Radio Navigation study material for Pilots
Navigation by radio aids includes navigation mainly by reference to indications of bearing and distance indicated on VOR, DME and ADF equipment located on the aircraft. This information is derived from ground radio beacons (VOR, DME and NDBs or broadcast stations.)
Operational Procedures For Pilots: Model Test Papers
A Standard Operating Procedure provides a flight crew with a step by step guide to effectively and safely carry out operations. A particular SOP must not only achieve the task at hand but also be understood by a crew of various backgrounds and experience within the organisation.
CAT: Clear Air Turbulence
Clear-air turbulence (CAT) is the turbulent movement of air masses in the absence of any visual clues, such as clouds, and is caused when bodies of air moving at widely different speeds meet.[1]
The atmospheric region most susceptible to CAT is the high troposphere at altitudes of around 7,000–12,000 metres (23,000–39,000 ft) as it meets the tropopause. Here CAT is most frequently encountered in the regions of jet streams. At lower altitudes it may also occur near mountain ranges. Thin cirrus clouds can also indicate high probability of CAT.

Model Test Paper for Flight Instruments: ATPL and CPL Licence
Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed and direction. They improve safety by allowing the pilot to fly the aircraft in level flight, and make turns, without a reference outside the aircraft such as the horizon.
Flight Planning and Monitoring for Pilots: Study Material
Flight planning is the process of producing a flight plan to describe a proposed aircraft flight. It involves two safety-critical aspects: fuel calculation, to ensure that the aircraft can safely reach the destination, and compliance with air traffic control requirements, to minimise the risk of midair collision. In addition, flight planners normally wish to minimise flight cost through the appropriate choice of route, height, and speed, and by loading the minimum necessary fuel on board.
Human Performance for Aspiring Pilots -Study Material
Effective Human Performance is fundamental to operational safety in aviation. Human performance is defined as the human capabilities and limitations which have an impact on the safety and efficiency of aeronautical operations.
Celebrating 100 Blog Posts!
What is blogging? It’s just like publishing a short story regularly, especially for creative writers. People blog about different things: politics, relationships, finance, health and wellness, personal life, history and so on. Some people do it for fun. Others make money through blogging. Most bloggers lives revolve around finding the next topic for their blog post. But one thing they learn very swiftly is to focus on their readers. The target audience. They are like a bunch of people you were able to convince but moment your content deteriorates, they…
HELICOPTER OFFSHORE OPERATIONS: AN OVERVIEW
The term “offshore operations” is used to describe situations where not only a part of the flight takes place over large bodies of water but when most of the flight, including the main objectives, are to be completed away from dry land. Because of their VTOL and hover capabilities, the use of helicopters in offshore operations has increased greatly. In this post, my guest author, Wg Cdr Vikram Mahajan (Retd) will tell us about helicopter offshore operations, their complexities and safety risks. Crude oil and natural gas are invaluable natural…
