EGPWS
 

Could anyone clarify about Mode 6 and 7 in EGPWS.

Mode 7 is for windshear alert below 1500 feet and gives windshear warning both during approach and takeoff.

similarly, Mode 6 gives bankangle warning. Is the bank angle warning only during approach or also during t/o?

i think it would be both

Mode 6. Bank Angle warning in any phase of flight.

Mode 6 - MINIMUMS/ALTITUDE ALERTS/BANK ANGLE.

Does anyone know for sure, the process from here on?
Would we have the Interview the next day if we clear GD successfully??
What would be after the Interview and when does the next round happen(as per last time)??
When is the Sim check and medical test if one clears GD and PI??

@IT aviator
 

After you appear for your GD, you will receive the results for the same the next day and if you clear it,you will have to appear for the interview the next day...ie there will be a gap of one day between GD and PI...
You will receive the results for the PI a week after all the interviews are over...then u will start getting calls for sim check which takes a while(could be even one and a half month later)...sim checks results are dispatched in a week's time...
And after all that done you will get the call for medicals 10days before your training batch has to start...
That's what happened last time...Also try n refer to last year's forum...its quite informative..

EGPWS
 

I am getting different replies from different people.

Bank angle warning comes below 150 feet AGL for sure. But I have heard from some that it is only during approach and some that it is in both t/o and approach.

Are people replying sure that it is in both phases?

@sky_thebeginning
 

Greatly appreciate the precise answer..
However I could not find the last years link on PPRune!!

EGPWS
 

Mode 6 of EFPWS of Excessive Bank Angle gives warning both during T/O and Landing....as well as during the phase of the flight.

can people from the august 2010 session list down precisely the topics that were discussed during last time's gd? it would be really helpful, thanks :)

there were five gds, following is the list of topics given to me

1) 4 situations related to flying
i) smoke in aircraft
ii) delayed departure
iii) extra fuel consumption in first xc solo flight
don't remember the forth

2) A debate on to "much automation in flying" .... good or bad

3) A case was given we were supposed to read and discuss on it (smoke in flight and landing)

4) again a case of accident was given we were supposed to find out the cause of accident

5) A list of ten things was given we were supposed to arrange it as per their priority in case of crash in himalaya mountain.

@IT aviator
 

Hey....Check ur pm for the link

@3443 nautical miles
thanks for the input, what do you think went wrong for you during last time's gd and what would you have done differently? why do you think you didn't get selected? any other useful tips?

the letter says that be what you are and that is where we made mistake last time ,we stopped being ourselves in rush to get the job.......:)

Earlier question
 

I skipped a vital sentence from one of my earlier questions by mistake. I apologise. Here is the full question:

An INS equipped a/c flies from 56 N 20 W (waypoint 3) to 56 N 30 W (waypoint 4). With constant drift during flight the a/c heading will:

a) increase by more than 10 degree
b) decrease by less than 10 degree
c) increase by less than 10 degree
d) remain constant

Answer: b (How less than 10 degree?)

My explanation: Departure=335.516 NM

ERW comes to -12.435 degrees/ hr

TW = GS /60 * tan lat

How to calculate GS ?

are such numerical problems actually asked in the personal interview? isn't it purely theoretical?
