@pkboeing

I've so been waiting for the day I could type this message to you. So here goes....

A recent email from Jet to a candidate from the 2013 batch clearly states:

We would like to inform you that we are in the process of placing the candidates who have been shortlisted in 2010-2011 and hence it would take some reasonable amount of time before we would commence the training / induction for the candidates shortlisted in the 2013-2014 selection process

So I guess it's safe to say now that your so called "expedited" theory of the 2014 type rated candidates is incorrect. Where are those written results you're awaiting by the way? How long has it been -- 9 months and still no sign of them? That doesn't quite define "expedited" according to me

Anyway, the next set of "non-type rated" people from 2011 are likely to be called up in the next couple of months, so hopefully that should put any lingering doubts of yours to rest

Like I said to you earlier, it's going to be a long wait for you. A very very long wait. So I suggest that you keep yourself busy with something else rather than coming up with the most absurd and baseless rumors on here. Good luck! :ok:

Could you give an idea as to when Jet is going to proceed?

Thx

@Skyblade

24 out of 42 of the type rated lot of 2011 have already been called up to sign the contract. As and when all of them have been inducted, then we'll see the next set of non-type rated candidates being set for their type rating. I'd have to say, not later than August.

@aroumika : u have been waiting to write and i have been DYING to see ur words....so much of eagerness i never had in my life...:).It seems that i have started falling for ur words..
why u start jumping pre maturely..start learning to hold ur horses...
Its good to know that 2011 candidates will be called and send for their rating within a couple of months...:ok:
In the quote that u have posted which was sent by jet HR one thing is not clear...first its says that it will take reasonable amount of time for the 2013/2014 candidates for their induction/training..2014 candidates are not even being shortlisted till now..Secondly,it dosent say that 2014 rated candidates..Thirdly,Since they are saying 2013/2014 shortlisted candidates,it is quite possible that they are talking abt those candidates who gave the exam in 2013 and failed in one of the rounds and then RE RE and got shortlisted in 2014...
I am not saying that 2014 ab initio candidates will be inducted before 2013...no..Its only the rated of 2014 candidates who will put on a fast track...And if this mail which was sent by Jet's HR was for 2014 candidates then they would have sent a mail to all the candidates of 2014 stating that the result which u all have been waiting it will take reasonable amount of time..But they didnt....After declaring the result they will put rated on a fast track an the ab initio will go acc to the pace...

Let the results be declared and then u will see whether my expedited theory of rated candidates is correct or.....u will never b able to see the expedited theory..In 2013 rated were expedited u must not have seen..correct..I asked u earlier also give me an answer that WHY 2013 rated were expedited u never gave me an answer..so u will never b able to see..i knw that..:D

There are no lingering doubt that i have within me.I think its the other way round...Its for sure that rated candidates 2014 would be expedited...Let the remaining 18(2011)+4(2013) rated candidates be inducted...Then u see..Results will be declared...have patience....since u think that i am spreding baseless rumors in this forum then yes i am coz its a rumor network and i love to spread rumors...have fun...:ok::D

@pkboeing

Jumping prematurely? You're kidding me right? The words have come from Jet Airways management itself. Where's the question of jumping prematurely? If there's anyone who has to hold on to their horses, it's you my dear friend. You have a long long wait ahead of you.

Secondly, no they're not talking about the 2013 candidates who are waiting to re-appear for any round. There are no such candidates left. Everyone who has failed some round or the other, has already been called up to re-appear. That goes to show how little you know about what's going on with the whole process. That's where the first paragraph of the mail comes in, which I didn't quote earlier:

As you are aware, you have already cleared the simulator screening process and awaiting pre-employment medical exam

These guys, (unlike you), have almost cleared the whole process! :ugh:

If they want to put the 2014 type rated candidates on a fast track, then where are the written exam results? Why can't they start this expedited process now itself? What's taking them so long? What are they waiting for?

I asked u earlier also give me an answer that WHY 2013 rated were expedited u never gave me an answer..so u will never b able to see..i knw that..

