Does anyone NOT remember
that recently in the G-Nav exam there were only 6 questions concerning the CRP 5.
The rest were convergence, rhumbline, polars., lamberts, diagram related.
Truth is, you can get heavy load of crp 5 questions or a heavy load of calculations.
Things I struggled with, difference between course, track and heading.
These here I could never get my head around until recently.
Example> Heading 355 (M)
Course 320 (M)
Var 15 W
Dev -4
Drift 6 port
What's the wind and velocity?
TRack 355 (M)
Heading 310 (M)
Var 15 w
Dev -4
Drift 6 starboard
Wind/velocity is?
If you can't work out diagram questions then I suggest you simply practice more on them. Trying to learn answers to the feedback diagram questions COULD possibly get you trough the exam BUT what happens if you come across 8 questions which you cannot remember the answer to or have never seen? Add the possibility of making SILLY mistakes and forgetting to mark answers and you have a HIGH chance of NOT PASSING the exam at all.
If you want a link to abacus> aerosolutions.be
It's not fool proof, there are some mistakes in the questions (and some of the given answers are wrong) but it's constantly being updated and students that post there are actually not just posting questions but get answers from other people with access to it.
If the link doesn't appear for some reason, just PM me and I'll provide it.
