DGCA Air Regulation Qs

[LOFT]

@avalanche007
1) Quote "refer air regulations book by wing commander bali chapter rules of air page 55."

Well i have the 2008 revised edition and it says chapter 6 SIGNALS, on pg 55. Also checked out the Rules of Air section, couldnt find it!

2) Quote "wel if you sure that he did not create rules on his own then why did he get this thing printed to make it more simpler name out all the ats routes which are in class f airspace using your aip as reference"

Well that is what i said, with all due respect, even the author refers the AIP to get his info. So if its mentioned in the AIP as class G, then it is class G. and not class E, coz having a typo is pretty common in the books. I hope you understand this.

3) Quote "and how do u know that dgca is also thinking the same thing you intend to fly controlled flights, but then dgca doesnt intends you to do so. so you see many situations can arise"

Well if you have a look at the AIP, and refer the sections, also if you refer the CAR, you will find your answer as to what is dgca interested in.

4) Quote "as you said dgca are not so dumb people that they will make rules for aerodromes and they will write flights in the paper"

Kindly elaborate your point.

5) Quote "but still i think the rvsm is valid from fl290 to fl410 only however ifr flights are allowed to fly till fl460 this is what i have seen in the rules of the air and in a circular by dgca
would you like to comment??"

Told you to check my previous post. Already Explained.

Good Luck

1) Well i have the 2008 revised edition and it says chapter 6 SIGNALS, on pg 55. Also checked out the Rules of Air section, couldnt find it!

check out the 5th chapter what is its name. check the last page of the 5th chapter
you will find cruising levels chart and below that the the statement is made regarding transition between quad and semicircular rule

and you still havent answered my question which i asked you about that situation. that can explain everything, why dont you try it. u have ignored it in this post also and last post as well


2) Well that is what i said, with all due respect, even the author refers the AIP to get his info. So if its mentioned in the AIP as class G, then it is class G. and not class E, coz having a typo is pretty common in the books. I hope you understand this.

i dont really think, and if that would be the case then he would have rectified it. making the typo in all editions seems to be useless.

still u havent answered my question
which all ats routes are there in class f airspace name them, u missed my this question also


3) Well if you have a look at the AIP, and refer the sections, also if you refer the CAR, you will find your answer as to what is dgca interested in.

so in cars is it written that whener dgca asks such question in exam it means for controlled aircrafts only. wow. i never knew that. and if that would be the case and dgca would be favouring only controlled flights then they wont have come up with rules for uncontrolled flights or aerodromes at all

4)Kindly elaborate your point.

what i meant was in aircraft rules 1937 they mention validity of flight plans for controlled and uncontrolled aerodromes and in the question they are mentioning controlled and uncontrolled flights.

so as what you have said that dgca isnt dumb so they might not come up with such a typo at all. so there are high chances that the question might be different and it has been memorized in a different manner. and if you dont believe then you are contradicting yourself here

@avalanche

1) Quote "check out the 5th chapter what is its name. check the last page of the 5th chapter
you will find cruising levels chart and below that the the statement is made regarding transition between quad and semicircular rule"

It says table 5.3 Semi circular levels in Non RVSM airspaces.
Do you even have a Bali Book?

2) Quote "i dont really think, and if that would be the case then he would have rectified it. making the typo in all editions seems to be useless."

Wow man, how many editions you got. Remember that the book is for the reference and not for following blindly. AIP is where it derives its information from and thats how it will be, whether you accept it or not.

3) Quote "which all ats routes are there in class f airspace name them, u missed my this question also"

Well i didnt miss it, i didnt consider worth answering. Anyways you can Refer AIP ENR 2.1.1 and you will get a bunch of them in there.

4) Quote "so in cars is it written that whener dgca asks such question in exam it means for controlled aircrafts only. wow. i never knew that. and if that would be the case and dgca would be favouring only controlled flights then they wont have come up with rules for uncontrolled flights or aerodromes at all"

i have not mentioned that DGCA is interested in controlled flights. I have said that i am interested in controlled flights with respect to the question mentioned, and i said what dgca is interested in is any bodys guess, and that you could find it in the AIP and CAR.

