Radio Altimeter errors
Mushing error : due to difference of height between transmitter and receiver aerial. Usually in climb or descend atitude.
Transmitter to receiver leakage : Leakage of RF energy between transmitter and receiver aerial across the surface of the airframe may cause noise or erroneous readings.
Signals reflected from undercarriage or other protruding surface may add to the error.
Multipath signal : Signal which reflects from the ground and then again reflected off the airframe and travels back to the ground for the second time and then enters the receiver. (Like Multihop in HF).
Some radio altimeter indicators show readings in increments of 5 feet. In that case there can be an error of 2.5 feet.

Any news for the people that gave the written exam on April 16, 17, 18 ? CASS dates or e-mail from either CAE/IndiGo ? How long do you reckon before they start calling people for CASS and the technical interview ?

None so far. The lot of pilots that finished their rating in Madrid in March-April are still waiting for their sim checks to be done. Earlier they were done within a month of them coming back to India. Hopefully there should be some progress in the coming months.

When will This Backlog Of Indigo clear ? .
Now all this backlog which was created mainly due to the Captains /FO's from KF transferring to 6E , should be cleared soon , since Indigo has even increased the a/c it will be receiving this year from 60 to 64 , and currently operating at a fleet 58 it means another 6 in next 6 months .
The only concern is , INDIGO may already have sufficient no. pilots for all these a/c's as well including people inducted though the Feb Type rated exam .
Now , Any clue , friends , When ACTUALLY will This Backlog Of Indigo clear ?
and more importantly ,
when to expect next 6E exam for freshers , if there would be any this year ?

The grim story about Indigo..
Hey Guys, just a note on this backlog since it was brought up here..
The intention is not to discourage but to let the public know of the dirty situation indigo has gotten about 120 type rated pilots into.
i am one of those type rated pilots who got in last year 2011 through the indigo exam and have been waiting for more that 9 months on the ground after type rating and there are about 90 pilots who are after my batch waiting after being type rated.. no exaggeration there as we have an forum on FB.
Basically the problem is that they have taken in more that 485 pilots in the past year inclusive of the KF guys,and whilst all this expansion, indigo being the very business minded LCC that it is has decided to take ppl like you me and everyone alike for a ride as all the investment is on us and they dont share any liabilities.
Indigo is an irresponsible Corporate money making airline which views pilots as numbers and not as people, which is clearly reflected by their callous attitude towards all of us..
they do not keep us informed and we havent heard from these idiots for the past 7 months .. do not reply to emails..do not pick our calls..quite a PATHETIC HR and hiring situation headed by that incumbent Capt.Patrick Singh!!
and to top all that they go ahead and advertise their On TIME policy which clearly is lacking in this case..!
Basically they have a commitment with CAE to send X number of students for a type rating and recieve a kick back from CAE..a commission if you will, so what indigo is doing right now is going ahead and sending hapless souls to get type rated irrespective of there being no demand for pilots whatsoever..as they have nothing to loose as we foot the bill via loans from banks who already have started knocking on our doors asking to pay back the money rightfully so ..
they are actually inducting once every 3 months which explains the HUGE backlog waiting and doing nothing .. ive lost abt 15 months of my life since last year waiting fro this heartless, conscious-less airline which simply doesnt care as to what happens to its pilots.
So ppl writing the exam now will only get into the company post mid 2014..!! yes im serious..2014 as these guys show no inclination of hiring.. all of us are mere Tampons in the Managements eyes , stacked on a shelf to plug a leak in the no of pilots if anyone decides to go out to different airlines opening up, a sort of back up if you will..
All our LOIs have been renewed as they couldnt accomodate the hiring .. a case of pathetic planning and paltry execution..!!
if you do have any other airlines you can get into , please do get in immediately.. get your hours there and then join indigo as then they would favour you .. if not then go join the club of unemployed, type rated, anxious, under informed pilots who have been taken for a ride by the Greedy Corporation headed by Capt.Salim Zaheer (VP flight Ops ) who basically doesnt give a **** as the company sweeling with pride is winning awards after awards.
All that is well and good now as these awards are only an indication of the past and present while Indigo is ruining its future by demoralising willing , responsible able pilots who have been caught in this mess.
i know that the management ppl read PPRUNE, so all id like to say is .. go on Indigo , be proud , be arrogant revelling in your short lived success and build a dark future by treating pilots like objects, do not inform us anything and ignore our calls..when you face the same fate as AI ,KF and the rest , then we'll shall see who's going to ignore calls and just not report to work ..
u know what they say about Pride right..that it goes before DOWNFALL!

Indigo needs to take care of it's Pilots (to be ) .
It is indeed disheartening to know these facts and the really unethical side of the airlines , Indigo to be precise here , due which the pilots are made to go through a strenuous mental fatigue , which can be avoided .
Indigo needs to take care of it's Pilots (to be ) . , coz soon they will Be and then they might want to have just their say and in only their way
@Dexter320 and @greatdanemike : friends you people have already had a lot of nuisance from 6E , and surely it is just a matter of time that you guys start reaping fruits of your hard work . Wishing YOU ALL THE Best
happy landings
and hopefully sooner than later somebody will open their eyes and things within 6E shall get better for pilots and pilot recruitment shall also take a positive graph upward , but for that to happen 6E management need an eye opener may be ,
and thus there should be and end to The grim story about Indigo.. and hopefully a new beginning for all pilots at 6E and All Indigo Aspirants

oh bhai polaris.. kyun bechare logo ko daraa raha hai... Plz dont spread rumours if you are not sure of it. It may make them lose hope & disheartened..
achhi achhi baatein kia karo yaar... jis se thodi hope bhi mile
Indigo is working on it & they are trying to fix the things up..
dont lose hope..& we dont have any other option as well.. so why not go to optimistic side & pray for somethin good..
it may take time but it will happen....
Cheer up

Currently there are around 150 guys waiting to be inducted(CAE + Sabena cadets + Self TR) and with an induction rate of around 16-17 every 3 months you can well imagine the waiting period.
I would really be surprised if there are anymore inductions this year including guys waiting for their CASS results.
This over staffing was a very conscious attempt by Indigo(although the KF tide was a pleasant surprise for the management itself) to get the pilots right now when they are easily available and incur minimal induction costs than wait for the time when hiring picks up across the entire sector and you have to fight over prospective employees.
So unless you are a highly experienced bus captain or a TRE/TRI, you are not very welcomed at 6E.

2 Airlines are going to start up soon. Both with A320's.
They will surely need experienced people. They will have to come from somewhere.
Also with upgrades happening @ Indigo FO requirement only increases.
Backlog is big! Yes! But will clear soon.
Should hire by Dec/Jan.