I have already given the answer of this question to you TWICE in my previous posts. Perhaps, may be if you OPEN YOUR EYES a little bit more and care to properly read what I say, you would have seen my reply by now. But just for your sake, I'll give you the answer again:

When the 2013 type rated candidates were called up, there was an urgent requirement which suddenly came up at the time, which the Jet management did not foresee. So instead of getting the non-type rated candidates of 2011 rated and online (which would take time), the easier and faster option was to directly induct the 2013 type rated people. Unfortunately for you and the other 2014 rated candidates, no such urgent requirement exists at the moment, and the management is now ready to take on the 2011 non-type rated candidates as and when the requirement comes up. I've finally answered your question in detail! :ok:

Let the remaining 18(2011)+4(2013) rated candidates be inducted. Where are you getting these numbers from?

If there's anything that's obvious from this thread, there are two types of candidates waiting to join this airline:

1) Candidates like those in the 2011 batch, who have waited week after week, month after month and year after year (now 4 years and counting), with still plenty of hope and patience

2) And then candidates like you, who get themselves a rating, write the first round exam, and are already thinking about being inducted before people who have cleared the process ages ago. You don't even know if you're going to pass the written exam or not. If by God's grace and your own efforts you do pass, you still have to make it through 4 challenging rounds after that. You may or may not make it through the whole process, do you realize that? You speak as if you're guaranteed to clear the whole thing! :ugh:

8th Jun 2015, 18:11

@aroumika

First of all I'm not here not debate but again I would like to make it clear that we wrote the paper to pass and we really worked hard for it and will do in all the respective rounds like u did in 2011 n then what happened , u waited for 4 yrs .I'm really sorry to say mate but it is not our fault that you waited so long , I'm sure there were many opputunities in between which you missed. I know many friends from 2013 batch who did not wait for jet n joined indigo so please don't say it again n again that we waited for 4 yrs. Secondly yes there is a difference between type rated n non type rated if u can understand we are ready pilots where as you are not so relax it will take less time for any company to work on us then you guys now getting back to the jet recruitment personally I would really want to join jet at the earliest n believe me I will not loose hopes by something written by you but again if I don't get this opportunity in the near future then unlike you I would not wait for it. Like I said earlier I'm rated on 737 n I have passed my indigo exam as well when the time comes I will again do the endorsement on Airbus without thinking that I should wait for jet for 4 yrs , I hope u got it mate n best of luck for ur induction ......

but one thing i would like to say tmrw if rated candidates(2014) are put on a fast track then HAVE THE BLOODY GUTS TO COME AND WRITE ON THIS THREAD THAT YES PKBOEING U WERE RIGHT IN CAPITAL LETTERS...If things happen whatever u r saying then I WILL WRITE MISS AROUMIKA WAS RIGHT IN CAPITAL..Whatever info u know act accordingly and whatever i knw i will act accordingly...Now lets bring this discussion to an END..

Sandeep 737 : its useless explaining them.. u will b banging ur head against a wall and theyt will also say the same thing..U and i know that rated guys will be put on a fast track and the rest of the ab initio guys (2011) will be sent for their training side by side..lets wait for the time..hope that results should be declared in july..:ok:

CaptainCaptain

9th Jun 2015, 10:53

A company wants currently rated pilots; not the ones who have done their rating in 1947. A rated pilot still has to undergo additional Sim sessions to familiarize himself with the company's SOP. Jet airways is facing difficulties with the 2011 batches by making them wait for a year now. All their knowledge is no longer current. It is also found that TRs from Southampton weren't upto the mark as per Jet's requirements. That is why the training will be in-house now onwards. This way company can get rid of unnecessary additional training like OCC.

@Captain Captain :
"A company wants currently rated pilots; not the ones who have done their rating in 1947".-Could u throw some more light..

AA350XWB

10th Jun 2015, 09:12

I think he meant pilots who have done their TR in 2013/2014

CaptainCaptain

10th Jun 2015, 13:11

All I mean to say is that after 2-3 years of TR your knowledge and skills are not current. It starts fading away.

pkboeing

10th Jun 2015, 17:55

@Capt Capt : Partly i would agree with u not fully..
Knowledge wise rated candidates are upto the mark..With their manuals and everything they knw their stuff at their back of their hand..
Skill wise : yes u r absolutely correct....when they have their sim check then the problem starts..Thats why the management of jet was like that we are not getting the quality from the rated candidates..these were the words way back in 2013..But let me tell u with the latest development with rated candidates - rated guys have pulled up their socks and the words that they are getting from examiners after the sim check(in 2014 and 2015) is commendable.....

