-----Original Message----- From: indigo flightcrew <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 Subject: pilot/pilot management_ mis-management issues Dear All We are moved to tears by the CEO's well meaning email below. he missed the point completely..pasted below are some pilot responses for info of all. .Yes he went to bat for the crew that screwed up but this was more out of concern for the Airlines' reputation than for the pilots. .Did he go to bat for pilots that anonymously work and have got kicked about by OCC (roster). We have the worst Flight operation department in the country run by clerks and the executive pilots are all ball-less **** licking suckers who should all resign. Surprised that VP Operations has chosen not to respond. the issues are flight operations related/specific and not CEO specific. .We are sick of hearing that the CEO is working on the numbers and pilot quality of life issue are important to him. This has been going on since launch. WE do not see them being solved by well meaning mails.its time someone kicked **** before the company's performance slips behind the power curve. Where are the chief pilots fleet captains and supervisors. Are so many needed? The tear jerk-er mail failed to understand or address the basic issues. Pilots in the Airline are orphans due to a lack of pilot management.The VP and his cahoots have abdicated their responsibilities.Meeting and get- together do not solve problems decisive action does. MR CEO please sit down and identify the basic issues and not the non issues like pilot food and hotels that you have addressed. If you do so earnestly we will not demand collective bargaining through a union. The issues are: 1) Give flight Operations a leader and a decision maker. 2) Stop this practice of 7 month joining bonus for a few. Acknowledge and appreciate ( words and kind) the role played by your existing pilots. 3) Stop discriminating between co pilots All Jr co pilots, co pilots and Sr co pilots should be on same terms and condition of employment as applicable to each category.( Same pay and base pay etc) 4) stop discriminating between Captains and co pilots with respect to layover allowance and 11/2 rotation.Have uniform fair and equitable treatment for your pilots 5) Honour your Employment agreement in letter and spirit.VP HR should consentrate on Human Resource development and not just pleasing the Boss. To our mind HR should have not let the situation arise. Total HR failure. 6) institute roster reforms, 7) sack those responsible for the present situation and show your employees that you have taken control. 8) Do not try and buy pilot loyalty.Earn by your deeds and actions. We are not whores. 9) Your pilots are demoralized and demotivated. They are tired and becoming unsafe. Do not only talk about safety The SMS is for use and not pleasing dGCA and your manuals. Identify the risks and the earnestly take action to reduce it. .FDTL is as important as SOPs tired are your major risk factor and flirting with FDTL limits will only bring you grief. 10). Work on improving pilot moral and stop needless harassment of pilots for minor SOP infringements. If you earnestly desire better pilot/pilot managements relations address the above ASAP. If you start doing so by informing us rather than talking down to us. Indigo Flight crew willing will declare peace and a ceasefire..... cease fire u pto 31st dec '11. No more mails from us till then Hey guys lets give them a chance. Flight Operations needs leadership and decision making I ----------------------- 2. trainee pilots who still have to start their Carrier 3. company sponsored pilots who will never say any thing 4. Pilots with 50 hour contract who would fear that if they speak they will be thrown out and will never get a salary hike 5. Co-pilots with AT who are in line for upgrade and mostly are too young so count them out 6. now newly released captains who still do not have experience so in case they loose their jobs they are as good as co-pilots 7. now Captains who want to become check pilots they would never say anything 8. also captains who have become check pilots want to become examiners so count them out 9. captains eyeing management positions, count them out 10. captains who want to become fleet captains 11. beware of some moles in management who are two sided knifes. 12. never trust anyone in this game not even your left hand. 13. air force pilots who are like cheap labour and yes boss men the road ahead is difficult but not impossible. its time to give them back. what ever they are today its because of pilots. And one man who is responsible for this sorry condition of pilots is SHAKTI LUMBA who always treated every individual like an idiot. when the time will come very few would stand up. once threatened by company every one would back out as it is common Indian mentality that i was not involved he is the one who started and forced every one into it. if we actually want to do some thing then it has to be full blown open war. first get yourself a secure job so that in case management chuck you out and every one backs out atleast you are safe with a job in hand, once you have a job