Thanks for all of the input guys. Just finished the exam, passed but didn't do anywhere near as well as expected, and certainly not for lack of preparation. Is it just me or do the team at CASA go out of there way to make their questions ridiculously subjective and vague. Here are some I remember from today that I believe I got wrong based on my KDR. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. J
1/ Which of the following methods would be beneficial to improving your night vision:
a) Wearing sunglasses during the day
b) Avoiding excessive sun and snow glare during the day
c) Allowing the night vision 30 - 40 minutes for full dark adaptation
d) Eating a lot of carrots
e) Looking at objects with the peripheral rather than direct vision
f) Taking vitamin E supplements from the doctor
I chose a,b,c, and e which was apparently wrong. My only guess could be that looking "slightly off centre" is not the same as using the peripheral vision (quite subjective if you ask me).
2/ A co-pilot notices that the number 1 engine oil temperature is abnormally high on climb out. He informs the captain of the situation who gives him a thumbs up and tells him not to worry. The first officer doesn't think anymore about the problem. What dangerous attitude is evident in the first officers perception of the situation?
a) Resignation
b) Invulnerability
c) Deference
d) Impulsiveness
I originally selected a) but changed my answer to b) based on the last sentence which suggested that the problem was no longer on the co-pilots mind and he wasn't worried about it.
3/ During flight you notice that the captain appears unwell, in terms of threat and error management you have effectively.
a) Recognised a threat
b) Anticipated a threat
c) Responded to a threat
d) Recongnised an error
I selected a) which was apparently incorrect
Oh well on to the next one
