Australia's CPL exams require solving on-track PNR & CP (Equitime Point, if you prefer) using the formula. Senior Commercial Pilot Licence/Airline Transport Pilot Licence exams required us to calculate *off* track PNRs & Critical Points so plotting solutions became the order of the day.
At SCPL/ATPL level all fuel burns were sectorised, so a single fuel flow wasn't acceptable. Oz also requires a VR in the fuel allowance at CPL & ATPL level.
