@flyjet

noted !:ok:

... (P.S there could be lots of typos ... Been typing those off my head in the wee hours of the morning !)

And what about the money spent?

@ jimmygill,

That was for the laborious task of remembering and sharing with all, some of the questions that were asked during the "assessment". :ok:

Hey any idea when the interviews are to be held?:}

And the modus operandi was:

If you don't know the answer leave it unmarked, Parul will mark the correct choice for you, provided you are in her good books.

Am I lying?
Am I just making sure that people get discouraged and I can sit for the exam with least competition?

But seriously speaking there are better uses to 375 USD than the Indigo Assessment.

jimmygill

u r damn right!:sad:

Im impressed jimmy!
I dont know if u guessed or what, but you're cent percent correct:ok:

I got this email also but did not go for this lousy fraud exam.
(Im pastin the email below)

Does anyone know how much these candidates earn as a salary once you join them as a junior co pilot ?

Also how much would you earn once you are upgraded to a fully fledged co-pilot and how long would that take ?

Is it worth paying $31,000 :( for the type rating ?

If you read the FAQ's even if i have 5000 hrs of pure jet time (as a co-pilot on a non airbus family)
i still have to pay atleast $20,000 for the type rating to CAE if i want to join them :eek: :ugh::(

Would really appreciate it if someone who appeared for the CAE exam today share their experience and the type of questions they encountered.
Thanks

Can someone post when next indigo assessment is going to happen?

I think they will decide in a few days time and sent out the mails ... at least thats been the pattern till date

Questions
 

Assessment on the 2nd of May 100 questions, 70 % passing:

1. A Mercator Chart on a parallel 46 deg N, the Chart distance is 133 cms. What will be the scale factor at 36 deg N/S lat?

2. Departure questions X 2 nos. having the 1st position followed by 4 different legs in NM calculate the final position.

3. PET and PSR questions with G/S already calculated 1 each

4. Lots of Human Factors 15 questions.

5. Metrology atleast 15 questions.
a. Metar's X 2 nos. on RVR

4 Flying @ FL 22000 decent to 4000 Ft. G/S 150 kts. what will be the ROD?

5. Mode C transponder can be operated in :
A. Control airspace
B. Uncontrolled airspace and to be turned on when ATC instructs
c. Should be on at all times while flying
d. Should be on at all times while flying, but can be asked by the ATC to shut down.

6. Calculate range of 2 VOR's

7. Lambert conical chat X 2 questions.

8. CRM X 4 questions.

9. Radio aids like TCAS, SSR, Primary radar, DME atleast 8 to 10 questions.

Overall the question paper wasn't that bad except few of tricky HF and CRM. Out of 80 people only 4 cleared. I don't think selection criteria is 70 % it is above that which CAE doesn't wasn't to mention as they won't get as much business as they would otherwise.

I personally think it waste of Money to pay 375 USD to them for a LOI?......
