Multi choice questions – GCAA Air legislation on 10th May 2012. There are 40 questions and you have 50 minutes in which to complete them. In my opinion this is new questions in the new format, there has been a real shift from the older GCAA legislation to the newer CAR 66, 147, 145, CAR M and in a small way CAR OPS. That’s certainly where the majority of your revision should be.
