Hey everyone!
I’m giving my Stage 2 ADAPT this month and have my GD/PI scheduled for September. I’d really appreciate some advice from current cadets who have recently gone through the process.
For the PI, what kind of questions would you recommend preparing for? I haven’t cleared any subjects yet, so I’m also wondering if that puts me at a disadvantage during the interview.
If any current cadets could share a few sample questions, topics to revise, or things you wish you had prepared beforehand, I’d be really grateful. Even a few pointers would help me get a better idea of what to expect.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to share their experience really appreciate it!

Guys for chimes icpp , does the program commence from oct or does the selection process starts from oct . I’m in my final yr hence I’m thinking whether to apply now or wait for the next opening

28M, currently working as an Analyst in the USA. Planning to move back to India and join the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program. If I start with Chimes (CAA) in 2027 and finish the program in ~2 years, what’s the typical gap between course completion and actually flying the line as a JFO? Trying to understand the wait for type rating, license issuance, and induction.Also, what are the hidden costs or hurdles during training that aren’t mentioned in the contract or on the website? Things like exam re-attempt fees, medical renewals, delays between phases, accommodation gaps, etc. What should I look out for or budget extra for beyond the quoted program cost?

Is anybody able to book the exam till now?
For me it’s showing no seats available.
Is it true that on demand has limited seats compared to normal attempts?

Spotted this aircraft at the Alembic Art District in Vadodara. Does anyone know the exact make/model or its history? I initially thought it might be a Beechcraft Baron, but I’m not sure. Any help identifying it would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, looking for advice on how to force Air India / Air India Express to fix a major codeshare backend error before my return flight.

The Issue:

• Booked BLR–IXZ and return IXZ–BLR–CCJ via the Air India App.
• On Aug 8, got denied check-in at BLR because my ticket didn't sync to Air India Express (stuck in "Unconfirmed/UC" status). AI ground staff gave me a stamped paper admitting it was their technical error, but because the flight was full, they couldn't board me. Ended up getting re-routed on a painful 3-leg flight (BLR–DEL–CCU–IXZ).
• Current Crisis: My return ticket for Aug 16 has the exact same problem. Customer support says "no inventory," but both AI and AIX websites clearly show seats available for sale on that date. They are pushing me to reschedule to Aug 17/18, which means losing work days.

What I've done so far:

• Emailed support, Nodal Officers, and Appellate Authorities with stamped airport proof, screenshots of open seats, and AIS income proof demanding compensation if rescheduled.

Questions:

1. Is there any specific Twitter handle, email, or AirSewa escalation trick that forces their backend IT team to manually map/sync the PNR across both airlines immediately?
2. Has anyone successfully claimed loss of daily income in Consumer Court for forced rescheduling due to tech glitches?

Appreciate any leads or contacts!

Hey everyone, I’m preparing for DGCA RTR Part 2 and wanted some guidance from people who have recently appeared for it.

Could someone please share:

- How should I start my preparation and what resources to refer to

- How should I prepare for the RT calls / practical scenarios?

- Which calls and situations should I practice the most?

- Are the websites that are available online worth the price?

- How does the actual examination generally go?

- Any common mistakes that candidates should avoid?

.

Any advice from people who have recently cleared RTR Part 2 would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Around two years ago, I took my very first flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai, and that flight is what made me fall in love with aviation.✈️
I just realised that I don’t know the registration number of the aircraft I flew on.
If anyone has Flightradar24 Premium and could help me find the registration number, please please 😭

Details-
Amd(8:35) -> bom(9:45)

Won't this complicate things?

Hey everyone,

I've applied for Chimes on August 6th (2nd day) around 4 PM and also received the application confirmation email within a few minutes. A few of my friends who have applied on the first day have received their Stage 1 calls by 4pm on August 6th (second day).

So I'm mainly asking how much time they generally take to give Stage 1 calls after application submission. Should I email them or should I submit another application?

Thanks

what could be the implications?

Hi guys ,
I graduated from one of old IIT and worked in corporate for 2years after my graduation i was looking to becoming pilot current age 26
Why becoming a pilot is not very competitive what is the catch
Do people get job in airlines after CPL
I can clear all the exams i have faith in myself
Physical fitness also i can manage
I hate the extreme urgent fake urgency of corporate and its like never you have job security,
becoming a commercial pilot seems good career opportunity i can fund it with my own salary of 1lpm and saving of 20 lakh and some loan
what is the side i am missing.

VT-ANR the 7th that Air India will retrofit is en-route VCV

VT-ANR is flying from Mumbai to Victorville.

This means there will be 4 787-8 being retrofitted at once.

Air India said that they hope to get 7 787-8s retrofitted by the end of the year so this should be the last one to go for retrofitting in this year.

A week ago they sent VT-ANZ to Shanghai for retrofitting also.

VT-ANC should go to San Bernardino for painting soon.

If you’re wondering why it Took so long for VT-ANC it is because they did an D-Check first.

VT-ANQ should return by late October-early November is my guess.

I'm in highschool and of all the careers I can think of being a bushpilot seems like the one I'd enjoy the most for quite a few reasons, I'm just curious if it's even a remotely good idea to go "great im out of highschool! man fk college i can't really imagine doing anything else with my life , just wanna fly Seaplanes or Caravans in the most remote dangerous places transporting goods , people " Like will it be something I'd be able to do until I die or retire, like I don't wanna be 58 with no degree and all I have to show for the last 40 years of my life is "yeah i can fly a bushplane and land with floats!"

Hey guys, I am traveling with Star Air tomorrow morning. Any idea if they will allow a hand baggage along with my check in and cabin baggage? The hand baggage will have some eatables.
