damn..! tht was easy, i made it complicated
thanks frnd :)

@stalwart2010
m not sure abt the 1st and 3rd but heres the solution for 2nd one

ellipticity of the Earth = (axis at equator - axis at pole) / axis equator

1/277 = (6378.4 - x )/ 6378.4

it gives x = 6 356.9

:)

@stalwart2010
2nd one :)

A 45° N 14° 12W
B 45° N 12° 48E?

here convergency = Dlong x sin mean lat
= 27 x sin 45
19deg
therefore CA = 9.5
A to B, R/L track is 90deg, applying CA in northern hemisphere gives 80,4° (T)


i hope this helps

@stalwart2010
 

1st one
the change of track btn any two points on great circle is equal to the convergency of the meridians btn those two points
so in this quest.
convgny=7°xsin 60 =6.06°
so the great circle track inc by approx 6°:ok:

Thanx Uniform and Capt.Ace!

@Capt.Ace
I understand the C=6 degrees but the co-ordinates are in the SH.In the SH the GC track should decrease..why is it increase by 6 degrees?

Those of you who have written the IndiGo-CAE exam before
 

Have they asked questions on: EFIS, ECAM, FMS, FDR, CVR, Auto Throttle, Auto Pilot ?

Please do let us know. I went through the questions posted here but none of them have mentioned this! Just checking again with you guys. Thanks

questions are CPL level
 

none of the above were asked for.. study dgca cpl syllabus... human factors, airlaw, aerodynamics, nav, engines ...

When r d exarms??

EFIS , EICAS , ECAM and FMS are part of the new DGCA syllabus . Its part of the nav syllabus

Engines?
They have never asked GTE based question.
Just a Piston Based question here or there in recent exams.

Till now they have asked simple visual based question on EFIS & and basic FMS principle.

New updated syllabus is being followed since May Attempt.

Cyril - You just need Valid Class 1 & CPL ( ME IR Endorsed ).
They have even called pilots with lapsed RTR in May ( Me :E ).

Thanks for answering my questions guys

However I do have another one


Is there negative marking for the IndiGo written exam ?

I know Jet Airways does


Also could someone pm me a copy of the initial email calling for written interview
Edit : someone has send me the email

Thanks

Hey guys,
I just got a call for the july attempt going to be held on the 28th and 29th. This is the first Indigo written i will be sitting for, was wondering if i could get the questions which came in the last few attempts.
Thanks alot.

Guess it's confirmed then! July attempt taking place in July itself, on 28 and 29th of July.

@Spitfire88 - Seems you are one of the first to get the call letter. You are on 28th or 29th?
