Guidance needed on how to prepare for the , Radio Aids - Oral.

weather its nav or radio aids they ask you basic Questions on ASI VSI etc etc
and 80% jepp questions(including definitions).......

Come on Capts, Please post a couple of questions..

168 Views and only one reply till date :eek:

To a CPL holder without any job, they ask basic questions like VOR, NDB, FM, AM, GPWS, GPS, SSR, TCAS etc etc.
There is nothing fixed and its totally on their mood what they want to ask.
Just study all the topics. You have cleared the written, it should not be difficult to study all of it.
Anyhow the guys are good there, they wont be expecting you to know all the airline operations. Normal stuff. However air nav orals is a bit tougher than Radio one.
Good luck.

Im also giving both Navigation and Radio Aids orals....plz shed some light on the type of questions asked!!
Thanks in Advance

Any Insights on what to expect ?

Sorry guys for interrupting the flow, require suggestion, i appeared for atpl exams-Nav, Radio, met in June 2011 session, cleared nav and met, but couldn't crack the nav interview, so for oct 2011 session, together with radio written i applied for nav interview 2nd attempt. luckily got through radio written this time, but as the interview dates are out, i have only been called for Radio interview, what should i do, as i am pretty sure they won't answer me on phone, or reply to my mails, should i go to R K puram office, would that help

Yep, If your in Delhi, Its always better to pay a visit to the R.K Puram Office.

Since there is ample time, Am sure they should sort it out. :ok:

@ADDY : Absolutely same case with me!!

so did you figure out, what to do. i probably would be going to dgca r k puram tomorrow

If you could share your experience
 

Anybody kind enough to share their ATPL Oral Experience as this thread could be used for everyone's reference preparing for ATPL Orals

Thanks
