Im doing a CPL H distance learning at the moment and think the feed back questions are great as 95% of the subjects do not apply to helicopters. Why do I need to know about Kruger Flaps or Mach numbers. But I had to study it and get tested on it.

In theory I could fail my CPL H due to the lack of my fixed wing knowledge.

How would you fixed wing guys feel if you had to study and get questioned on Flapping to Equality, Rotating Swash Plates, or Vortex Ring etc to be able to fly a 747.

From my point of view, twos day learning the answers, do the exam then dump the crap and move on. Gets my vote.
