DGCA ATPL Air Navigation

Other authorities examine it as four subjects. DGCA examines it as one paper. This book is written for that paper. Pass mark 70%. An oral after the written paper. Navigation, mass and balance, performance and flight planning in one sitting. The DGCA ATPL Air Navigation paper is set from Appendix A of CAR Section 7 Series B Part VI. A text written for another authority teaches another authority's fuel policy, alternate rules and landing factors, and says nothing about the load and trim sheet as DGCA requires it. DGCA ATPL Air Navigation is a complete revision guide and question bank for the DGCA ATPL(A) Air Navigation paper, written by an airline captain and Chief Flight Instructor, and organised element by element to Appendix A. What is inside All 100 elements of Appendix A, tagged where each is taught — from the Earth, time, magnetism and charts through dead reckoning and in-flight navigation to loading, the centre of gravity, take-off, climb, cruise, landing, the fuel plan and the ATS flight plan. 324 practice questions with worked explanations — 234 through the chapters, plus a 90-question practice paper. No question appears twice. The Indian rules from the Indian documents — fuel and alternates, the operational flight plan and the performance limitations from CAR Section 8 Series O Part II; the load and trim sheet; extended diversion time operations; each cited by paragraph. What AIP India publishes — Indian time, units, cruising levels and flight plan filing, from AIP India, AMDT 09/2026, effective 1 October 2026. Every calculation worked twice, on the navigation computer and by calculator, with the method shown. One invented aeroplane through all four subjects: loaded, flown and fuelled from Delhi to Mumbai on the book's own charts and tables. 115 diagrams, drawn for the series, with invented data. The confusable pairs, Traps and why they work, On the day, a glossary and a full index. Fourteen chapters: the Earth, direction and distance; time; magnetism and compasses; charts; dead reckoning and the navigation computer; in-flight navigation, range and radius of action; EFIS, FMS, GPWS and TCAS; masses, limits and loading; the centre of gravity, load shift and securing; take-off performance; climb, cruise and engine failure en route; descent, landing and the performance manual; the navigation plan and the fuel plan; and IFR planning, the ATS flight plan, PET, PSR and ETOPS. For CPL holders sitting the ATPL papers, and for line pilots who want the sums and the Indian requirements straight. A revision guide, not approved by DGCA. DGCA publishes no question count, time or weighting for this paper: the practice paper and every mark estimate are the author's. The Civil Aviation Requirements, AIP India and your operator's manuals always take precedence. It contains no questions from any question bank and no past or recalled DGCA question, and every aeroplane, chart, route, aid and frequency in its examples is invented for teaching. One of the Mastering ATPL India books, a companion to the fourteen-book Mastering ATPL series.