then call everyone for a meeting and there and then make members keep all the formalities ready and complete and waste no time and get the association registered before management starts divide and rule. pilot unity jindabad ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03 October From: Aditya Ghosh (President, GBP) Sent: 03 October 2011 23:07 Subject: Reflections Dear Pilot Colleagues, I saw this email on Friday and the days and nights since then have been extremely painful and sad for me. Actually, I am angry, sad and disgusted - all at the same time. Angry – because the email is anonymous and malicious; Sad – because despite my best efforts at being personally available to back you, support you and listen to you, the sender(s) did not feel the need to come up to me directly and have a professional face-to-face conversation; and disgusted – because of the language and tenor of the email. At first, I thought of ignoring this anonymous email. But I feel that as I have remained accessible at all times and communicated with each of you through some of the most challenging times our business has ever faced, I will do so even now. The mail pasted at the end was received on Friday, and I thought I would pass it on to all of you so that everyone is in the loop, as I notice that the anonymous sender ([email protected]<mailto:flightcrew.indigo@gmail. com>) did not have all your email IDs. While most of the content of the email is hurtful and incorrect, I think we should pick on the ones that reflect your genuine issues and we should work to resolve them. I know that you are tired and frustrated. I am acutely aware of this. Getting the numbers right and improving your quality of life is my top priority. We need numbers and we need them fast! That’s the only fundamental way to solve the rostering issues. Would it not have been better to just come and talk to me? All of you have my email id. Most of you have my mobile number. If you have an issue, come and talk to me. If you are facing a problem, come and raise it with me. If you have an issue with anyone, send me an email directly. My job is to support you and protect you, keeping the best interests of the organisation in mind. I will not respond to any of the personal attacks on me. It is below my dignity to do so. This email forced me to reflect and recall if there has been a single instance in my time at IndiGo where I have spoken or addressed or dealt with any of my colleagues in an unprofessional manner. If I have ever been rude to anyone. If I have ignored anyone. If I have ever treated anyone with indignity. I tried to think of one problem or challenge that any of my colleagues brought up to me – whether it be professional or personal in nature - and it remained unresolved. If I have ever used language that compromises your dignity. I could not think of one. But then again, you are better judges than me. What flashed before my eyes, were the scores of instances where I have actively and personally defended our pilots before the DGCA, passengers, police, media and competitors. Of all the hours that I spend on seeing whether your meals are edible, whether your hotels are comfortable and safe, whether your cars are clean. You, pilots, decide your crew meals. You decide what you want to eat and how much you want to eat. I have never interfered with crew meals. Is this what it comes down to? I don’t know how many of you know this, but this anonymous email was even forwarded to the media by some of our colleagues! I leave it to you to decide, how ethical and professional it was to do that. It is ironical that this email comes at a time, when I have personally been spending hours for the past several weeks on working out a Pilot Welfare Scheme that will benefit all IndiGo pilots. I will announce it soon once I have ironed out some details. I am working on a Dead-Heading Allowance for you all. I revised the international layover allowance. I have been working to see how soon we can start layovers in Bangkok. All this, not because you asked me for it. I work on these ideas because I care. I find it strange that while the whole world is at the brink of a major financial crisis, while the western economies are on their knees, while the middle east is reeling under the burden of debt and insolvencies, while every business worth its salt is running to India, some of my colleagues are considering leaving behind a stable career, growth opportunities and their homes for a few dollars more. I wish some of my younger colleagues take time to talk to some of the senior pilots to find out what it feels like to go through an economic downturn and the value of a stable job and career. While some of our competitor airlines are melting down around us, IndiGo is the only airline where there hasn’t been a single instance when a salary has got delayed even by a day, where there has been never any retrenchments, where there has been never any salary freeze – let alone pay cut, where every year we have had promotions and upgrades, where regular bonuses have been paid to the crew. Today, we have one of the best compensation packages and terms and conditions of employment in