In ur previous post u said that training would be in house..Thats very gud...but dnt u think the training would be slow for the rest of the ab initio candidates(2011 batch)...after 27th april there has been no induction..We are entering mid june and u had written in ur earlier post that Let June Start..

And what abt the rated guys who have given the exam of 2014.When is result going to be declared?.After getting selected their training would also be in-house?

Skyblade

11th Jun 2015, 06:10

@Captcapt
That is why the training will be in-house now onwards.

Does Jet Airways has the infrastructure,trainers,examiners to do in-house training?

This way company can get rid of unnecessary additional training like OCC.

Could you explain what is OCC? As far as i am aware Jet charges all the cost of training to the candidates.

pkboeing

11th Jun 2015, 06:37

jockey69 : U r absolutely correct.It depends upon requirement..but Requirement is there my friend...and its going to rise in the coming months..Ask anyone in Jet they will say yes there is a requirement..Why they are going so slow god knows..Might b possible they might b facing problems as Capt Capt said..

Sky Blade : U r absolutely correct..whether they have enough examiners..Its a million dollar question..Even i also dnt think so that they have enough thats why i wrote that the training would becme slow if they opt for an in house training with so many candidates waiting for training..

CaptainCaptain

11th Jun 2015, 07:14

The in-house training will be slow but the candidate's will only be trained when required. That way the training will be continuous without any breaks.

Few of the candidates have been calling Jet HR department time to time. In may they said the next batch will go for training to CTC in June. But now that the plan has changed, they will first induct the remaining 18 rated candidates.

Here rated pilots will advocate for rated induction and ab-initios for themselves.

We will eventually come to know the truth.

Meanwhile I wish good luck to all of us. Be patient and Be positive!

CaptainCaptain

11th Jun 2015, 07:27

OCC stands for Operator conversion course. It's required if you have done your rating from an external training organization. OCC is Dgca's requirement.

All the candidates who are trained from CTC Southampton are undergoing OCC now.

Candidates are not paying anything extra for OCC. But the company looses time and money as the simulator sessions take place at Bengaluru. Company has to provide 5 star food and accommodation to each candidate.

pkboeing

12th Jun 2015, 18:03

@Capt capt : Can u tell us that how long(months) will it take these 24 candidates to complete their OCC training..

CaptainCaptain

13th Jun 2015, 06:57

@Capt capt : Can u tell us that how long(months) will it take these 24 candidates to complete their OCC training..

It takes about 10 days per Candidate.

The 6th batch was suppose to comprise of 10 people at first, but due to unavailablity of slots only 8 have been contacted by jet airways..

Well pkboeing, you WEREN'T right. Calls have been made to 8 people of the 6th batch, inquiring about the validity or their licenses and medicals. Emails will be sent out very soon calling them up for their type rating. Do you finally accept that you were wrong? Or do you still prefer to live in denial? Where are your written exam results by the way? Oh that's right, they're still not out yet :E "Expedited"? I think not!

What about the other over ambitious person, sandeep737? Any comments?

@aroumika
Hey I think you didn't read my comment carefully . OK in that case let me tell you once again , for me it doesn't matter as I said unlike you I will not waste another 2 or 3 years of mine waiting for jet. I have given my Cass with indigo and in another 15 days I will be called for the GDPI once I will pass my interview (with gods grace n my hard work ) , I will be sent for my type within a month.I'm happy for you guys as you are getting your chance. So best of luck for your induction....

