The exam is very much real and its happening on the 28th Feb. The next attempt could be somewhere in last week of april it seems or may be sooner than that. so just prep up and keep a watch on it.

@ bombayhues
are you very sure that there is no need of NOC for the Indigo Cae programme candidates.... although parul has not mentioned anything regarding the NOC till now in any of the convos.

ok some basic practice questions which i can think of right now:

increase in flaps will cause v2 to increase, decrease or remain unchanged.

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

how does change in altitude affect specific fuel consumption(sfc) - increase, decrease, remains constant.

what is the best air:fuel ratio by weight for jet engines

at which point or region of a jet engine is the pressure at its highest

For a given aerofoil, the AOA which results in a stall:
(a) remains constant regardless of bank, load or TAS
(b) varies directly with the degree of bank
(c) varies with the speed of airflow around aerofoil

The stall speed of an aircraft will increase with:
(a) decrease in the load factor
(b) increase in the pitch attitude for straight and level
(c) increase in the all up weight of the aircraft


The three axis of an aircraft intersect at the:
(a) centre of pressure
(b) centre of gravity
(c) midpoint of the datum line

When approaching the stall, the separation point
(a) always stays in the same position
(b) moves rearward
(c) moves towards the transition point

The primary function of the rudder, while entering a turn from straight-and-level flight, is to:
(a) overcome yaw caused by lowered aileron on higher wing
(b) overcome yaw caused by lowered aileron on lower wing
(c) overcome yaw caused by raised aileron on higher wing

An aircraft is in a state of equilibrium in:
(a) a steady rate 1 turn
(b) in a steady climb
(c) during take off

Adverse aileron yaw is reduced by the use of:
(a) vortex generators
(b) frise type ailerons
(c) boundary layer fences

Flying near high ground or mountains with winds in excess of 15km, you can expect strong turbulence and down draughts. What would you do to avoid damaging the aircraft and / or loosing control?
(a) maintain your heading and speed
(b) slow down to manoeuvring speed
(c) slow down to manoeuvring speed and fly upwind of ridge

On a cold, clear, humid night with a light wind, radiation fog will form. What might form when the wind picks up to 15kts?
(a) dew
(b) frost
(c) stratus

Which clouds are the least likely to produce airframe icing?
(a) middle cloud
(b) high cloud
(c) vertical development cloud

Please Correct me if I am wrong..

Quote:

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

how does change in altitude affect specific fuel consumption(sfc) - increase, decrease, remains constant.(increase in alt. will dec. the amount of thrust reqd. for a jet engine, so less fuel flow to the engin)e

what is the best air:fuel ratio by weight for jet engines
varies from 15:1(can vary)?

at which point or region of a jet engine is the pressure at its highest
the high pressure compressor?

For a given aerofoil, the AOA which results in a stall:
(a) remains constant regardless of bank, load or TAS

(c) slow down to manoeuvring speed and fly upwind of ridge(not sure about flying upwind)

On a cold, clear, humid night with a light wind, radiation fog will form. What might form when the wind picks up to 15kts?
(c) stratus
