can anybody confirm whether the exams are on 8,9 and 10th only and not on 11th and 12th of April 2013.....?????

all five days. 8th 9th 10th 11th and 12th of april

@bhambri
 

Thanks for the info friend...... :O

can anyone solve this please
 

A great circle track joins position A (59° S 141° W) and B (61° S 148° W). What is the difference between the great circle track at A and B?
A) It decreases by 6° .
B) It increases by 6° .
C) It increases by 3° .
D) It decreases by 3° .

ive used the ca formula 1/2 dlong times sin(mean of lat)..so my answer comes to 3 degrees but i dont know if its increasing or decreasing.

@iceman89
It has to do with convergency between two longitudes and therefore the answer is B) It increases by 6° , as it's in the southern hemisphere .

thank you sir for clearing that up! so convergency increases in the southern hemishere,i have to study more upon this subject.but thank you!

@iceman89,

No, convergency does not increase in the SH . In this example you're going west from 141 to 148 in the SH , that's the reason GC track increases by 6 degrees. If you draw it out with a rhumbline track you'll be better able to understand what I'm saying.

In the southern hemisphere, the convergency decreases as you travel from west to east. And it increases as you fly east to west (which is the case here).

calculate using the formula, Convergency = dlong * sin (mean lat)

and not the CA one as CA is just the angle between the rhumb line track the great circle track.

guys appearing on 8,9,10,11 of april, please share details about the exams... thank you

Hows was d xam guys who appeard for todays writtens??

Will b helpful if any1 can post few questions frm todays xam...

Indigo exam - 8th
 

hey guys,

Here is what i can re-collect. Pardon the randomness.. this is just the basic idea:

1. Regulations:
- Radio Failure : transponder codes
- IFR minimum altitudes: In Mountainous and Uncontrolled airspace.
- IFR Flight: Doesn't want advisory service so do you need to file a flight plan.
- Transition Level/Altitude: When do you change over
- Light Gun signals: Flashing green
- Double White cross on ground
- Basic radio phraseology- for readback and requesting information

2. Met:
- Frontal Fog
- Katabatic / Valley winds
- Basic numericals on standard atomsphere: ex. At FL140 temp is X, assuming std atm, what would be the temp at FL110
- What will be the height on 500 mb level in temperate latitudes

3. Instrumentation
- ASI: Blockage errors.
- Altimeter: Blockage errors
- Radio Altimeter: Does it measure true height or true altitude
- Basic on ADC
- Magnetic Compass Errors: Westerly Acceleration in Southern Hemisphere.

4. Radio Aids:
- VOR range : 2-3 questions. Basic numericals. Flight level given or height of aircraft & station given.
- NDB: basic 1:60 numericals. A/c is 3nm left of course at given distance, by how much should you turn and in what direction.

5.G-Nav:
- Departure Numericals: 2-3 questions - Basic ones
- Convergency. Basic numerical.

6. Human Factors:
- Circadian Lows
- communications in the cockpit
- Optimum Arousal
- Laissez Faire cockpit
- Anderson Model
- hyperventilation

7. This part I wasn't expecting to be as extensive as it was.
Aerodynamics
- Winglets - Purpose
- Sweptback wing: Lateral stability same as equivalent straight wing/ CL lower or higher than equivalent straight wing.
- Lots and lots and Lots of questions on CG (Not numericals.. theory)
- Fowler flap extension on T-tail a/c: nose up/nose down moment?
- Neutral Stability wrt to CG
- 2-3 questions on AOA
- How does induced drag vary with Airspeed
- A/c on the ground, through what point does the weight act?
- Effects of leading edge slats
And a few more that my brain seems to have blocked out.. hopefully some one else can fill in the blanks.


All the best..

@capax_infiniti: thanks for the questions, when do they plan to declare the result, and would it be date-wise or a combined result with normalizing the scores of all the candidates ?

No clue about whether the scores are going to be normalized.
As for the result- when asked, their reply was standard.. "You will be informed via email"

@capax_infiniti
 

Thnx for the info...Appreciate your help..

capax_infiniti

Thanks buddy


& did u got any idea that till when u can expect the mail from them.

can u solve this
 

What will be the height on 500 mb level in temperate latitudes. I didnt understand this question could u explain pls...

@ flyhigh21

500hpa = 18,000 ft

how
 

can u explain pls.

nothing to explain, just to remember

and go through this
