the interviews.

Also, what should I expect from the English and CASS stages?

As for the written itself. Study the oxford books.

Numericals were easy. I don't remember much regs. Aeromedical was hard and I may have gotten through on a bit of a fluke.

[Avinash Chabra]

Hey Krits,

I hv my exam tomorrow. Can you pass on your email id or your contact no.? my email id is amivar01#gmail.com

Would really appreciate if you can share some questions from the exam.

Thanx

[Oscalima]

krits..

check your pm..

[dragstar]

was just doing some math.
about 150 people have taken the exam till now, out of which 17cleared.
CAE already made approx 375$ * 133= 49875$

Guys not trying to point fingers or make any point. its just an after thought.

[PT6A]

Your onto it dragster! It's just a money making gig set up by CAE.

Good luck guys!

For those who have cleared DGCA, nav,met n regs is pretty staright forward..but emphasize on human factors and aerodynamics(oxford jeppesen)..big time.. :rolleyes:

[cobra24]

any idea what to expect in the English test and CAAS ?

[deval_soni]

Yes, We request ppl to put some lights on English test and CASS.

[sandysup]

Guys,
The e-mail from CAE would have all the details about CASS and the English test.
So just wait..

[hawaijahaj]

Any idea when is the next recruitment process ??

[Scoobydon]

i know few ppls returnd back after completing TR from CAE madrid, and they failed the sim check by Indigo and rejected by the airline for further employment. such a bad news. after clearing such tough stages and spending another 16 lacs.....sounds like a nighmare. :ugh:

[bombayhues]

@Scoobydon: Thats not completely true. There weren't failed in the sim check. A few mistakes were committed during the check and the candidates have been told to give the check again. They will be absorbed soon!

[cobracommander]

there's no confirmation to this fact.
Anyway its a well known fact here by now that even a monkey with 'influence' is given the oppurtunity to take controls

[AMM88]

Pradeep747-'Leading edge flaps Increases critical AOA and trailing edge reduces critical AOA'

Leading edge flaps i.e. kreuger flaps have the same function as the trailing edge flaps,increase camber and chord.and hence increase CL max but reduce stalling AOA.But leading edge slats/slots increase AOA as well as CL max.The 'leading edge devices that LOFT mentioned were these slats and slots,.Please correct me if im wrong. :)

[AMM88]

Based on the indigo exam 23rd dec, a question -
If aircraft stalling speed is 74 kts, gross weight 6500 kg,what is the stalling speed with gross weigth 5000kg?
A)57
B)67
6)74
D)91

Now, the best i remember (from all those deadly days of pre indigo hard work and alll the topics we had to cover) stalling speed increases with increase in weight.I selected 57.But lot of people told me that the stalling speed (basic) is always the same as indicated on the airspeed indicator (Vs). So i started thinking,there are SO many variables that affect the stalling speed of the aircraft.For flaps they have Vs1,so then what abt the weight? Please Advise.

This may be an easy one,but sometimes its the doubts in the easy ones that might just surprise you.

[wings on fire]

@AMM88.
For the critical aoa....it increases when the leading egde devices such as slots,kruger flaps are deployed for the simple reason that wen they are deployed a small gap is created through which the air can flow over the wing thus re-energizing it and thus delaying separation(basic cause fr a stalled wing).
2.as for the 2nd question the stall speed varies with change in weight...the critical aoa doesnt.
the correct ans to that would be 67:74SQRT new wt divided by old wt...it comes to around 65...so 67 is the correct answer!!!

[AMM88]

@ wings on fire
Kreuger flaps are leading edge devices that serve the same purpose as the trailing edge flaps, and are different from slats.Slats are the ones that create slots for air to gush in..

Also,then why do we have a fixed basic stalling speed shown on the indicator?? Is that for a particular weight??

[Viraaj Shah]

Basic Stall Speed on the ASI is marked for: 1] Maximum Weight 2] Straight and level 3] Flaps Retracted 4] Zero Thrust.

Any changes in these factors changes the basic stalling speed. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks :)

[LOFT]

Does anyone know how the next rounds will be conducted.
Will the English & CASS Test be conducted on one day and the GD & Interview on the other day. Or will each test be on a separate day, in which case it will take pretty long time for all the candidates to be done with.

LOFT:ok:

[AMM88]

Max weight.thats what i was looking for :).

LOFT i know everyones impatient about the remaining assessments but u just have to probably wait and watch..for now you go enjoy your new years and let them enjoy theirs :).Btw any idea how many have cleared the knowledge test in total??

[deval_soni]

According to Parul, English and CASS test will be conducted on the same day .

[phul_tempo]

According to Parul, English and CASS test will be conducted on the same day .

Did she tell you this personally?

[Aviator4u]

@AMM88

[Krits]

What Metro line is that station on?

I'll be travelling from Gurgaon on the Yellow line.

[wings on fire]

@Krits.
Get off at Rajiv Chowk.

