If you study hard, there's no reason to fail.

Devil

in FAA,JAA,EASA all r provided question bank by reading all pass the exam and they have to study there own country books but we have to study both FAAandCAA books and also not provided question bank and questions r also sometime out of syllabus .and after this all then some one can tell he need determination or what because by saying like this it is simple and to do acctully that work is diffrent.

All joking aside shuchim - are you touting for work on here?

Are you seriously proposing that Indian LAE's are the best in the world with their most difficult exams ever, ever, ever?

If your study material is CAA/JAA/FAA based - you don't need to be provided with answers to a question bank (who is BTW? - you think the CAA give us any?), the internet (that you are clearly happily using) is chock full of answers to all Q banks.

Passing exams is about 20% of being an accomplished LAE. Your still at the bottom of a steep learning curve when the ink is still wet on your shiney new pass paper.

I'm struggling to be impressed by this boastful, childish post.

shuchim,

I'm an australian LAE and although i havn't done any Indian exams i have worked with a few Indian LAE's and they all lack on aussie guys. One guy i worked with couldn't even open a 744 door from outside although he was licenced on the A/C.

Another gent i work with now was doing the exams you speak of and came to OZ because he refused to pay the bribe to pass. He is a smart man and is now Licenced on 744, but told me he couldn't pass your exams because he didn't pay to!

Having our CASA lining up with EASA and JAR i find it extremely hard to believe you can make a statment like that. We don't get exam Questions at all, and most GA guys have to study text to pass.

i dont mean to say that the indians r best engineers in world.i just want to tell that exam prepare to judge there knowledge r maken so hard that is of no need and only practicle is thing that matter and that what DGCA lack to judge like empire tell about one engineer cant open the outside bolt that where DGCA lack. but the other guy who said he cant pay the bribe is rubbish there is no such thing. and about CAA some one said that you join a site(i forgot the name)and u will get all question of session.

I remember when i did my BCARS Sec L's, we were never given any questions by the training school. We had to compile our own question banks. Our written passing rates were so good that even the training school compiled our question banks. During trainings things were on a need to know basis but after getting my ticket, most of what i learned on a need to know basis before, now became a good to know basis.

There are many things that makes a person good at what he/she does and passing difficult exams is not top of the list. Exams are just like firewalls only to be broken down in time. What counts most is attitude,common sense, responsible and great sense of humor.

cmon folks the guy said the exam was hard not that indians engineers are better. I took and passed the Faa exam with flying colours. And to be honest, I thought that was the easiest thing I have done my whole life. The FAA basicaly gives you all the answers to the exam. The practical is easy too. Does that make us FAA license holder less competent than the rest of the world???

ya that what i mean to say what jnignon saying that exam dont make good engineers but the thing is that why dont theDGCA be same as FAAorJAA make paper easy that because he might want to make his reputation as toughtest.as u may also see in pilot cpl paper indian exam is consider difficult than other country exam except the CASA.if u see indian technician r much more better than engineers in practicle but it doesnt matter if u dont have paper pass with u.and if paper made easy technician can be best enginer

some of the EASA course was tough for me, MOD 3 (electrics) being 1 of them, its all magic to me!! still managed to get 90% mind

you don't really start learning untill you get on the job, the course is just a fundamental thing to help you get a foot in the door, although it does count as part of experiance.

there does seem to be a fair ammount of disdain for people who get into the industry this way on this site though, i think most people here were either appos or ex RAF. i'm pretty sure that if there was the ammount of aprentice scheems running today as there was a few years ago we would all have done it that way.

Indian Engineers

Have just done 6 months in India and I can say that the local engineers in my location did not do a lot of work or have much knowledge,it was more a case of shouting at the technician and only getting the hands out of the pocket to sign tech log...............
The DGCA in same location were a bunch of clowns as well.

Not saying all Indian Engineers are bad but its difficult to find really good ones,suspect all the good ones went overseas to ME.............

Im glad the CAA still have the high standards and a respected AML across the world, even with the changes implemented by EASA I still think they are policing it the best they can to a section L level.

Making exams easier anywhere in the world is an outrageous suggestion, get in the books for longer and study harder, there is no shortcuts to learning standard practices and maintaining aircraft in the correct way.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
