Just sat Flight Planning recently and passed this time, so glad to finally have them all done. I was much better prepared for the 2 markers that plagued me last time.

They like to put you in at FL2XX en-route climb to FL3XX with a current GW, W/V, TRK and make you work out the TOC GW and/or distance since the last fix. Don't be tempted to go in the chart at the GW they give you, work out an EBRW first.

Did anybody else find it difficult to use the Flight Planning forms given in the exam ?, the boxes seemed so cramped compared to what I was used to and I was writing in the wrong boxes at times, that slowed me down quite significantly.

Cheers and good luck!
