Let wait for results day!!!

Jinkster

aka The feedback king

[My names Turkish]

Did the Exam in August and there seemed to be a few of those questions in ther too. But I've passed it, and its been a month and I couldnt answer one of those questions! Cant wait to start forgetting Met and Pof:E

Jinkster "The Feedback King", if his highness could get around to it, I'm still waiting for those feedback you said you would send me. Check your P.Ms!:hmm:

[CAT3C AUTOLAND]

I sat this exam aswell yesterday, and how the bloody hell did you remember that lot :8

[mad_jock]

All the questions are in the OAT feedback and covered in the last minute facts briefing sheet.

MJ

[Jinkster]

MJ - The OATS feedback is it labelled JAA Non Stop press questions?

Yes - how did you remember that lot.

Jinkster

[mad_jock]

You don't remember them as such.

Most of the HP stuff I knew from diving.

With the HP and airlaw feedback I had a simple method which worked for me. This dosn't mean you don't have to read the book before hand

1 Do the feed back questions and if you didn't know an answer use your notes text books to answer it.

Mark it

2. The ones you got wrong find a example in the text book.

3. Go to pub by yourself (there was only so much airlaw i could take sober)

4. Have a couple of pints

5. Start doing feedback and go with your gut feeling every time you don't know an answer.

6. Have another pint while marking it. The results will rapidly improve up past 90%

7. recycle 5,6 until you have fallen off your seat or are getting 100%

Then the days before hand just rattle through them once a day.
In the end I think it took me less than 30mins to rattle through the 7-800 questions in the feedback for Al

Then in the exam you rattle through the paper answering the ones you have seen before and if you can't remember the answer your gut feeling will be right. Then for the very small % (in my case 3Q in HP and 4 in AL) that weren't in the feedback you can try and figure out. You only have to watch out you don't get the question number out of step with the mark on the answer sheet.

I hated airlaw and ops proc with a passion and would have been quite happy to have passed those and failed all the rest. Just so i wouldn't have to open the books on those subjects again.

Strange thing is I havn't looked at feeback for over 18months now and I rattled through the answers to the feedback above and knew I had seen them before.

The sheets I have are labeled "last minute facts" which comprises of about 700 one liners which are very similar to alot of questions
The rest have just HPL feedback on the top, again about 5-600 questions

MJ

[Chintito]

umm, its not something i usually do with exams but since i had time on my hands and after getting tanked with a few i thought i'd rummage through the books to console myself.
I found that i remembered quite a lot of questions as i went through the relevant chapters..

....pls ppl, by no account should this be an encouragement to drinking before you sit your exams.. i just think i have a semi phoographic memory.

Question 5

5. What happens eventually during a small gradual positive radial G- acceleration?

A Red eyes
B Grey-out
C Black-out
D You start giggling


How did you interpret that question as:

"small positive radial G hypen acceleration" greyout

or

"small positive radial G negative acceleration" redout

I think it could be interpreted both ways, however if they had meant negative G would they have used the word negative v's "positive - " ?

Flystudent

[Jinkster]

Radial G - very good question. I put red-out and I know somepeople grey out.

If you sit in the aircraft at altitude and nose it down violently the blood will rush to your head - redout. However if you pull back on the stick violent and climb blood will rush to the boots and you will grey-out

I would be interested to know what other people put?

Jinkster

[flystudent]

This one had me wondering too...

22. What is one of the primary causes of accidents?

A Poor inter-personal communication
B Poor judgement
C Weather
D Poor aircraft maintenance

I put B and I know others that put A, can o worms really

ah well only time will tell, last night I said to myself I wont dream about failing exams, so in my dream I passed them all and woke up thinking, a wind up right !! lol cant win:D

Later

[Jinkster]

I put inter-personal communications because of the CRM/MCC bull

I know what you are saying though..what a bag of ****e that subject really is :yuk:

[CAT3C AUTOLAND]

Jinkster,

You have answered your own question regarding radial G. The question asked what the effect of positive G is, not negative G. Red out will occur with negative G, i.e flying outside loops.

[mad_jock]

Read the f*cking question as the instructor always tell you.

No where does it say red out.

It says red eyes.

MJ

[flystudent]

translating for mad_jock he said,

you need to read the question a little more carefully, as often it is referred to red eye, never red out.

Have a nice day
Mad Jock


not so harsh !! :ok: :=

[mad_jock]

Don't all schools teach, RTFQ and RTFA. ?

I was always taught read the question then answer it in your head without looking at the answers.

Then read the answers given scoring through the one's obviously wrong. If one fits exactly what you have answered in your head mark it and move on.

If there are 2 that appear as if they are both right. Read them again and see if they are taking the piss or not. Then go for the nearest answer to what you were thinking.

MJ

I was actually quoting one of my instructors on my ATPL course.

[flystudent]

totally agree :D on last post, perhaps it was me that took it out of context, sorry if so.

Anyway how is ABZ, do they still drive round n round n round the beach boulevard in their XR3's ? :O

[Jinkster]

another mark for the paper - hmm wonder when results are out probably couple weeks
