hey its completely fine
@ attitude flying........
Actually i m certainly not looking for spoon feeding.......but i kinda got stuck with these 2 questions......tried my best to look for them on internet and other material i could refer to but was not able...find anything satisfactory..........
i think i lack....the concept with regards to these..............so just though ....why not to ask my aviator mates to help me out in solving these questions....
-----though hav no idea abt the RPL...
abt the secound question i feel it should be
1013.25-985=28 mb.......28*30=847 feet.....
but answer is 160 feet........so don`t knw hw to get this question right...
it wud b really help full if anyone can help
thanks

bro the question mentioned above is the only question they ask on RPL, so just remember that. and RPL is repetitive flight plan.
and i think you can always ask questions and people should answer if they know them. its always good to discuss stuff and this is the best place to do it.
just do not bother about people who discourage it, like that guy above hehe..
anyone having problems may kindly quit and start a new thread, hehe.

and no need to say sorry to anyone. chill.
remember:
A repetitive flight plan (RPL) is a flight plan related to a series of frequently recurring, regularly operated individual flights with identical basic features, submitted by an operator for retention and repetitive use by ATS units. (ICAO Annex 2: Rules of the Air)
RPLs are routinely used by most airlines for regular scheduled flights which operate over the same route at least once a week.
Further Reading
ICAO Annex 11 Chapter 3.
the question above is a very specific question on rpl.

Answer to transition layer question
There is a published table to determine the flight level if we know the qnh and transition altitude...
According to table here with qnh being 985 and TA being 3000' the transition level comes out to be 4000...
Calculating further we wil get the difference between 1013 and 985 is 840'
So the transition layer is difference between 4000-(3000+840)=160
I got the table from wikipedia ..searching for transition altitude....

Doubts
Hey guys .could u please help me in solving the below questions. These r from oxford radio aids- vor chapter

a) 54.5 Nm
b) 109 NM
c) 66 Nm
d) 132 Nm
Q2) An aircraft is homing towards VOR which marks the centreline of an airway. The beacon is 100 Nm distant. If the pilot had the airway QDM set on the OBS what deflection of the deviation indicator would be given if the aircraft was on the boundary of the airway? Assume that 1 dot equals 2 degrees.
a) 3 dots
b) 2 dots
c) 2.5 dots
d) 1.5 dots
Q3) Assuming an accuracy of + / - 5.5 degree, the maximum spacing of 2 vor’s defining the centreline of an airway, that would ensure no aircraft could be outside the airway is;
a) 54 Nm
b) 51 nm
c) 109 nm
d) 132 nm
Q4)what is the theoretical maximum range that an aircraft at FL 420 will obtain from a vor beacon situated at 400 feet above msl?
a) 225 nm
b) 256 nm
c) 281 nm
d) 257 nm

@ wings of fire
1. The airways in U.K. Airways are maximum 5 nm either side.
Using, 1 in 60 formula, Angle= S/R * 60
i.e. 5.5= 5/R *60 ,R = 54.54 NM
The Maximum distance implies the diameter, Hence 2 X 54.54= 109 NM (B)
2. The same formula, R= 100 nm, S= 5nm
Angle= 5/100 *60 = 3 degree
Since, 1 dot is equal to 2 degree.It would be 1.5 dots. (D)
3. Entirely the same as 1. Just that there's a change of language. (C)
4. Range= 1.25 sq.root height of Aircraft + 1.25 sq.root height of VOR
= 1.25 ( sq.root 42000 + sq.root 400)
=281 NM (C)

Okay guys for all of you getting ready for your CASS . I appeared in June and have cleared . . I am posting details which i think will help you :
CASS Assessment is 4 exercises in total , the order may vary :
1.Sim
2.English test
3.HR interview
4.Personality Questionnaire
For sim go through the booklet you will receive thoroughly so you are familiar . The guys over there are very helpful and give you ample time to practice so its not a worry .
English test is not a worry either , i mean if you are scared about clearing a simple English test then well god save the Indian skies when you fly .
Personal interview - Its more of a healthy discussions where general questions are asked about you . I dont mind posting the questions but it wont help you as you will prepare the answers and mug up the answers which is not the right way , the guys over there are skilled enough to see who is honest and who is not .
The KEY to SUCCESS is CONFIDENCE ( NOT OVER NOT UNDER )
Get done with this stage and then worry for GD and other things .
Hope it helps
Plz do not PM me regarding above
All the best

for next exam
Hi friends ,
Any idea about when the next indigo exam is ? And how to receive a call for written .
I hav previously applied in indigo but havnt received any call . I got my IR laspe in July.

@ yash
thanks for all the info regarding CASS.
Just wanted to know after these four CASS stages...what remains???
Is there a GD and or medical or something else?????

thanks for your reply buddy.
however answer to the 4 rth question is given 225 Nm in the book.(Even I was confused looking at the answer.) Is it a printing mistake or can there be any suitable explanation
It is question number 8 in Vor chapter.

The 4th question has some error, everytime I d these questions, the answer always difffer. So, can't really say if you should mug up the answer or just follow the formula.

Q18 Theory mentioned in VOR states about the cone of confusion angle to be 50 Degree. Hence, Tan 50 = P/B
Here, P = Radius of Cone = ?
B= 42500 Ft =6.99 Km
Substitute the values in the equation, Tan50 = P/6.99= 8.33Nm
To calculate the time aircraft remains in the cone of confusion, Diameter=2R
Time= Distance/GS. i.e. 2 X 8.33 / 480 =0.034 Hour.
COnvert it into minutes, The answer is approx 2 Minutes. (C)

Thanks bud. That was very prompt of you. am sure u will go a long way ahead.
With regards to Q8 in Vor chapter(where the answer is 225 Nm)- I have made a few observations.
Chech out Q4, 13 and 22, they all r of similar types to Q8. In those 3 questions the formula applies of 1.25*(root of Ht + root of Hr) - but the altitudes are FL 360, FL 250 , Fl 180 respectively - all of which are less than 36090 feet. Whereas in Q8 aircraft is at Fl 420 i.e at tropopause- where temp. is constant. So can there be any reason or theory u can deduce.
I have read radio waves get affected by temperature inversion.
Eg: in temperature inversion VHF waves get reflected back to earth and travel in form of multi hop propagation and not line of sight
