About Me

Hey, what is up folks hope you all are having a wonderful day, my name is Chandrajit and I am a trainee pilot currently undergoing my CPL training. As a student, I have seldom found myself troubled with studying or understanding the various topic in our curriculum after class by just reading the very difficult and technical words in the books all by myself. I've always wondered if only I could get a proper one-on-one explanation in the simplest way possible whilst I was studying the topics myself. And that is exactly what I aim to achieve with this blog. 

Over the course of the next few months to years, I intend to talk about and explain all the different topics that an aspiring or a trainee pilot needs to study to clear their DGCA exams in the simplest of manner.

I will be starting with the intro to the CPL course in the next blog, until then take care and this is your Soaring Pilot signing off 🛫💖.

Bernoulli's Principle

Hey, what is up folks hope you all are having a wonderful day. On today's blog, we will discuss a very basic topic that most of us have already learned back in school, BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLE .  So, without any further ado, let's get straight into it, shall we?  Alright, so in fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's Principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid co-occurs with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy and vice-versa. A quick note air-flow is treated as a fluid. Now, let's understand what all the fuss about. To do so we're gonna take the help of a VENTURI TUBE . Alright, folks so this what a venturi tube looks like. So let's start from the extreme left of the tube, we can see it has a large area of cross-section facilitating the flow of the fluid with HIGH PRESSURE and LOW SPEED . As we move towards the right we can see the tube converging into an area with a much smaller cross-section, and it is due to thi...

Control Surfaces of Aircraft

Hey, what is up folks hope you all are doing well. In the last blog, we discussed the different parts and the functions they serve in a propeller-driven A/c. This article is a follow up to that blog. Today, we will be talking about the CONTROL SURFACES of an A/c. Now before we start our discussion about the control surfaces, we first need to talk about the 3 different axes about which an A/c can move. The first one being the LATERAL  axis, marked in yellow. It spans from wingtip to wingtip. The second one is the LONGITUDINAL  axis, marked in blue. It spans from the nose to the tail of the A/c. The third one is the VERTICAL or NORMAL axis, marked in red.                                                                                              ...

The First Step

Hey there folks, hope you all are having a wonderful day. In this blog, I am going to give you a basic intro about all the topics an aspiring/trainee pilot must learn in order to clear the DGCA exams and get their CPL licence.  For any of you thinking of starting a career as a pilot, you need to clear a total to 5 exams in addition to 200hrs of flying experience. These 5 exams are on 5 very important subjects that a pilot needs to be extremely well versed in to ensure the safety of himself and the entire crew.  The 5 subjects are namely: Meteorology Air Regulation Navigation Technical General Radio Telephony Restricted (Aeronautical) or RTR-A The first 4 exams are conducted by DGCA which is the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. It is the regulatory body in India. The exam for the RTR-A is conducted by WPC i.e. the Wireless Planning Coordination Wing, the process for this exam is a bit more complicated so we will discuss that in the future blogs. As of right now, we will b...
