Jet Airways Trainee First Officer

[fly.low]

in my center, only flight calculator was allowed

i attempted 17 in paper 4,,,,,,

[cobracommander]

well it definitely was allowed,infact the lady supervising my room(mumbai) announced before the test that unlike the letter,Jet has decided to allow the use of calc and cx2. When some panicked about not having one, they decided to let people use their cellphones for calculations purpose ( smart ! )

as such there wasnt any particular use of cx2, but a calculator came in handy 4 two sums(simple though)

but whoever got to use their phones for only god knows what, are at an advantage for sure!

@ Shabez

good night!!

[mike_sierra]

allright guys..maybe this post is too late for the exams...or maybe too early for the upcoming ones..

but i need to know this..
can anyone genuinely suggest a book (other than 'OXFORD' please) for technical (hydraulics, pressurization, l. gear, electricals, pneumatic) and performance stuff
cuz ive tried..but oxford is just way too much ..



P.S. this is in context to both jet airways and indigo exams

[cobracommander]

tentative dates

those who have been given a direct entry pass for the GDs,when are your dates for your rounds?
Have any of you received any call/ letters from Jet regarding this mentioning the centre,areas for preparation etc.?
Kindly provide some info.

[av8er1990]

@mike sierra

firstly dont give indigo exam....its rigged.

other books you can refer to are.
ground up.
handbook of aeronautical knowledge.

[s.singh]

any1 got date for re-gd???

@ av8er1990

the indigo exam is rigged, really? how can you be sure?

Jet questions

I know many of you here might dismiss my discussion of the questions that were asked in the written exams for jet, i completely agree and i was one of the people who said i dont want to discuss the questions when i got out of the exam center and that i would get through the exams if i did well irrespective what we discuss.

however, it is also true that curiosity always gets to us, we obviously want to know what are the area of our weaknesses and what the topics we should concentrate more on if, god forbid we flunk this exam or dont make it through any of the consequent rounds or infact even for the preps for the interview rounds.

all this being said, can anybody please answer the following few questions ?

1. the pressure valve incharge of the opening of the under carriage and the sequential movement of the landing gear .
a. sequence valve
b. shuttle valve

(dont remember the other options)

2. Anybody that rotates about its own axis is called a

a. microscope
b.telescope
c.gyroscope
d.none of the above

(gyroscope seems to be the answer but the definition is not completely correct, so it could as well be none of the above?)

3. what is longitudinal dihedral

4. what is the significance of CLmax

thanks in advance

cheers,
P

[av8er1990]

i have couple of friends who attempted it..who were sure of clearing but didnt...but they didnt get through...the exam is set very easy....waste of 376$
itl be the biggest regret of ur life..!

[fly.low]

@puneeth

Q1. a) sequence valve(100% sure)
Q2. i marked gyroscope in this
Q3. i forgot wht i marked in dis one
Q4. airplane can fly slow

[aviator7256]

WAT ARE D CORRECT ANSWERS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1. Ceiling fan is wat kind of gyro??
2. Variation at the equator is ....??
3. a/c lights mandatory-30 mins aftr sunrise n 30 mins prior sunset.

Results

Guys Please enlighten me....

how long is it gonno be..for the results to come out

does everyone get a result or only those pass the exam...

hey as far as i can remember the ques which was asked was about " dihedral" (without mentioning wing dihedral or longitudinal dihedral)........and one of the option was that longitudinal dihedral gives stability around longitudinal axis (which is wrong coz it gives longitudinal stability ) and according to me the correct option was which said dihedral is mainly used to increase lateral stability (which is the case with wing dihedral)......


and ceiling fan should be an earth gyro coz its spin axis is maintained by gravity. (though i myself marked tied gyro)

plz correct me if i am wrong

[Shabez]

i think it was lateral axis and the earh gyro and tied gyro werent even the options ...the answer was vertical gyro

[aviator7256]

what about aircraft lights regulations?

[stiffy_pro]

Longitudinal Dihedral Angle is the angle between the Chords of the Main wing and the tailplane, So it's the longitudinal stablity..

[roshanpoojary]

@Puneeth

Longitudinal Dihedral is the acute angle made between Chord of the 'main plane' and chord of the 'tail plane'

I would have though a ceiling fan would be a horizontally mounted gyro spinning around its vertical axis.
