Paper was relatively easy .

Lots of questions taken from oxford ATPL ( word for word although one option might be deleted )

Most of the questions copied from JAA ATPL question banks

100 questions 1 mark each

About 5-7 questions out of syllabus

These include TCAS , GPWS , Flight Director , VOR coupled Autopilot question ,
All these are not in the syllabus for CPL as per new syllabus updated in June 2011

A question on scales no matter how hard i tried could not match the answer with any of the options given ( not even close )

Q. On a map 7cm represents 40nm . Find the scale of the map . Can someone solve this for me ?


25/100 questions came from MET
A metar was given and 3 question were based on the given METAR
3 questions based on Indian Climatology

@VT-ASM

I got the same answer when i solved the question

However none of the options came anywhere near the 4 options given

The closest was 1:150,000 and the rest were even higher

I had mentioned everything on the objection sheet regarding outside syllabus but i couldnt mention this question as the Invigilator did permit me to finish it once 3 hours was up

@tanyaa
There were 100 question in all
So each and every question was 1 mark each

Hard to say untill i see my result . Yes 70 is easy because you have to get 31 or more questions wrong in order to fail .
I usually end up making silly mistakes hopefully i wont this time

Compare that to the earlier attempt when the first 10 questions were 2 marks each was more easier to fail

If you want ace the DGCA exams here are my reference guides

Oxford ATPL ( Solve all the questions in the back )
GSP books ( question bank very important )
Keith Williams ( General Nav and Instrumentation book )

And last but not the least this website

Aviation Training

Choose JAA ATPL as thats where the DGCA get its questions from

The previous two attempt the first 10 questions were 2 marks each and the rest were 1 mark each .

This time there were 100 questions . The marking scheme was not mentioned on the paper so I am assuming all questions were 1 mark each .

The DGCA keeps changing the marking pattern from attempt to attempt

Thats what the DGCA says when it comes to the exam result , 1 month .

Last time the result came out in 1 and half months ( 6 weeks )

After 1 month you have to keep checking the website everyday....
