Show Off lol.. Jk.. Anywayz congrats mate

[UMANGPILOT]

Guys help please!

I got a uk RT Licence in May 2008 and Indian RTR(C) after clearing Part 1 in Sept.'08 which is valid till Sept. 2011.
1.Do I need to take the Part 1 again to get my RTR(C) valid for 20years?
2.or as my uk RT has 2017 validit...y I don't need to take Part 1 exam again, just pay the renewal fee and get it... valid for 20years
please reply asap!

@umangpilot
i got an e-mail from you too sorry i won't be able to help you out on that, i have a lifetime RTR(A) license, so i'm not sure what the rules concering RTR(C) are
the wpc department has always been a tough nut for me to crack, took me 4 attempts to pass it, and eventually when i pay rs. 10,000/- for a lifetime license, they issue me the RT without the validity date on there (2069, 2070 or whatever year was supposed to be on there), leaving me to wonder if tomorrow either dgca or the wpc department refuse to accept it as a lifetime license because of their own carelessness, anyone here have a solution to this?
anyway, coming back to your question, my solution would be to go for RT classes to someone reputed such as MK singh (to whom i went to after failing 3 times with my own study and passed the first attempt with him), and re-take both part 1 and part 2, pay rs. 10,000/-, and get yourself a lifetime license as well it's a long-term solution and the tough way out to pass both parts, but atleast you won't have to worry about renewal ever again, i only hope they don't forget to put the validity date on your license like they did for me good luck!

Umm from wherever you cleared.. if you live in the same place.. just go to their office.. and try and ask them.. I had to go there myself in Mumbai to get it done..

[aroumika]

@sudeep6258
thanks a ton dude, yep same place for me too - mumbai! glad to know i'm not the only one for whom they left out the validity date
it kinda irks me when i go onto the dgca site to look up my license records, and there's a date for everyone else's RT license expiry, and a blank space for mine is it the same blank space on your records on the dgca site too? hopefully i get it fixed soon

[aroumika]

someone here confirm that rate of descent = descent gradient (in degrees) * ground speed * 100 whole divided by 60, and similarly rate of climb = climb gradient (in degrees) * ground speed * whole divided by 60 as well? anyone with a different formula than this?

[harsh786techy]

Its TAS instead of GS..

[superdunkaroos]

^^
No its not...

[aroumika]

@harsh786techy
definitely can't be TAS because rate of descent and climb depends on the a/c speed with relation to the ground distance covered, hence ground speed

[dhruv200]

its not gradient..it's approach slope angle or glide slope angle...

ROD= G.S.A X 100 X G.S/60

[planeboy_777]

@ aroumika

What logic are you applying girl......
(i presume) you must have noticed that During climb or descend the ROC remains constant no matter its head wind or tail wind ..
still not understood i'll explain you with the help of formulae

ROC(ft/min)= TAS(kts) x Gradian%

i.e for if you remember 5 times the ground speed gives ROD in ILS approach
that 5 is 5.2% gradient...we use ground speed in because we have to descend to a point on earth which is fixed
so
ROC(fpm)= GS([[fixed]] for each type of aircraft) x Gradient%(which is for obvious 5.2% 3 degrees of G/Slp

now you are climbing 3000ft to 10000ft "IN AIR" which is not a fixed point on the earth as i mentioned it earlier for ILS.

So it's again
ROC(fpm)=TAS X Gamma(%)

now lets clear your doubt regarding Hdwind and tailwind
in headwind
ROC = TAS (decreases) x gamma (increases)

in tailwind
ROC = TAS (increases) x gamma (decreases)

so ROC is already compensated for winds except for ILS approaches and calculating Glide speed

if you have any then please try to fill these concepts in your brains

Better for you
Better for us.

[sudeep6258]

make a new id.. but then aroumika gets quick responses haahah

[aroumika]

hate to break it to everyone but i'm a guy, on the good side i get my response rather quick as mentioned earlier, good luck to everyone!

@planeboy_777
i obviously had a doubt about it so i asked, but thanks for the detailed explanation anyway, appreciate it

[sudeep6258]

Best of Luck to everyone whose giving the exam today.. ahh I got my date on 18th Any-one from here on for 18th?

[DJ Flyboy]

TNT..i didnt get the hall ticket too..it seems we wont be called this time..i know another person on this forum who didnt get it either..their may be a small chance of getting the hall ticket even now but i doubt it.

[sudeep6258]

err.. Dude.. Mail them or call them.. They will surely call you..

[Torque Skylon]

@ tntnitro and DJ Flyboy are you guys from Mumbai, or from Delhi and the exams are only in Delhi or any other place.
And at what time is the exam today??

[harsh786techy]

those of you who have not got any hall ticket should not expect any for this exam.

[pilot in progress]

did any1 clear todays exam...well i didnot get a chance to ryt this tym but have got a mail from cae stating will give u an oppurtunity in future...hopefully i get it..


plz guys help me with the format of wat they ask in exam...do they ask atpl stuff as well as what jet asked in their last conducted exam....

would it(indigo exam) be tougher than jet exam...
