Max Drift:

I did the FP&P exam yesterday. I can't recommend a specific book (other than the Trevor Thom volume 4, which is what I used).

Most of the questions were (as you'd expect) to do with
- reading performance tables
- knowing the correction factors for TO and landing runs based on tailwinds/wet grass etc, - figuring out how aircraft performance varies (what's the effect of flaps on stalling AoA, how is the max-distance glide for a heavier plane different to a lighter one, etc.).

The Trevor Thom book seems to have covered pretty much everything (although one runway-surface question *wasn't* covered in it).

I know it doesn't answer your question directly, but I hope it helps a bit.

Best of luck

PS yes, I made it through!
