Why oh why oh why . . . . .
. . . . .do the FAA ask such STUPID questions on the ATP exam.
It is 1950's stuff. I hold an ATP in 4 other countries making this FAA test my fifth such exam.
I have two issues with this exam.
Firstly, who cares how much performance as a % is lost when a "light twin loses one engine".
Secondly, why is this examined at ATP level? Does the relevance of this (pointless) information change according to your license level?
This question is just one of the many examples of how the industry is a joke. Most of the ATP study is rote learning of pointless irrelevant information. It doesn't make pilots better or safer, it just robs them of time that could be better spent on more useful information.
Rant over. Sorry to waste your time!
Now, its back to studying the speed difference between dynamic and viscous hydroplaning! Like I give a #$@! during touchdown!!!!!!
