Diversion/ Enroute alternate airport means an airport at which an aircraft may land if a landing at
the intended airport is inadvisable. The aerodrome will be available and equipped with
necessary ancillary services such as ATC, sufficient lighting, communications, weather
reporting, navigation aids, emergency services etc.
(from DGCA CAR on etops)
For the ILS question the answer is cat 3

Doesn't the dispatch minimums for alternate depend upon the number of useable approaches available. ?
2 precision app. Ceiling 400' viz 1mile
1 precision app. Ceiling 600' viz 2miles
1 npa. ceiling 800' viz 2miles

@livetokill
i have posted etops alternate requirements, not operating minima. i beleieve that was what was asked.
as far as ur doubt on alternate minima for ifr flt planning/dispatch, the figures u quote are applied in FAA/TC and are not icao procedure.
india doesnt actually specify alternate minima for airports. they specify aerodrome operating minima for each airport and i beleive the same are used for alternate planning. but im not 100% sure of the last bit. will try and confirm this with a professional dispatcher in one of the major airlines.
Now, coming to viva questions, sorry i have been a bit lazy.
had my vivas on 7th but posting the Qs now.
NAV
1. what is true north, magnetic north, compass north. diff b/w them all
2. define latt, long? what is prime meridian ?what is time zone?
3. which is more accurate dme-dme fix or gps fix?
4. explain rvsm. what is it? why is is needed? what are the eqpt reqd? below 290 is 1000 seperation, above 290 also 1000 ft, then why is it reduced, it is same..explain!
5. what is etops, explain in ur own words whatever u know abt it. categories?
6. explain canpa/cdfa in ur own words. how is it diff from normal non prec. approach?
7. define msa. show it in approach chart (he opens a random approach plate in the jeppesen binder lying in front of him). where is the highest obstacle in this approach chart?
8. tell me abt mora. which chart is it found on (enroute). what does it mean in terms of clearance.
RADIO AIDS
1. explain working of ndb. show me with diagrams. name all the errors. explain night effect error. explain whats happening inside the device at the loop antenna during night error. within what dist from ndb can night error be ignored?
2. explain ils. what are the antennas used. where are they located on the ground? where is the dme antenna placed if its ILS/DME installation. explain false glide slope. why does it happen. how do u avoid it? how will u know when flying ils approach if u r on false glide slope.
3. explain radar basic theory. types of radar (primary/secondary). example of primary (i said AWR). explain working and modes of awr. what is the frequency used? why? what are types of beams used? why? what is gain?

ATPL NAV and Radio Orals Chennai April 2013 attempt
First of all they ask is tell us about urself? what have u done? if employed? where? etc. On the basis of this they decide which questions to ask. For a fresher they will mostly stick to theoretical questions from the book whereas for an experienced candidate, questions can range from basics to practical aspects of flying(eg one A320 pilot got asked where is the location of ELT in the cockpit?)
Next question which they seemed to be asking a lot of candidates is..Where is the syllabus for ATPL oral exam? (I said CAR..)
General Nav
1) Field limited TOW?
2)Climb limited TOW?
3)What is Climb gradient?
4) If flaps are used how would it affect the TOW?
He then got into enroute charts..Highlighted an area and told me to explain everything i could see in that area
5)definitions-Mea, Moca, Grid Mora
6)Can Moca be less than Grid Mora? (Yes because Moca is only for the width of the airway whereas Grid Mora is for the entire Grid)
7)Show RNAV waypoints, compulsory reporting points, flyover waypoints
8)Explain the difference between Lambert Conformal Conical Chart and Mercator Cylindrical Projection Chart?
9)What is constant of cone? why is it used and what is its significance?
10)In lamberts if scale reduces between std parallels and is least at the parallel of origin then why do we still use it?
11)You are the captain. You are doing an ETOPS flight. What will be your action if the weather at the alternate falls below the ETOPS minima?
case 1- You are just about to enter the ETOPS segment
case 2- You are in ETOPS segment
12) What is adequate aerodrome and suitable aerodrome?which is better?why?
Radio Aids and instruments
1)How is IRS different from INS?
2)What is ring laser gyro? Draw and explain.
3)What are the errors of artificial horizon? Which type of gyro is it
4)Which type of gyro is directional gyro?
5)ASI blockage readings in climb and descent?
6)Altimeter blockage readings in climb and descent?
7)Whats the relation between frequency and wavelength?
8)What happens to speed of light as we go up? (Remains constant)
9)What happens to speed of sound as we go up?
10)Which instrument gets affected because of this?
11)If Mach no is ratio of TAS/LSS then why doesnt it get affected?
12)In LSS=38.94*sq.rt (T in degree kelvin) why is T expressed in degrees kelvin?
13)Which component gets affected more due to low temp at high altitudes static pressure or dynamic pressure?
14)Explain the working of VOR? its limitations?
15)What is DVOR? how does it remove site error?
16)What is TCAS 2? what indications does it give?
17)What do you tell the ATC when you receive TCAS RA?
18)On what instrument do you get TCAS indications?
19)Tell me another SSR instrument onboard the aircraft? (ans. DME)
20)What are the errors of DME?
21)Which type of propagation does it use? Range given by which formula?
22) Overhead the beacon what range information will DME give?
23)Which instrument gets affected because of skywaves?How does it affect?
24)At night coverage of NDB increases or decreases? till what range? (ans. decreases. we can use it till 70nm)
25)What is Mcrit?
26)Why is Mach no used after a certain level in climb?
27)Can we determine at what altitude will the coffins corner be by looking at IAS?

