DGCA Implement CAR 66- Examination will be conducted based on MODULAR system


The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has been conducting examinations for issue/ extension of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) License, in accordance with Rule 61 of Indian Aircraft Rules 1937. The Central Examination Organization (CEO) of DGCA, located at R. K. Puram, New Delhi is responsible for conducting these examinations.



So far these examinations were conducted as per the requirements laid down in Civil Aviation Requirements, Section 2, Series L, however, with the implementation of CAR-66, henceforth the examinations will be conducted based on modular system. In this system, the existing papers have been bifurcated in more than 40 papers (QPREF) of varied complexity and knowledge levels to cater for all modules as per CAR-66. These examinations will generally be conducted on-line, at the designated centers, in line with prevailing international standards, wherein the candidate appears in the exam through a computer and gets the score on the spot. Initially, some of the papers may be conducted OMR based also. In order to maintain the examination schedule, the October 2016 session has been merged with the first session of February 2017. 

The information regarding the schedule of examinations and centers etc. will be published on the DGCA web-site: “http://www.dgca.nic.in”. The examination portal for the registration of both, existing and new AME applicants, desirous to appear for AME examinations is “http://www.viman.gov.in”. Candidates are advised to carefully read the instructions and login to the web site www.viman.gov.in and then read the “User Manual” before filling up the applications.

The fee for appearing in the exam has been revised as per Rule 62 of Indian Aircraft Rule 1937 and accordingly, an additional amount of Rs 2000/- per paper shall be payable by the candidate for appearing in on-line exam. The fee shall be payable in on-line mode only, through „Bharatkosh‟ payment gateway.

Back In case of any query with respect to online application, the applicants may contact the helpline at +91 11 26106011. This helpline is available for the above said purpose, on working days between 10:30-12:30 Hrs. and 14:30-16:30 Hrs. The candidate may also e-mail their query on ceoame.dgca@nic.in. 

The above is for information of all concerned.

Adverse yaw!!! Roll causes Yaw and Yaw causes Roll...

Image
Do you know what adverse yaw is and how to solve it? To understand what adverse yaw is, we need to first explain the axes of motion for an  airplane. An aircraft in flight can rotate around three different axes, as illustrated below. Aircraft control surfaces However, the effect of one control surface is not always limited to just pitch, roll, or yaw  alone. When the deflection of one control surface affects more than one of these  orientations, we say that the orientations are coupled. The most important of these  coupled interactions is adverse yaw. To better understand the concept, let's study a  picture of what happens when the pilot deflects the ailerons to roll the aircraft. As you can see, the aircraft rolls because one aileron is deflected downward while the other is deflected upward. Lift increases on the wing with the downward-deflected aileron because the deflection effectively increases the camber of that portion of the wing. Conversely, lift decreas...

Aircraft Landing Gear

Image
Why do aircraft have only three landing gear? Why not four? Most aircraft today have three landing gear. Two main landing gear struts located near the middle of the aircraft usually support about 90% of the plane's weight while a smaller nose strut supports the rest. This layout is most often referred to as the "tricycle" landing gear arrangement. However, there are numerous other designs that have also been used over the years, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a closer look at the various undercarriage options available to engineers. Tail-wheel or Tail-dragger :  Gear Though the tricycle arrangement may be most popular today, that was not always the case. The tail-wheel undercarriage dominated aircraft design for the first four decades of flight and is still widely used on many small piston-engine planes. The tail-dragger arrangement consists of two main gear units located near the center of gravity (CG) that support the majority of the p...
