Thank you for that simple logical explanation. People somehow don't seem to get the concept.

Cheers

well hopefully the results should be out next week.

Fingers crossed:ok:

Any news for the guys who are directly appearing for the GDs?

@cvchetan

your logic is correct but as per your logic we should add date in this case because
when you are crossing IDL east to west you are actually going from 179W to 179E
think of it...

and original question is

Quote:

A general ques-

When approaching IDL from the east-
a) be prepared to increase your date by 1
b) be prepared to decrease your date by 1

answer is a

dude east to west means 179 e to 179 w.....

do not confuse between day n date....
when u cross IDL from east to west (179E -> 179W) u gain a day n subtract a date because u r going back in time (so to say)
considering the example given above
suppose UTC is 1200 on 12th march then LMT at 179E is 2356 on 12th march & LMT at 179W will be 0004 on 12th march which means the day is about to get over at 179E but it has just started at 179W. So 179W is BEHIND 179E

hope this makes it clear

I figured out why everyone is getting confused with the IDL. The logic applied by everyone is correct, but where we go wrong is interpreting the question. I did that wrong too.

Going east to west(or coming from east) does not mean 179E to 179W. It actually means that you are flying a WESTERLY HEADING and therefore are going from 179W to 179E( or you can imagine Alaska to Russia).

The World Clock – Time Zone Converter

here is the convertor pls try it
date increases

Kindly start a new thread " International date line and time numericals "

I Agree.. go get a new thread!!!

sorry my bad, this should put an end to the IDL Q: International Date Line - All About the International Date Line

well now the post of Trainee First Officer has been removed from jet airways website.:ugh::ugh:

hopefully the results should be out sometime this week, fingers crossed, good luck everyone! :ok:

@ hawaijahaj
that doesn't come as a surprise, the advertisement wasn't going to be on their website forever, so it was expected

@hawaijahaj
from where did your comment come into this discussion?You seem to have no sense.
Just beat it u bum

Haha You amuse me Ilovefly , you should read the title of the thread then say anything. This thread is meant for the updates on the post of 'Jet Airways Trainee First Officer' and not for the Bull**** about International Date Line. Should start a new thread for that.I think you guys jumped in with IDL thing.:D:D

@hawaijahaj
I agree with you buddy...lot of people here are discussing their own theoretical doubts rather than providing any good information about the process.
This thread is seriously not doing any good,unlike august attempt,in which the thread was very informative and the candidates got a lot of help from it.

I am not pointing towards any individual but this is the truth!!!

i was just going through different air accidents/incidents which might be useful for gd (incase i make it), and i came across one incident by jet airways itself. i'm not sure many people have heard of it, certainly i haven't, very interesting indeed! here goes:-
"On 1 July 2007, Jet Airways Flight 3307, a ATR 72-212A (registered VT-JCE) which was flying on the Bhopal-Indore route was involved in an accident which was caused by a storm. There were no fatalities amongst the 45 passengers and 4 crew onboard, however the aircraft suffered damages beyond repair."
anyone here heard of this incident before or can shed some light on it? thanks! :cool:

SUMMARY

ATR 72-212A aircraft VT -JCE operated by M/s Jet Airways was operating
schedule flight sectors Delhi–Bhopal–Indore–Delhi on 1.7.2007. The flight
up-till approach to land at Indore was normal. On coming to the runway the
aircraft touched down moderately hard and bounced high. The Pilots were
perhaps determined to salvage the abnormal situation and added Power to
the Engines with intention to cushion the sink-rate and settle the runway. On
the contrary, aircraft came hard on the RWY and bounced once again. This
got followed with a series of bounces in succession. While bouncing the
aircraft migrated from the runway and finally came to full halt on right side
close to airport boundary wall. There was no fire in the accident.

The probable cause of the accident

:
The Pilot-in-Command in absence of bounce recovery guidance adopted
self-perceived technique and kept on adding engine power along with
aircraft Pitch manipulations to salvage the aircraft from the bounce on
landing, and gravely damaged the aircraft structure

Factor: Pilot.
