So I sat this last week and missed out by a question
Despite getting full marks in some of the aft cyber practice exams, I obviously wasn't sufficiently accurate for the CASA exam. Either that or i f####d up badly on the day
Have got hold of some Rob Avery notes and have noticed a few things he does differently which will hopefully help me get a little more accurate.
I've noticed he interpolates winds for the cruise as opposed to Aft which just says pick the winds closest to your level. I've found this can sometimes make a big enough difference to your final answer to get it wrong (depending on who the question was written by). So which way does CASA work it out?
As far as I'm concerned the "super sector" planning is BS. I had one instance where in Rob Avery's notes his averaged ISA variation lead him to choose a lower cruise level in 1 engine inop config. If it had been done in two different sectors the A/C was capable of 2000ft higher = a great deal less fuel burn.
Anyone studying for this exam at the moment PM me.
