Regarding Met Charts study low and High level Prognostic charts (also known as significant weather charts I guess).They are used worldwide.Besides that Station Model is quite important.You can study them from the FAA Jeppessen books.Prognostic charts are available in any IMD.

meteorology question
Q1. you intend to overfly a mountain ridge at an altitude of 15000ft AMsL.The average air temp i s 15degree lover than IsA.the sealevel pressure 1003Hpa.which altimeter indication is needed?
Ans--16170ft...............please explain hw to solve this problem
thanks
please some one guide in solving this problem
Q2.An OAT of -55degree at the 200Hpa pressure level:
A)+/-5degree IsA.
B) is low...............
{acc. to me ans should be +10degree IsA DEVIATION}

@ AVIATROZ
True altitude = Indicated altitude + 4% of Indicated every 10 deg above ISA if ISA deviation is positive.
= Indicated altitude - 4% of Indicated every 10 deg below ISA if ISA deviation is negative.
Here 15000 is the true altitude. Temp is 15 deg lower so Indicated altitude will be higher. 4% for 10 deg so 6% for 15 deg.
6 % of 15000 is 900. So Indicated altitude is 15900.
The altimeter setting is 1003 so you will need to set 27 x10(1013-1003) = 270 feet higher.
15900 + 270 = 16170 feet which is your answer.
Hope you got it.

BMI
i just happened to notice the first post of this thread posted by cyrilroy21 containing the jet airways advertisement for 'trainee first officer' citing all the requirements, one of them being 'weight should match with height', does this imply that any candidate not within the normal BMI of 18-25 will be turned down during the medical check-up (stage 5 of the selection process)?

Finally some positive news, I found this as well-
MUMBAI, 20th September 2011: Private air carrier Jet Airways on Tuesday said it has received delivery of its first Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which will be inducted in the airline's fleet this month.
The aircraft is the first of the 11 such Boeing 737-800s, whose delivery is expected between October 2011 and March next year, Jet Airways said in a statement.
"The Boeing 737 has been an essential part of our product offering in the past and Jet Airways selected the next generation state-of-the art Boeing 737-800 aircraft because of its high degree of operational flexibility and economy," the company's Chief Commercial Officer Sudheer Raghavan said.
These new Boeing 737-800 aircraft will also possess better economy, given the fact that they will have over one per cent less fuel burn, compared to the airline's fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft.
Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 98 aircraft, which includes 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 56 Boeing 737-700/800/900 aircraft and 10 ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft, it said.

With the current orders and fleet expansion. Would jet hire more people next yr or later ? I am planning to begin my flying after few months. Like everyone even i am afraid of the current situation. Even indigo looks bright ? Would these factors really make things better in the coming years ?

Why....?!?! With the current situation. Every thing looks bright. But unless someone really bad happens like 2008.
You still have some time, i really hope you would take the more practical decision and go get a College Degree or something before you poof your $$ up in aviation, where CPL is not worthy any other place other than the Flight Deck.
I understand the glamour and the awesomeness of the profession might blind you to feel, oh hey, i can clear DGCA Exams, I can clear Indigo,JET,AIR INDIA what not. But dude! its not as rosy and easy as it sounds.
I suggest you re-consider your choice and get more stability in your life by staying away from aviation. At the cost of Pilot training, you could complete a Bachelors from a Good University, Also your Masters and still have money left!
Think About it.
,but yes would advice you to do your graduation simultaneously through correspondence
