Understanding the Subjects

1. Air Navigation (Most Technical)

• Navigation techniques
• Time, speed, and distance calculations
• Flight planning
• Dead reckoning, radio aids, and GNSS

2. Aviation Meteorology (Conceptual + Logical)

Focuses on:

• Weather patterns
• Atmospheric pressure
• Cloud formations
• Wind systems
• Icing and turbulence

3. Air Regulations (Memory-Based but Scoring)

Involves:

• ICAO annexes
• Indian Aircraft Act, Rules, and Civil Aviation Requirements (CARs)
• Operational procedures and pilot responsibilities

4.  Best Strategies to Clear Each Subject

AIR NAVIGATION – TIPS TO MASTER IT

• Break chapters into categories: speed-time-distance, charts, radio navigation, etc.
• Practice 10–15 numericals daily, especially on wind triangle and 1-in-60 rule
• Use E6B flight computer or calculator-based formulas
• Take topic-wise mock tests (we provide these inside our Clearway Aviation portal)
• Focus heavily on revision and error analysis

5. AVIATION METEOROLOGY – HOW TO SIMPLIFY THE CONCEPTS

• Use visual learning (diagrams, satellite photos, flowcharts)
• Study in blocks: atmosphere, pressure systems, clouds, fronts, METAR & TAF codes
• Link theory with real-world scenarios (e.g., how pilots read wind shear warnings)
• Revise definitions & abbreviations regularly
• Use MCQ apps or quizzes to keep concepts fresh

6. AIR REGULATIONS – HIGH-SCORING IF DONE RIGHT

• Create topic-wise summary notes (CARs, ICAO, airworthiness, rules)
• Make flashcards for memory-heavy items like ICAO annexes or section numbers
• Watch 5–10 min revision videos every day
• Solve previous year MCQs (these tend to repeat)
• Highlight common tricky topics (minimum equipment list, fuel policy, etc.)

7. Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Starting with Air Regulations just because it's “easy” – Start with Navigation
• Not practicing enough numericals
•  Memorizing Meteorology without understanding
•  Cramming CARs last minute
• Skipping revision tests