@ikarus
Yes I'm type rated on the 737 but that doesn't mean that I will wait for jet for years , whatever comes first my way I will take it

@aroumika
Regarding the word over ambitious I would like to tell you that I'm not the person who is claiming that yes we will get our results n will be inducted before anyone's else but I'm a person who is hoping that something will work out for us in jet where as you are the one who claims that now we will be called first n you guys have to wait for a long time. Did u get any mail for your training till now ?? No I guess .So speak out when you are ready to go for your training n I really wish that should happen soon!!! Best of luck..:ok::ok:

I gave my Cass on this Tuesday and there is no result in Cass , I think everyone will be called for gdpi , may be after a month the reason I said 15 days for me because now GDPI I'd happening twice a week so that will increase the speed n we will be called fast, when did u give ur Cass?!!

bawa

26th Jun 2015, 06:42

CaptainCaptain

27th Jun 2015, 02:37

Previously there used to be a separate selection process for zero hours type rated pilots, which is not the case anymore. This clearly indicates that there is no red carpet for the type rated candidates.

If company needs TFOs there are 42 ready from 2011 Batch. Congratulations to the pilots from first batch who have been released now.

CaptainCaptain

28th Jun 2015, 03:07

Indian aviation is a victim of not having a proper eligibility criteria to become a pilot. There's always a debate about who deserves to be an airline pilot. People with low grades during their schooling and their parents having lots of money think aviation is a glamorous field; Lets try this as there are no hurdles to get in. No entrance exams and no merit lists. Somehow they get through and get a pilots licence.
Real tests start after getting the CPL. When they struggle to clear Airlines entrance exams, they again look for the easy way out. Then comes the type rating. With parents minting money they will go to some beautiful country and get the type rating. Again no hurdles to get a TR.
Again comes the airline entrance. Now if they cannot qualify; a thought may come across their minds that having some sort of influential connections will take them to the airliner cockpit.

My point is that all the filters should be applied right at the beginning of the flight training. So that the money and time can be saved.

P.S. - I am not referring to anybody in person. It's a general thought.

sandeep737

28th Jun 2015, 04:06

@pkboeing
It was for cpl , there are very few people who is working in jet and has rating on any aircraft , so they came up wid the recruitment for cpl , but just wondering y internal recruitment wen they have so many candidates waiting to go for training.

mickey737

30th Jun 2015, 13:00

These Pilots(internal Vacancy) Will get called after 2013 batch gets inducted. Management made it clear for them at the very start.

It's a genuine recruitment and not some jugaad of the people who have contacts.

Previously, 41 gave this exam and no one cleared. So this time around again they are conducting it for the internal candidates.

@ikarus:
Buddy I honestly have no idea but I assume there are about 50-60 more.. Again not sure..
As far as indigo is concerned I don't think many people would've joined as the airline is still conducting cass, Gd, pi etc for the candidates..
So technically no one is employed..
A couple of batches have been sent by indigo for their type rating. That's all I have heard..
Correct me if I am wrong..

Congratulations to those joining on ATR.
30 Jet ATR pilots are leaving. Most of these will join Indigo. This will slow down the induction process at both the ends. Interviews of ongoing JFO batch at Indigo are pushed back to October. Emails already sent out. Jet will be looking to fill the ATR vacancies. No immediate requirement of pilots on 737 fleet.

2011 batch is not over yet , candidates have got tentative joining in the month of Dec and Jan.

After this comes the Re-ipt and Re-gd guys from 2011 , who are some where around 30 candidates.

So I guess it will take more than six-eight months for the 2013 batch to start , this will happen if things goes as per the current rate.

It should be very obvious even to a blind person that sitting at the operational and HR head are a bunch of crooks with no sense of moral responsibility or professional ethics.

Thanks Sridhar. Glad to know all is ok.
I was asking because I had my medical scheduled on 7th Dec. but I am in the UK so i emailed if it was possible to change my date (yea not the best move on my part i know). However, I got no reply to my email and when I called I was told that my date had been allotted to someone else. I was also told i'd get a date in Jan.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me?
And have those who have completed the medicals got further news/schedules for induction?
Any info would be great.