the industry. We are reputed to be the most professional. We are the only ones who can confidently show a path of growth for all our colleagues. Is everything perfect? Absolutely Not! Are we the best in India? Absolutely Yes! Will we do everything possible to improve continuously? Without a doubt! Just over a month back, I wrote to each one of you and said that I know that each one of you is putting in an incredible amount of effort to keep our planes flying safely. I truly appreciate the fact that whenever almost any of you have been approached to take a flight assignment either at a short notice or on your day off, maximum cooperation has been received from all. I often say that I have the best job in the world because I get the opportunity to come to work every day with such a bunch of talented and dedicated colleagues. We are in the midst of rapid and sustained expansion. IndiGo plans to reach 55 aircraft strength by end of March 2012, a growth which lot of airline take years to achieve. By any measure, anywhere in the world, this is a phenomenal rate of growth and such bold moves have taken IndiGo to no. 2 position in the Indian aviation sector in just 5 years of operations. This growth does have it’s share of challenges too. Since the launch of operations, we have faced many challenges in our pursuit of making IndiGo the best airline in India. We have succeeded in meeting every one of these challenges with the support of each one of you. It’s our constant endeavor to ensure that IndiGo grows and succeeds at every step and I take this opportunity to thank each one of you for your hard work and sustained efforts. The contribution made by each one of you has been commendable. IndiGo is not what it is today because of just you or me or any individual, but it is the result of what we all contribute together …. as one team! Having said that, we will never compromise on safety. We will never flout any rules. I would like to apprise you that we are making all efforts to improve the Pilot numbers and leaving no stone unturned to get maximum numbers on board. Innovative hiring techniques and through consistent efforts by our Pilot Resourcing team. Some of these efforts include offering “temporary” financial incentives for new pilots to join us. This is not because the company wants to spend more money than it needs to, but only because I want to ensure that we have adequate numbers … and quickly. So that each of you gets enough rest and relief. So that roster issues become a thing of the past. So that you feel comfortable in contributing to our growth. You can help too. Try to convince as many good human beings and good pilots to apply with us and join the line as soon as possible. Several matters directly hinge on our success in this endeavour, including the core of all our pilot complaints – rostering disruptions. I had said that it will take a few months to get us there and asked you to hang in there with me! However, this anonymous email appeared in less than a month. My personal commitment and responsibility to make IndiGo, not only the best airline to work for but also one of the best companies to work for remains unchanged. If you have ideas, then don’t keep it to yourself. Send them to me. If you want to do something about it, apply to become a Fleet Supervisor or just support me on the line. Come be a part of the solution with me. I always say, while we can’t solve all the problems, if I know the issues directly – big or small, we can do something about it. You and I are “colleagues”. I hate the word “management”. I never use it. We are with you, and together, I have no doubt that we will overcome this challenge. You are good and dedicated professionals, and we are going to come out of this feeling proud that we worked shoulder-to-shoulder through this difficult period and emerged as victors on the battlefield. It is time to unite … but unite as one company … as one organization … as one IndiGo. I am waiting to hear from you individually. I know that – I am the I in IndiGo. Are you?

Pilot fatigue is now becoming a major safety issue and a very very high risk factor. These safety aspects have to be addresses specially with the demanding Int'l flight rostering and minimum rest provided. we feel that the company has lost its commitment to pilots,its respect of pilots and no longer proactively addresses our grievances.employment contracts are no longer uniform and equitable or fair.IN FACT THE CONTRACT IS BEING VIOLATED BY MANAGEMENT'S OWN AND CONVENIENT INTERPRETATIONS. In the absence of any united front flight ops and HR have started taking advantage of the non solicitation clause,unfortunately they have forgotten that pilots are ' highly skilled workmen'and not unskilled labour.The CEO is too busy " pussy footing" and the airline for him begins and ends with cabin attendant who are deemed to be his right. IndiGo can no longer boast of as a Best place to work for company specially for pilots.In fact it is now the worst airline for pilots to work for..... its either we unite and asset ourselves of continue to be discriminated and just quit in DISGUST. Anumber of us are already on the look out for