Thumbs up

A "Very well done - Congratulations" to NZLeardriver.
Perhaps many of you don't understand the gargantuan effort he must have put in, to achieve a Pass in this subject.
As he stated - but which may have gone over the heads of some - he had to study a considerable volume of subject matter that first had to be translated from Kanji, into English, to enable him to prepare for the questions.

For pilots coming to Japan through a non-Japanese contractor, this info is supplied by the airline sponsoring the applicant, as are practice Q & A's.
NZL was NOT afforded that luxury.

Hence, it would seem to me, that IF he were WILLING to part with his "study notes and advice and translations " (read blood, sweat and tears), it would have to obviously come at a price (I reckon at USD100, it would be under-priced) for those looking at an aviation future in Japan, as it will be a FIRST, for non-sponsored foreign pilots.

Prince of Dzun, you are indeed a true gentleman.