Sorry to be off track...I have foreign PPL and I since we cannot get jobs outside India, I am thinking to join IGRUA or NFTI and get campus or contract of Air India/Indigo respectively. Both the institutes said I have to start from scratch and get my Indian PPL and then CPL and go on with the course from day 1 just like everyone else. From rules perspective it seems right but from money and experience perspective I am at the loosing end. I have few options/questions, I would like to know if they are feasible?-

1) Should I study on my own from one of the Indian flying clubs and save money and try through open market with self sponsored type rating?
2) If IGRUA/NFTI then can i at least maintain my own log book so that I can start with Indian PPL afresh but don't loose my hours from old PPL? Is it even possible/legit/legal to keep foreign license details and again get a new one afresh? Or conversion is compulsary?
3) Would I loose all those PPL hours completely if institutes disagree to maintain my own logbook?
4) It will surely create hassles while creating computer number for theory papers. Since it asks for flying exp hours and license details till today, I am confused what to put.
5) I recently got my Indian class 2 medical done. If you get into any of these institutes what would be the ideal period to get your class 1 done so as not to waste any months of class 1 validity while preparing for theory.

Any movement for 2014 batch? Or is it time to believe that the exam is scrapped further!!

grandfather

1st Jan 2016, 13:19

@HW...Given Jet's track record of only recently inducting 2011 batch, with later years batches still in the pipeline, it guess it would be less stressful to believe that 2014 is on hold for a very very long time, i. e, practically for ever. 2014 hopefuls will hear from them when they hear from them.
But I do miss the exchanges between aroumika and pkboeing on these pages!

avicon

1st Jan 2016, 14:33

What's the deal with Jet calling Tr candidates for straight interview? Have those who finished the interview and medicals been given joining letter?

aroumika

2nd Jan 2016, 14:01

@grandfather

Glad to know that my posts have been missed. As a 2011 candidate, it has been a couple of months since I've joined Jet. Training has been busy so I haven't kept track of this thread as often as I used to. As for the 2011 batch, I believe almost everyone has been inducted by now.

And as for the posts by pkboeing, he clearly appeared to be a 2014 type rated candidate who was always wrongly under the impression that he would get called up before anyone else, including the 2011 batch who have been waiting 3 years more than him. Needless to say that time proved he was wrong. The entire 2011 batch is done and his 2014 results aren't even declared yet. A very misguided soul with very misguided sources indeed....

grandfather

2nd Jan 2016, 15:29

Congratulations @aroumika! Very glad to know that finally the loooooong wait has been fruitful. I hope you are enjoying the training. Hope to fly with you someday!
As for pkboeing, I guess most young pilots would be like him,frustrated with the endless waiting. I sincerely hope he makes it too, the sooner the better.
All the best and hope to see you both around on these pages sometimes.

Jet has also started conducting the medical test for those candidates who gave the psychometric test on 7th March at Mumbai and New Delhi . They are doing this even before the psychometric test results are announced so as to expedite the process as they are short on pilots

28th Apr 2016, 12:17

I have been getting a few messages about the Jet exam. A lot info is given in this thread but I am guessing no one has time to sit and read.

Well this is how the written exam pattern has been for the past few exams since 2010 , 2011 , 2013 and 2014

You will have 5 papers on the day of the exam. All multiple choice OMR sheets.

Two Papers on Pilot Knowledge from the DGCA syllabus, Two papers on Non Verbal reasoning . One paper commonly called English test is actually a test of Critical Reasoning

* Paper 1 - Multiple Choice Test on the DGCA Technical General subject. If you want the oxford equivalent refer Principles of Flight , Power plant (both Piston and Jet Engines ), Airframes and Systems and Electrics ( yes Jet loves asking questions on Basic electricity like Ohms , Capacitors , Batteries etc )
Each correct answer will gain you one mark . Each answer you mark wrong you lose 1/4 or 0.25

* Paper 2 - The rest of the CPL Topics like Gen Nav , Radio Aids , Instrumentation , Flight Planning ,Mass and Balance, Air Regs , Meteorology etc. Just like Paper 1 each correct answer you will score 1 mark. Each wrong answer negative 0.25

*Paper 3 - Non Verbal Reasoning - This can be anything like Series , Paper Folding , Paper Cutting etc . You can practise this for free here
Non Verbal Reasoning Questions and Answers (http://www.indiabix.com/non-verbal-reasoning/questions-and-answers/)
Each correct answer 1 mark, each wrong answer negative 0.25

