@vapourlock : i called up DGCA regarding the same query and this is what they said "no proof is needed for online payment , infact you will be able to print the form only after the online payment is approved , hence its not necessary to send any proof "

links to "learning payload" better are welcome, also if you recommend any books where the concept is well explained would be appreciated.

I have keith williams 1000 q&a and cant seem to find the topic anywhere. same applies for the oxford books. Strange!! , or am I missing something ?!?

cheers !

The word "Payload" does not appear very much in JAR/EASA exams. But the "Traffic Load" includes payload plus non-revenue loads.

In my 1000 QA&E For Mass & Balance book all of the various load definitions are provided in pages 6 and 7. You will also find 103 questions of Traffic Loads in pages 162 to 193.

@clearbluskyy and @Keith williams

Even if you refer the DGCA CPL or ATPL syllabus you wont find something called PAY LOAD

ATPL
http://www.dgca.nic.in/cars/d7b-b6.pdf

CPL
http://www.dgca.nic.in/cars/D7B-B4.pdf

PAY LOAD is very popularly used in India by the ground instructors to refer to MASS and BALANCE topics .

Before the DGCA implemented the JAA / EASA syllabus the only topic that used to appear for the CPL/ATPL exams from MASS and BALANCE was PAYLOAD or other wise known as TRAFFIC LOAD

Since the DGCA adopted the EASA syllabus it was changed to TRAFFIC LOAD and they started including the other topic in MASS and BALANCE as well .

Well the popular options include RK Bali and another one by V Krishnan published by Himalayan Books
Both are available at the English Book store

The RK Bali book was last updated in 2012 . I am not sure if there is a 2013 edition .

Dont forget that the syllabus includes Human Performance and Operational procedures as well .
Syllabus is given in my above post
More or less the same as an EASA / JAA syllabus . Questions too are copied from either the RK bali book or the JAA question bank


P.S You dont need to give the ATPL Regs exam if you already hold an Indian DGCA CPL since the syllabus is the same for both .

Where can I get hold of the JAA question bank?

Would the 2 books and the question bank suffice to clear the exam?

Actually any one book is more than enough to clear the exam

Buy the other one only for its question bank

The JAA ATPL question bank can be accessed here

Flight Training


http://www.easabank.eu

Dont forget that these questions are primarily based on the JAA Regs .

And Check PM
