Dotau, thanks for the info!

I am sitting the exam om Friday (my last ATPL) and I am not looking forward to it at all. I have been studying for about 4-5 hours for the last 2 weeks, and I did all the practice questions as well as the final exams. On average, I am getting about 3-4 wrong for every 19 questions...

Dotau, you mentioned a question about yaw damper inop at FL330. Since you have to continue at FL290 (or FL280 going west), do you have to plan the descent from FL330 to FL290, or do you disregard the descent figures such as for depress and 1-engine inop?

Also, the question regarding the max flight level. Wouldn't you have to go max hemispherical anyways if you are given a track? Or does the question have to specify max level complying with hemispherical IFR?

Thanks!