* Paper 4 - Non Verbal reasoning - SPATIAL ORIENTATION - This is test of your spatial reasoning . You can practise it here Cubes and Dice - Non Verbal Reasoning Questions and Answers (http://www.indiabix.com/non-verbal-reasoning/cubes-and-dice/)
*** While this is a multiple choice paper, multiple answers can be right , all answers can be right and none can be right ***
So you have to choose very carefully.
This is also the only paper that where each wrong answer will score you negative 1 mark . Even partially right answers ( For Eg you mark 2/3 right answers ) will be counted as a negative mark
This is the paper you have to be most careful about

* Paper 5 - Critical Reasoning ( English Test ) - This paper you have to read a paragraph and answer questions . This is the only paper without NEGATIVE marking . So make sure you mark everything

As as with all pilot exams Time will be a constraint so answer what you know first and tackle the difficult ones later

Jet Airways does not allow flight computers or scientific calculators . So no difficult or long numerical problems. You can however expect basic numericals which you have to solve manually.

P.S - The above pattern is what Jet Airways has been following all these years . There is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever that they will continue to follow the same .Especially since they removed the GD and IPT rounds and introduced Psychometric tests as the next few stages. They are very short on pilots and can introduce something totally knew that allows them to expedite the process. Be prepared to expect the unexpected

*** Using the information given above will be at your own risk ***

Hi guys
That's a lot of information Cyrilboy,thanks for your effort and time.
I would like to share one info regarding Jet's future recruitments- there is yet another big change in the selection process according to a top official in the training Dept,Jet.The entire selection process is going to be a one day process and they will declare the results on the same day. So they have scrapped the previous selection methods obviously, so no GD, no IPT, no separate psychometry, No interview. In my guess it's going to be one comprehensive online test which probably includes everything.
All the best guys

@pooja25 they have not specified anywhere that current ir is a must.

Hey thanks for the prompt reply but they have mentioned in website that valid and current cpl,frtol,IR/LR.
So my query is do we need just IR rating on cpl or current ir.

Jet does not need valid IR ( even though the ad says otherwise ) . The ad has been the exact same since 2011 and has no changes to it .

If you read this pprune thread from the beginning you can see that this has been discussed for TFO 2011 , 2013 and 2014. The ad always says valid IR but Jet has never required your IR to be valid ( no airline in India does unless maybe its a type rated vacancy )

@flexiflyer

You will need to download and install the Joybridge Air application . I believe you can download it here

Using Joystick-Latest Pilot Jobs (http://www.latestpilotjobs.com/site/mypage/id/aptitude-tests-free.html)

It might ask you to install Adobe AIR software

For everyone else , All rounds will take place in Mumbai itself irrespective of the location you chose for interview . The TFO application is an old one and the exact same they have been using for the last few years.

What is this joybridge Air application and how can I use my joystick for practicing the same? Is it going to be something like PABT test of the IAF ? The PABT test is actually very easy and I have passed it in 4AFSB Varanasi during my SSB. It checks your hand eye coordination and how quick your reflex is. The trick is that the sensitivity of the controls keeps varying all the time.

Can somebody please suggest that if you had a week of time to prepare for the TFO exam, what subjects and books would you focus on, related to CPL theory subjects ?

People have suggested Principles of flight, Airframes and Systems and Powerplant of Oxford. What else?

Thanks

Hi,
Can someone please confirm if there is any cool off period for applicants who failed Interview or any other stages in TFO 2014 Batch.
I've heard HR Confirmed there is no cool off period, one has to apply fresh.
But then I also heard, there were few people who were denied to appeared for the comprehensive test on the day of exam, saying there is a cool off period for 3 months.

Hi, is the rudder pedal set up necessary for practising the Compass test. ?

flyboy086

17th May 2016, 13:29

no need to practice with stick n rudder for the complex task control, instead pay attention on the compass test and cpl theory

Hi everyone. I don't understand what's going on. I had applied for the TFO vacancy (both online and by emailing my resume) as soon as it was out. Jet took an exam on 15th may and I din't get a call.
I want to know if Jet is calling only selective candidates?
Secondly it is mentioned that that last date to apply is 15th may. So how did they take an exam on that day itself?

