Sat flight planning yesterday, didn't get through. I ran out of time and I started with the 5 markers first. I took too long in the middle. Plenty of questions on holding, had a couple on finding FOB at cp point. There were others that gave you GW at different waypoints along a track, including TOD and you had a find GW at a particular point.

Had one gear down question. My advice on anyone doing it soon, know your company policy inside out. Differences between inflight and pre flight as well. That got me big time.

Looking back, I needed more practice for the exams. Will be better prepared next time.
