Guys thanks a ton for your response and the questions here , they should help a lot of people .

Just wondering if any one who got through the indigo attempt this time on any of the 5 days is a contributor in thread ?
Just curios considering such a low number of candidates have passed .

[pilot.batwing]

Great Job by Adityaslg and Djflyboy

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to say we really appreciate all u r work.

I haven't attended the Indigo Exam this time, since i was busy preparing for the SIA interviews.

I will certainly contribute whatever I can when i appear for the Indigo exam, whenever it is held.

Thank you very much once again.

Regards,
The Caped Crusader

[Aditya Sharma]

QB2

Thanks alot brother really appreciate your move ,,This is going to be very helpfull for people like me who are preparing for indigo... thanks again god bless u

[THE_WING]

Gratitude..

@ adityaslg
@ sonsal (who'd posted a lot of questions about a month or two ago)

Thanks guys for sharing the questions.

[Pulkdahulk]

Hi, i had posted a month ago for answer keys to Oxford Book.

I got lots of help on PM for Piston Engines and I will say thank you so much.

I am still struggling for answer keys on Instrumentation Book 5 of the Oxford Series.

Please help or PM me.

Thanks

[cyrilroy21]

The answer key to the instrumentation book starts on page 23-51 or page 336/598

If you had downloaded the torrent you might find that page 23-52 is missing and contains answers from chapter 4 to chapter 11
In the book this page is omitted

Someone had uploaded the answer key earlier and i had made a copy of it

If anyone would like the copy of the missing page answer key pm me your email address and i will send it as a pdf file

Happy Studying

[aroumika]

this is completely unrelated to the forum subject, but i read somewhere in 'human factors and performance' of oxford, a question something like, "a pilot can fly (be allowed to fly) with bi-focal lens?" a) true b) false, and to my surprise the answer was "b) false"
does this imply that someone with both myopia (short-sightedness) and hyperopia (far-sightedness) cannot be declared medically fit to fly? does this vary according to the country or the fitness board, does dgca allow this? also does myopia and hyperopia help cancel each other out in any way?
i have myopia of -1 diopter, both eyes, and no hyderopia at all as of now, but it's still a cause of concern, especially after aging 20 years of now and plenty of flying, you never know what might happen, is eye-surgery for someone with both defects advisable?
can someone with good knowledge and a sure answer about this please shed some light on the topic as i couldn't find anything more regarding this in the oxford book, thanks!
P.S. - i am a guy unlike what my user name might suggest (which btw is a combination of my name and my sister's name), so someone writing back to me please don't address me as "girl", it makes me bang my head to a wall quite literally!

[Pulkdahulk]

hahahaha......last sentence was a good one...

Ok Cyril - Check your hotmail for the email..

cheers

[aroumika]

@Pulkdahulk
i have the same problem with those missing pages too, can you please e-mail the same to me? my e-mail is the same as my username and it's a hotmail account, thanks!

[Born2win]

Send indigo question bank

Hie can u plz send me indigo question bank n other indigo question if u hav
wil b very thankful

[thearsenal]

does any body have any idea as to how many people got through over the 5 days?

[aadityaslg]

@Born2 what?

Send indigo question bank
Hie can u plz send me indigo question bank n other indigo question if u hav
wil b very thankful

"HIE"

Brilliant first post!
Care to read the thread?

No "TXT" speak here..

Well I know 160 guys who were very/really/extremely thankful, so you can do away with you thankfulness and copy paste the QB in the thread.

[flyflyfly2me]

is cae planning to conduct exams in mumbai too???

[airbone]

nope till now no exams have being conducted by cae in mumbai so i dont think so they will do it in future..

[Uniform.]

Upcoming Indigo assessment will be conducted on June 20th, 21st , 22nd and 23rd, 2011.
