No he doesn't!

I hadn't posted previously as I couldn't assist you out in KL.

What most posts failed to understand is that you are doing the UK CAA Overseas exams which are similar to the OLD CAA exams prior to 2000 and the JAR/EASA 'system'. There is no database for the OLD system, maybe sample papers, surely your current training provider has all this?

There is a significant difference in Navigation in particular you must be able to do a running plot it was worth about of the 3rd of the marks. Remembering answer "A" won't help you here! If you can't plot you won't pass. Plotting in the JAA is significantly easier as it is just cross bearings and distances around Ireland.

I think your best source of revision might be to look at Oz & NZ as their Navigation is similar to what you require or get hold of some older navigation books. I would have to dust off my old notes which are not for sale!
