			<description>Collated the number of people attempting the DGCA exams from Jan-2007 to Jul-2007. These are not the count of how many passed/failed - it's the count from the list of admit cards.

 

There's 3 parts:

b) CPLCG (CPL Conversion papers)

c) ATPLG (Standard ATPL papers)

 

I deliberately excluded helicopters and general/technical papers.

 

It's very interesting to see the drastic change in numbers for CPL and 

CPL-Composite. As usual, NAV looks like a tough subject,  ...</description>

Passed my CPL flight test in Vancouver on 15-August, flew back to India on 23-August, and landed in Delhi on 30-Aug. Sat through the classes at Mr.Duggal. Applied for the 2 conversion papers (CPLCG Nav Composite and Regulations). And DGCA decides to publish the admit list 3 days before the exams. And they give me only 1 paper - CPLG Navigation. That's it. At the CEO  ...</description>

			<description>In an A300B4, Coming in to land from Gulf to Trivandram on an early morning arrival,I decided to land on VOR14 instead of ILS32 to save a bit of time since it was a long hopping flight. ILS 32 would have meant that we fly further south, turn around Northwest and come in for ILS on RWY 32 VOR !4 was geographically  tantalisingly straightahead.. There was no ILS for RW14 those days.

 

Ofcourse we were completely immersed in clouds.The weather was legally within the minimums for the VOR14 rwy  ...</description>

			<description>For long I was in the habit of looking down at other students who ask stupid questions, somewhat derisively at least in the heart of hearts.