4) Quote "what i meant was in aircraft rules 1937 they mention validity of flight plans for controlled and uncontrolled aerodromes and in the question they are mentioning controlled and uncontrolled flights.

so as what you have said that dgca isnt dumb so they might not come up with such a typo at all. so there are high chances that the question might be different and it has been memorized in a different manner. and if you dont believe then you are contradicting yourself here"

I really want to laugh out loud after reading this post. Hahaha ...Well if you think that its a typo, then all the best, you can continue to do so. But let me ask you something,Havent you come across controlled and uncontrolled flights, and controlled and uncontrolled aerodromes to consider it as a typo? hahaha. dude you really made my day with that post...

Cheers

[avalanche007]

well if u want to select controlled flights for the answer so i want to consider that the question could be a typo not on part of dgca but on the part of the student who might have memorized it or copied

did i ever laughed inspite others criticized, that you were the alone who was choosing controlled flights for the answer just because u want to fly controlled flights

i thought that we were discussing and not having fun
but you took it the other way around.

no words for your this behaviour.
lemme tell you one thing. if you dont want to discuss and just want to have fun then i m out of this thread.

and till now you havent answered my question, even in your 3rd post.
i guess you wont either because you have no other options left also. so in that case its time to change your answers for the first 2 questions on quad and semicircualr rule.
in this whole thread you are the alone who is saying that answer and without a valid explanation, seems like from nowhere.

so stop misguiding people, or else prove your answer for the quad and semicircular system

and also for your ready refernence
there were many new ats routes formed in 2009
and they have been classified as class e or class d airspace
what is your bet on this
and this info i got from aip supplements and its of 2009 so more recent and its official

check this out if you still dont believe

[jimmygill]

and sorry last one, ATS routes are class D in India... use google its your friend!

I suggest you use the EDIT button on your post!

@itsbrokenagain
Google, is that how you get information about regulations in your state.
How professional.

If you can't learn on your own, there is no harm learning from kids willing to help.

[jimmygill]

Dear friend itsbrokenagain,

Don't get frustrated, what you got is what you can show, even if it happens to be an one liner.

BTW omniscient google cannot search these websites
1. The websites who don't give google permission to search
2. The websites which do not exist

Learn while you can, and if you are older be aware you have little while left, so make good use and get rid of prejudices.

Or else it will keep breaking again and again.

Have fun.

[jimmygill]

your still an idiot jimmy, especially as you dont know how to make google search thru the documents on these sites!!

ps I am having fun, or cant you tell... and thanks, I still have 35 year until retirement!

I have been an Idiot for a few decades. Did you expect any change Sir? In 1 hr and 3 minutes. Just interacting with you is not going to make me any better.

But before I got my first Indian license, I knew ATS route are classified as F airspace here, and I know my ATS manual says that too.

So why should I google and find incorrect information, and trust that source and be fool enough to go around preaching misinformation, that too in a highly arrogant manner. And not apologise even after realising that I am wrong.

If you are left with 35, I recommend make good use of what you are left and learn something before you return to civilization.

Have a Happy Retirement

PS; Please don't remind me of how idiotic I am, because next few hours or days aren't going to change me remarkably. But thats me, its not true for you, you can change a lot, learning humility is a matter of seconds.

[aditya104]

Inference: Google is hoi polloi's best friend. Not yet Jimmy's

[itsbrokenagain]

i removed my posts from here, its seems you boys are taking it all to heart and as its inciting you to write things that could harm your future, so for you I am removing them.

thanks for playing, but please be careful about writing threats and remarks about others on a forum, it may haunt your future.

@aditya:
sir yes our answers dont match on that
and frankly speaking i am not 100% sure too
its just that i have seen many aic on dgca site stating amendment to aircraft rules 1937. even you can have a look. so thought aic could be the answer

still i am not sure and would love to have a correct answer with a source

[matthewgamm]

Thanks a bunch for confirming most of the answers!

I thought that, "To an aircraft, a red flag on top of ATC building means nothing, and if this question was asked like 'A red flag on top of ATC building means flying in progress'.
Is the answer 'flying in progress' if this question is asked as 'To a pilot, a red flag means..'?
