yes questions were as per new syllabus...in numerical no complicated calculations at all....simply apply the formula and you are done...and for theory questions just the basic concepts.....

Thumbs up nav questions aug 19 2011 atpl

guys..
there is a re-examination for NAV.
read this:
Candidates who were marked present but could not successfully complete their
examination due to disruption occurred for various technical reasons while appearing for
Air Navigation and Navigation Composite paper on 19
th
August, 2011 (morning and
afternoon batch) are required to appear for re-examination. The list of those candidates
who are required to appear for re-examination along with the date, venue and time of reexamination shall be published on DGCA website shortly. However, those candidates,
who have secured minimum required marks, shall not be called for re-examination.

DOUBT: IS ANYONE WHO HAS NOT CLEARED NAV ELIGIBLE FOR RE-EXAM????

also: let us all put up the NAV questions that we remember had come this time.....

to start with.. there were 3-4 questions on the convergency
about 3-4 on scale
and about one (1) each on DCP/TCP DNPR/TPNR

please add more...

Hello folks

My application was rejected for ATPL exam and now it has appeared in the rejected list of candidates stating "No supporting documents".

With the application, supporting documents attached by me was only a copy of my CPL. I presume they needed the copy of Logbook also.

Is there anything else i am supposed to attach next time when i apply for exam?

Thanks

The list of candidates for the re-examination for Air Navigation has been published on DGCA's site. The exam is scheduled for 3rd Sept. Gud luck to all those writing the exam.

Q " What does swept gain mean in an AWR "

1. Transmission power increases as range increases

2.The returns are stronger at large angles from the aircraft heading

3. Transmission power increases as the cosecant2 of the angle from horizontal

4. The receiver increases sensitivity with time


Correct answer is 4) The receiver increases sensitivity with time

If you think about how the altimeter works and how pressure varies with altitude, this type of question is not at all difficult.

The altimeter indicates the height of the aircraft above whatever pressure level is set on the subscale.

With 1023 set it indicates height relative to the 1023 level.

With 1013 set it indiactes height above the 1013 level.

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude so the 1013 level is above the 1023 level.

So when adjusting from 1023 to 1013 we are adjusting it to read relative to a higher level.

So the indication will decrease.

KW/Aviation Training site answers

@cyril, are all the answers on the Aviation Training site accurate? KW has (some of their Qs) different answers for similarly worded questions with the same choices.

I cant vouch for the accuracy of the answers on the site .

I believe a few errors have crept in here and there . You can contact the website founders and discuss any questions you have with them .
They reply back quickly

On another note I believe Keith Williams question banks also have some errors in it . I remember him mentioning it earlier somewhere on the forum

I doubt if any question bank is entirely free of errors.

It is also the case that some apparently identical questions are in fact slightly different and have different answers. Recent additions to the JAA question bank have included a lot of questions of this type. In many cases you are given two statements and must decide whether each is correct or incorrect. Unless you read these questions very carefully you will probably pick the wrong answer. As an exampe of this there are something like 20 to 30 questions on how pressure and velocity vary in a venturi.

The most important thing to look for in a good question bank is detailed explanations. This will enable users to develop a proper understanding of the subject material, and will also enable them to make a rational judgement about whether or not an answer is correct. But most importantly, by developing a real understanding of the subjects, it will enable exam takers to deal with questions that they have never seen before.

The majority of the questions that are posted on this forum are from people who want to know how to solve problems. Question banks that provide the question and answer, but no explanation are of no help whatsoever in this regard.

Examples of different answers

1. Among the foll. functions of an autopilot, those related to the airplane stabilization are?
1. Pitch attitude holding
2. Horizontal wing holding
3. Displayed heading or inertial track holding
4. Indicated airspeed or Mach number holding
5. Yam damping
6. VOR axis holding

KW answer: 1,2,5.
AT site answer: 1,2

2. In automatic landing mode, when the two autopilots are used, the system is considered?
1. "Fail Survival" or without failure effect with function always ensured.
2. "Fail Passive" or without failure effect but with disconnection

KW answer: 2
AT site answer: 1

I'll post more as and when I come across them.

Thanks
