Human Fators Blues

[Fatboy99]

Hi all,

I study my ass off and flunked Human Factors by 1 question. But whether you flunk by 1% or 100%, makes no difference.

Thing is I used only bob tait and bob tait sample questions to prep for the exam, because a couple of people said that there was no difference between the ATP syllabus and the CPL syllabus. But when I got into the exam, there was almost no resemblance between the prep exam questions and the CASA questions.

Hey i'll take it on the chin, I didn't pass and that's up to me, But I don't want to bang my head against the wall again, so any advice or if anybody could give me some tips or good exam prep questions I would appreciate it a ton.

The normal HF anatomy (eyes, ears etc) type of stuff was OK, but the Risk Management and TEM NAILED me!! I used the caap 5.59 for prep and really knew it well, but there was almost no similarity between the CASA questions and the Caap.....

Before the spelling police jump in how about you edit the title from Fators to Factors. Maybe spelling was worth a point.

Hint? Re-read all the material again. Just keep reading it, something new will sink in every time. Whether you pass by 1% or 30%, it all helps.

Its worth getting on the bobtait.com.au forums as well.. lots of discussion on curly TEM questions.

I am a Human Factors tragic - I love it - but TEM is a load of ****.

It is clumsy and awkward in practice - its another cute theoretical model forced down the throats of the people at the coal face as it it is actually useful.

Once you have been using it for a while it gets easier BUT do you reckon the examiners at CASA have ever worked as a pilot? :hmm:

...much less actually used TEM as an operational tool? :ugh:

Tossers. :suspect:

Search the CASA website for any material they might have - the CASA exam is likely to agree with the CASA material. (Hint - try the CAAPs).

Also skybrary has some useful (original source) material, if you search around a bit.