Will appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. Thanks.

Hello guys, i have a few questions , it would be great if someone could answer them.
1. when is the next batch appearing for their exam?
2. What is the next expected exam date?
3. And how many days before is Jet sending out mails to the candidates for their exam?

flyboy086

19th May 2016, 05:20

Don't worry guys you will get to write the exam, next batch's comprehensive test starts this saturday followed by other tests.
70 odd were called for the exam last week, some type rated directly appeared for the interviews yesterday, heard that type rated ppl will also have to appear for the comprehensive & psychometric test once they clear their interviews.
they probably will b sending first batch for TR in june guess

An Ac. Flies downwind at 400mph for 2hrs. Its returns within 2.5hrs in nil wind. What is wind speed?

@cobracommander

An Ac. Flies downwind at 400mph for 2hrs. Its returns within 2.5hrs in nil wind. What is wind speed?

400 X 2 Hrs = 800 Miles

320 X 2.5 Hrs = 800 Miles

So the difference is 80 MPH

Therefore wind speed is 80

Correct me if i am wrong

cobracommander

31st May 2016, 13:09

No, your answer is wrong.
Correct answer: 100

FLYPINTU

1st Jun 2016, 06:21

Let say in nil wind condition the A/c speed is 400 MPH

so in 2.5 Hrs it will travel 1000 Miles under nil wind condition

In Downwind the wind speed should be 100 MPH to cover the same distance in 2 hrs

Hope its clear now

Can someone please confirm that the Pilot Knowledge test ( about 30 questions ) that is in the Comprehensive test , is it Basic CPL questions or ATPL.

Can somebody clear the doubt.

If possible what all in CPL should be refereed.?

If you like wasting 4 times the money and don't feel that you're smart enough to compete with others once you get your licence then it's good.

If you're actually smart then no it's not worth it.

But I've seen all my friends sitting at home for 1-5 years after getting CPL.

Plus Indigo has almost stopped hiring Rated pilots for A320 and Jet will also stop for 737 when they will start receiving trained cadets.

Bored_Aviator

4th Mar 2018, 14:06

But I've seen all my friends sitting at home for 1-5 years after getting CPL.

See the original point, then they aren't smart. Everyone I've seen who is actually knowledgeable and didn't just memorize items to pass tests have been hired within the first 6 months at spicejet, indigo, air asia, and vistara.

The one's who have been waiting more than a year are usually the less than average ones and they're the one's always complaining that there aren't enough openings.

Hatim2712

4th Mar 2018, 14:46

See guys, @Bored_Aviator and @hitansh; I can hopefully clarify your doubts regarding this topic.

I have been researching for almost 2 years on the same question. Let me start by giving you 3 suggestions.

1) Nothing is guaranteed in the aviation industry.

2) Flying is an expensive profession.

3) Money spent on education isn't money wasted (atleast in the usual situations).

Long answer short, I've learned, "The cadet pilot programs are the easiest way to become a pilot in India"

1) Yes, they set you back around 90-95 lakhs whereas a traditional CPL+ MEIR + Type Rating + miscellaneous would cost you around 70 lakhs. But you will have to, after your training sit and compete with 1000's aspiring pilots like yourself for the vacancy of only a few 100's of positions (optimistically)

2) Airlines monitor the flight training institute and your flight training during cadet pilot programs so that you meet their standards and have a constant filtering process to only allow the best pilots to reach them. In a cadet pilot program averagely around 200-300 candidates apply for a batch of 20-25 cadets. I mean to say it is smarter to compete with 200-300 ab-initio pilots than 1000’s of CPL holders

3) Flying needs to be recent, Type rating needs to be current etc. (which obviously cost more money) are some of the risks to be remembered before opting for that path. Whereas the LOI (Letter of Intent) states that if you clear all your exams you will be full-time employed with your airline as a First Officer which is quite fair.

4) It is smarter to get paid for 6 months rather than be unemployed (with the stress of repaying your training costs). I feel so.

So if you can afford to, I would without any doubt suggest you to opt for a Cadet Pilot Program

P.S It is ethically wrong to refer to unemployed pilots as stupid.

I beg to differ, they all were equally good.
