Hi Adam,

Southampton Airport Parkway is right next to the airport - come out of the terminal and turn left (or just follow signs for Trains).

I'm sure someone else more recently sitting Stage 1 can provide more examples, but the type of dst questions I got were like the following (I hope I don't get them wrong!):

Q: An aircraft is travelling at 420mph - how far does it travel in 4 minutes?
A: 28 miles.

Q: An aircraft travels at 4.5 nautical miles per minute. How fast is that in knots?
A: 270 knots.

Q: Aircraft is 24 miles from a beacon, has a groundspeed of 360mph and is at 28000 ft. What rate of descent does the aircraft require to be at 26000 ft when it passes over the beacon?
A: 500 ft per minute.

Q: Two aircraft are heading directly towards each other at the same altitude and are currently 55 miles apart. Aircraft 1 is travelling at 300 mph, and the other at 360 mph. How many minutes will it take for them to collide?
A: 5 minutes.
