As we're still here...
(no we're not)
To pass, you just have to
- Understand the Whizz-wheel - this is the important one. Any mistake can potentially lead to two or three wrong answers
- Draw a line on a chart and measure distance and track
- Remember the 1-in-60 rule
- Read - you have to answer a couple of questions based on excerpts from Pooleys. You have to answer a couple of questions by reading the Chart. Finally some of the other questions are answered by information that is printed on the chart anyway (although they don't tell you that in the question), so it's always worth taking a look.
- Remember some extremely basic Radio Nav. information
- Remember a few navigation facts - some obscure, some trivial.
The last bit doesn't matter so much - get the rest right you'll pass, so it doesn't matter if you get an obscure question. Most of the time it is fairly basic anyway. The important one is understanding Whizz-wheel well enough to use it without making errors....
Good luck - it's a fairly easy exam once you understand the bl**dy Whizz-wheel...