[LOFT]

Guys get down at Rajiv Chowk on Yellow Line. Change to Blue Line going towards Noida and get down at the First Station, Barakhamba Rd. Come out of Gate 6, cross the road and walk towards CP (on your right) , the Statesman Bldg will be on your left. Its a circular bldg and a Major Land Mark!

Any heads up on how the interview would be?


LOFT:ok:

[sandysup]

@ phul tempo: how was your english test, cass and the interview??

[cobra24]

as far as i know the interview is not on the same day as english and CASS ... right?

[phul_tempo]

English test is a piece of cake:cool:. 2 guys on each day, one goes for CASS other for english test, and then they swap.
CASS- just read the pdf thoroughly, thats all i have there.:ok:
and there would be one online questionnaire similar to what you must have filled recently.

[sandysup]

@ phul tempo - Thank you..and how about the interview.? What kind of questions were asked?
@Cobra 24 - You have an interview with CAE people as well, on the same day and then comes your final interview with Indigo management details about which would be communicated later.

[deval_soni]

Sorry to post it late.

I gave my stage 2 and stage 3 on 12th.

Four things we need to undergo :

1) Structured Interview conducted by Radhika and Parul.(Very casual interview just to know about us).

2) AVQ (Online questionaire to know abour our personality).

3) English (Consisting of three sections, very easy).

4)CASS (Physical Assessment Test, it was on tougher side).

Order of these processes are arbitary.


I really got screwd up in CASS. Lets see.

Whoever clear these stages, will be called for interview either on 31st, 1st or 2nd.

[sandysup]

Hi Deval,

[Oscalima]

Deval Soni

[tarmac]

guys can you post info on main forum, so that everyone can get some idea.

[livetokill22]

what exactly is the CASS (Physical Assessment Test)?

[deval_soni]

Hello ,

I have checked my PM's and have accordingly answered.

[deval_soni]

Hello livetokill22 (http://www.pprune.org/members/335303-livetokill22) ,

Physical assessment is CASS. in which we have to fly an combat a/c and do lot of activities altogether. Bascially , they check multi-tasking abilities.


Good luck to All.

[peeeprune]

Hello everyone, how is everyone doing, and are you all excited about results. They will be out pretty soon, once the cass sessions get completed. 29th Jan is tentative it might be out on 27th. Only the guys passing the cass will be sent the emails is what I have come to know.

Keep fingers crossed and keep studying, you might be called in at the last moment if the interview candidates don't hold up to the standard.

Goodluck to all.

[bombayhues]

@peeeprune

Everyone is sent an email and will be called for the interview. They interview will take a cumulative look at your performance with the CASS being given the maximum weightage!

[THE MIR]

When would be the next written exam for INDIGO-CAE ??? :confused::confused:

[SuperflyTNT]

I have applied for the IndiGo CAE A320 program and it has been about 6 months since. I haven't heard from them yet. There have been about 3-4 test/interviews being conducted since. How do I get myself to be invited to sit for the exam conducted by CAE. I have e-mailed parul on her work e-mail ID as well ([email protected]) . If anyone here knows any other way of being able to sit for the exams please do let me know. Thank you

[peeeprune]

@Bombayhues

As what i can see currently there will be some shortlisting done to call the candidates for the interview, because the mngmnt is pretty occupied. so only the candidates selected from the cass will be called for the interview. rest might be called later if the interviewed candidates are not found suitable.

@TNT

Have you tried sending a hardcopy of your cv by hand?
if not i suggest you try doing that, should help.

@mir

next intake is around april first week this year.

[SuperflyTNT]

@Peeprune

Thank you. Do you have the mailing address to where I can send my CV? I would appreciate it if you could pass it on to me. Thank you

[THE MIR]

Does indigo hire back door??:confused: if they do, can sum1 show me the door;)
pm me!!

[FlyingManutd]

Back door starts with your face infront of the Indigo's CEO's office door...and closes on your face....making you return with barren hand and sit alongside all others in queue of line for BACK DOOR entry....:p:p

[thearsenal]

@peeprune
is it reliable information that indigo is recruiting in april???

[phul_tempo]

I believe today is the last day for stage-2&3 assessments

[midnight cowboy]

@THE MIR

Get in touch with scums of society (henchmen of politicians, their PAs, local dons etc) and other pimps who can show you the backdoor.

Try to get in touch with your local MLA or MP and tell him you are willing to make some good "party donations" etc. in return for a favor. (recommendation for an airline job)

That's how it works.

If it were so easy to just ask for the entry through the backdoor and pay some money, everyone would be doing that right ?

[nishantgupta2009]

Any Idea when Indigo is planning to have its next assessment.
Please share some info.

[THE MIR]

Hi every1

I'm planning for a self sponsored TR on A320. My only problem is that I don't have a current multi IR:ugh:.I cant renew my IR here in India coz i have done it on BE 76 and we have non in India. What can i do about it?? According to the DGCA is multi IR actually required for TR A320http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/confused.gif ?
I have talked to the TRTO in Europe and they have no problem with a lapsed IR.

what can i do about it??