ATPL Nav Orals Mumbai July 2013 attempt
hi everyone,
I had cleared my radio aids & instrument oral in april 2013 attempt but couldn't make it in nav.
The following questions were asked to me this time:-
1) What is latitude, longitude, rhumb line?
2) What is earth's compression?
3) What is orthomorphism?
4) What is convergency?formula?
5) Tell me everything you know about mercator and lambert projection? (explain everything construction, properties, shapes of rhumb line, G.C., scale variation etc)
6) What is transverse and oblique mercator?
7) What is GPS?
8) There was a VOR approach plate, was asked to brief him the approach.
What is the MSA, FAF?
MSA was 2600', he asked if coming inbound ATC clears you to descend to 2600' at 26nm would you descend?(I said yes i would descend as i am coming inbound i will enter the msa shortly. I dont know if its correct because technically msa clears obstacles uptill 25nm only )
Tell me the missed approach procedure of this approach.
9) He took an enroute chart and asked me to locate a particular location (jodhpur) in the chart? (ans. locate it by opening the page where the page nos are written across the location name, eg. jodhpur pg7c etc they want to see you do this)
And what are the standard parallels of this chart?
Thats it, you can go now
My last attempt at nav orals was pathetic, but this time it was good, hopefully, i will clear this time.
Thanks for reading.

hey
guys just had my orals for the october attempt was giving radio and gen nav some of the questions that i could recollect are:-
RADIO
2)YOU HAVE A ENGINE FAILURE IN A 737 AFTER THAT U HAVE A RA ON YOUR TCAS ASKING YOU TO CLIMB, WHAT WILL BE YOUR NEXT ACTION?
I had told them that if aircraft in normal conditions i would have answered the above question but engine failure dont know sir , so then the answer they gave was U CHANGE YOUR AIRCRAFT MODE TO TA FROM RA THEN IT ONLY TELLS YOU "TRAFFIC TRAFFIC" AND FOR THE INTRUDER AIRCRAFT IT NOW KNOWS THAT U R NOT FOLLOWING YOUR RA ANYMORE AND HIS RA WILL COORDINATE WITH MY AIRCRAFT ACCORDINGLY...PHEW..
3)HOW DO YOU REDUCE ISO CLUTTER I AN AWR IN A MODERN AIRCRAFT ?
again didnt know much about it except its to do something with the swept gain , anyway so the answer to this is THERE IS A BUTTON THE PANEL WHICH SAYS GCS GROUND CLUTTER SUPRRESS.
4)WHAT IS SELCALL?
THIS ONE I BELIEVE MOST OF US HERE CAN ANSWER.
5)WHAT IS ELT406?
EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER BEACON TRANSMITTS ON 406MHZ FREQUNCY FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS.
6)WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EGPWS AND GPWS TELL US ALL THE ALERTS , MODES AND WARNINGS ?
THIS IS A DIRECT QUESTION ITS DERE IN GSP AND OXFORD BOOKS ALSO REMEMBER TO TALK ABOUT MODE 7 WHICH GIVES REACTIVE WINDSHEAR.
7)DO YOU GET A PICTURE ON YOUR AWR RADAR SCREEN OF A WINDSHEAR?
I TOLD THEM WE GET AUDIO AND VISUAL ALERTS BUT NOT SURE OF A PICTURE ON THE AWR SCREEN.
8)ON GROUND CAN YOU SWITCH ON YOUR TCAS WHILE TAXING AND WHAT DOES IT GIVE TA OR RA?
I TOLD THEM NOT SURE SIR ABOUT SWITCHING IT ON GROUND , THE ANSWER IS YOU CAN SWITCH IT ON AND YOU GET ONLY TA.
THATS IT GUYS ALL THIS LASTED FOR ABT 10-15 MINS STUDY DEEP, IF YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF WELL THEY WILL CLEAR YOU. ALL THE BEST.
