Hey guys .. I'm another new ATPL Flight Planning exam candidate here .. so thanks so much for the tips.
Whilst on the topic of holding fuel for abnormal operations, is it correct that you plan to carry holding fuel for INTER and TEMPO conditions when you have 1 engine in op, but not for when you have a depressurization situation? If this is the case, then it seems to imply that you land immediately regardless of the weather conditions if you have a depressurization emergency.
And another question .. how many questions are there in the exam and how many are there requiring a full flight plan to be completed? The reason I ask is that it's taking me about 45 minutes to complete just one question asking to plan a flight from A to B and calculate how much fuel is required to be carried on board at start-up. At this rate, I'll only have time for 4 questions .. so do I need to increase my work rate? Hopefully there'll only be one of these questions.
Keep the tips coming ..
