avalanche, I have borrowed a book from my friend
Aircraft Manual 2007 Volume-I
On page157, bottom of page
On the next page, 3.2.1.2 is missing, maybe deleted.
But that 3.2.1.2 is still on the website as the section 3 link given by you.
Did u get that by searching DGCA website?
Aircraft Manual 2007 Volume-I
On page157, bottom of page
3.1.8 Formation Flights
No civil aircraft shall be flown in formation
No civil aircraft shall be flown in formation
But that 3.2.1.2 is still on the website as the section 3 link given by you.
3.2.1.2. Aircraft shall not be flown in formation except by pre-arrangement with the appropriate Air Traffic Service Unit.

@aditya:
i must say sir excellent observation
and yes whatever u have said is correct
yes i did find the rule by searching on dgca site
so basically it looks like this whole section is modified
but then one thing which is bothering me is that still military aircrafts can fly in formation.
so formation flying can still be done over india
but then i guess dgca forgot to update this rule
a very big confusion indeed

Ok Avalanche, hold your breathe.................
I will clear the air of all confusion.................
DGCA stands for Directorate General oF CIVIL Aviation
We are civil aviation pilots. We need to know only the civil aviation rules. My Regulations Ground theory teacher used to say, military can do anything. these rules don't apply to them. Military can kill, we can not
Moving on, maybe the Landing Tariff page is expired. maybe. because its only coming up on searches can't get there otherwise. Also, what are your thoughts on Emergency landings. They are not exempt from paying landing charges according to that page. They should be exempt.

well your teacher might be true
but then i never took any classes and studied on my own through all the cars and aircrfat rules and the bali book for air regs
so these are bible for me
well yes dgca deals with only civil aviation, but then what about other aviation
who deals with them
i dont think there is any other organistaion to deal with abviation
however i really cant comment more on this because as deep you go in, you will find yourself more in darkness.
well still what i would consider for myself is that if in question word civil is written then i will write no formation is allowed or else i would go for the other option
this is purely my opinion which may subject to change *
*conditions apply
well apart from air regs can anyone post questions related to meteorology as i would love to have an active discussion on that.
do you have any questions of met with you sir

Where in the CARs or elsewhere (any other DGCA-related document), can I find information about:
1. When an operator can permit a person to fly as PIC (like for example, only if in the last 90 or 30 days, he has flown.....) and when they can permit him to fly as PIC on a particular route.
2. Minimum distance one should stay away from jet blast or something like that
3. Hypoxia, Fatigue and other human factors related information
4. Takeoff alternate aerodrome
5. ETOPS
What information/data can one find in the Route Guide and Operations Manual, and what data can one find in the AIP and AIC?
I guess, what I want to know is/are the differences between them.
For instance, instrument approach charts are part of what?
And, if we want to know the watch hours of a station, we should look at what.
In what specific document on the DGCA site does DGCA update the air regulations?
Thanks

@avalanche, plz don't call me "Sir" 
I suggest start a new thread for Met questions, where others can also contribute, leave this one for Regulations.
hats off to u for studying it by urself
@matthew
1.See privileges of CPL(A)
Subject to the validity of endorsements and ratings in the licence
To act as PIC of an aircraft AUW<5700Kg
when passengers are to be carried at night, he shall have carried out within a period of six months immediately preceding the date of the intended flight not less than ten take-offs and ten landings by night as Pilot-in-Command
Nothing given about carrying passengers during the day, assume can do that for renumeration while the licence is valid without restrictions.
another more restriction is there if he wants to fly as a co-pilot, a transport aircraft, AUW>5700KGs, he must have done a proficiency check on that acft within last 6 months.
2 minimum distance to stay away from Jet Blast is in the bible. We will now call those books BIBLE hereon. No disrespect to Bhagvadgita.
I don't have the BIBLE with me, so ...................
3Human Factors related information shouldn't be in the CARs..........think so. only use of psychoactive substances and alcohol.
4.Things like alternate aerodrome minima are found in AIP in Australia. Can't find DGCA AIP on the website. Anybody know if its up there?
5ETOPS
Extended Range Operations with Twin Engined Airplanes
Requirements for ETOPS operations are given in CAR Section 2, Series ‘O’ Part VIII
AIP has information which is of lasting character, doesn't change that often. Like the procedures. AIC is circulars. If DGCA wants to tell everyone about some issue, it could b about safety.
Dunno what is Route Guide. Can anyone shed some light on that plz?

1. While maintaining a FL of 100 (at 1013.25 hPa), and flying from low pressure to high pressure area, your a/c altimeter will indicate:
a. Lower than FL100
b. Higher than FL100
c. FL100 only
My ANS: C
My understanding to this is that when you are using a constant barometric pressure setting (1013.25 hPa) in the altimeter window, the a/c altimeter will always show the same altitude. The actual a/c altitude may be different depending on whether you are flying from low to high or high to low. In this scenario, you are flying a FL, which means that you have a constant pressure setting in your altimeter, as you pass from one pressure area to another (No changing the altimeter pressure setting).
Hence the term "High to low, look out below" and "Low to high, clear the sky". If you are flying altitudes, you should reset the altimeter setting as you pass to a different pressure area, so that your altimeter will show correct altitude. But if you are flying FL, the altimeter will always show the same FL.
What do you guys think?

Your answer and explanation on FL is correct and "I" think a better and easier way to remember it is:
From HIGH TO LOW READ HIGH and FROM LOW TO HIGH READ LOW
H-L-H L-H-L

all this stuff is pointless, gave the regs exam today. Barely anything from Regs was asked.. not a single question on semi circular system, rules nothing.... Most of it was ADM, JAA, FAA and stuff about myopia, exploded ear drums, etc

Absolutely BS! Exam for July attempt air regs. I have studied countless quality time on this. Reviewed Bali like 3 times line By line. Studied and revised more than 800 questions on surinder, duggal Seth. This exam is designed to fail.
Example: what is environmental capture?
Where in the hell is that topic from.
You have to really apply your mind to pass. What do we use logic or dgca logic. All the four seems right. Those is coming from me whose studied too much.
A company operates s cargo charter, what is it categorized under
a. Private transport
b. Public transport
c. Aerial work
d. None of the above
I have heard this dgca loves D as an option so please don't give me tht look.
Whatever, I am miffed at so called dgca pass/fail ratio. They don't want pilots.

Couple more questions from previous attempt:
1. An aircraft is to ferry an engine:
a) Conditions must be VMC throughout the flight
b) Conditions must be VMC for take off and landing
c) Can't remember
2. Something about whether a 4 engined aircraft with 1 engine INOP can continue flight to its destination.
I can't remember the exact wording of the questions. Does anyone know where I can find info on these topics?
