Passed What a #$*& of a subject though. BTW FRQ I got that PNR you were talking about for a return to YPAD via a difference track. In the last 20 minutes I re did it and changed by answer and got it right. Had to be one of the worst worded ones ive seen so far. "ignore lateral distance blah blah blah". I just flew out NO, then dropped down to the return route on the way back which was pretty much the same distance anyway.

One question you may get is finding your TAS, your given a MN, TAT, FL. But told you encounter severe turbulence and reduce to VB (Turbulence penetration speed). Don't use the given MN, enter your buffet chart @ the FL and determine VB, I think its 280kts up to FL 334 then .80M above.
Get your Speed if its 280KIAS, set it to your FL on your CR3, get a MN, then get a TAS from that MN.

Best of luck to anyone about to sit it