other jobs and are considering ME&SE Asian Airlines specially after The Emirates Work shop and open houses. Singapore is coming next followed by others as we get to know of any interviews we will let you all know. Pilot placement firms( address avail on the net just google pilot placement) are looking for pilots for China expect at lease 16,000USD Tax free..Let IndiGo try and get its pilots with 30L or 50L or 80 L joining bonus if they desire. The demand for pilots in Asia far exceeds the available supply and this airlines thinks and treats pilots are whores. They seem to forget that its us poor suckers who are flying our buts off and giving them their OTP, safe operations and schedule integrity..... and Not the Cabin Crtew or HR or Finance Or Commercial.If we do not push that throttle.. Gangwal and Bhatia can start an a aircraft leasing company . For how long chums are you going to be screwed and the Air India guys collect a cool 30 L to join and then a full 1 to 2 month salary for sitting on their arses while the "Sahara style Operations Management and Training Dept fiddles while the Airline burns. The Airline is being run by clerks since the pilot managers are to busy politicking. Big boss Mian is to high and mighty and can not be disturbed he is a Vice President. The Chief pilots if contactable only promise to get back to you finally no resolution, on decisions on lectures in perfect English. There is no pilot shortage,. Only pilot utilisation mismanagement, training failures due policy and training slot management. Only 60% of pilots are available to fly the rest are on paid holiday since no body is committed to the airline. We 60% suckers are getting screwed with cancelled leave, differed off days 100 hrs a month and more than 20days a month. A number will be hit the 1000 hour limit. Then perhaps we will get some rest. The Co Pilot are being discriominated against in a big way.A Co Pilot is as important a member of the crew as the Captain then Why are they not entitled to the 11/2 rtration, why are there 3 different co pilot salary structures.. Pilot grouses go on and the spouses are also likelyto go away if we husbands/wifes are absent so long and when home just too god damned tired to do anything but sleep.....Poor Quality of life issues are now wrecking our family lives. We are now getting fed up of bengali babu rumtumtum,school master saleem mian and his band of chum cha executive pilots and the actual bosses who are the training section and roster clerks. If there are other like thinking pilots then just do a copy to all post your comments on this forum site. Theilot personal email data base is only partially complete and will take time to consolidate. you are requested encouraged to forward this mail to as many of your friends who may not be on the '''''To Field''''' The next step is a referendum by mail and then to nominate at least 5 members to start a Pilot welfare society followed by a full blown registered pilot association.... for which the time has come now. pilots can always get protection also by becoming members of any one of the PILOT ASSOCIATIONS. You cam contact Girish Kaushi, former JetAirways who reired at 65 and has open membership to non JetAirways pilots also. ........ long live indigo pilot unity |
Anybody??
An aircraft is maintaining a 5.2% gradient is at 7 NM from the runway, on a flat terrain; its height is approximately: A) 2210 FT Help Appreciated!! |
An aircraft is maintaining a 5.2% gradient is at 7 NM from the runway, on a flat terr
answer is not accurate with the options but is approx.Using Trigonometry
5.2% = 3 degrees 7 min .the horizontal distance is given as 7NM therefore :- In right angle triangle in order to find the Perpendicular we have TAN (angle) = Perpendicular / Base so.... TAN (3 degrees 7 min) = Perpendicular / 7NM X 6080Ft = 2317ft :rolleyes: |
An aircraft is maintaining a 5.2% gradient is at 7 NM from the runway, on a flat terrain; its height is approximately:
A) 2210 FT 5.2 percent gradient is (5.2 / 100 ) * 60 =3.12 degrees solve from here using one in 60 rule u get required answer |
A pilot wishes to turn left on to a northerly heading with 10° bank at a latitude of 50° North. Using a direct reading compass, in order to achieve this he must stop the turn on an approximate heading of:
A) 030° . B) 015° . C) 330° . D) 355° . ans is a does anyone have a formula for this ??? |

34W is correct thanks a lot! :D

Help please
Given:
Position 'A' is N00° E100°, Position 'B' is 240°(T), 200 NM from 'A'. What is the position of 'B'? |
Given: Position A is N00° E100° , Position B is 240° (T), 200 NM from A. What is the position of B?
A) N01° 40 E097° 07 B) S01° 40 E101° 40 C) S01° 40 E097° 07 D) N01° 40 E101° 40 look at the options there can only be one answer ...its right there ....dir is 240 so it cant be in north of the given position...so that leaves u with option b and c sinc ure on 100 E and are going sort of towards west so u end up with something less than 100 deg E ans is c |
Shabez
Thanks man, looks I got so used to putting formulas everywhere that I stopped thinking logically. I'll just pm you next time I have a doubt, I hope you dont mind
