LFG

Where you doing it??
If you have the same RT examiner as me then im sure you will NOT fail!!

DONT PANIC!!!
Easy for me to say now

Its not hard as long as you read the CAP413.
I first had a written theory test.There was no pass or fail.Just as long as the examiner thinks you've done well enough.

The verbal was worse,but only coz i panic'd (spelling??). You will be given a piece of paper to study.It will have on it a very basic route egA-B-C MAYDAY or PANPAN.You will be expected to do the radio work for this route.
Then...........
You go in one room,the examiner goes into one next to you.Both rooms are connected by an intercom. You wear your headset he wears his.
Your intercom will have numbered buttons.You will have to press a button for each controller ie 'Contact tower on 119.4' You read it back then you press the next button on your intercom which will simulate you changing from one to the other understand???

Whenever you get stuck or your mind goes blank always use the word'standby'.
Standbye is your get out of jail card! When you say standby your examiner will know you understand how to correct a hesitation. Always try and keep pace with your examiner, he will not read the route too quckly as he knows you will nervous!
Thats it Just go through the route and youll be fine! Trust me i am a nobody!

Am i still on probation??
