Don't panic Rowley, I think I posted a question exactly the same as this before I did Law and Ops.

Yes, good feedback is very, very useful for these two, I did mine with BGS and they had excellent feedback. I sat these two exams in September last year, and the questions we had, and you can almost certainly guarentee coming up are things like:-

Aircraft seperations - learn them cos they are almost certain to appear, but gifts once you know 'em (Landing, take off, wake turbulence, radar). If you're with BGS, learn the wake turb table off by heart, gift.

Minima / RVR - learn

DH / MDH

Emergency equipment, numbers of rafts, extinguishes etc etc...distances different cat of aircraft can fly with what type of emergency equipment.

The JAA seem to have a fixation with oxygen, number of masks needed, what altitude do you need it, who exactly needs it, at what alt i.e. is it 10% of pax and crew, or all pax and some crew, or no pax no crew but the animals in the hold etc etc...get the picture ? Fun fun fun....

Icing / De-icing (hold over times)

Fire warnings

ETOPS

The various conventions, Rome, Tokyo etc, doddle.

Requirements for different licences (yes a drag but they do appear) i.e night hours for ATPL, cross country, command time hours blah blah blah, CPL requirements, and their associated priveledges.

Responsibilities of the various crew members / aircraft operator (quite big on this).

Lighting at airports, dimensions and arrangements of lighting
(hmm I know)

Rules of the Air, signals, emergency signals from the ground etc etc....

IFR/VFR procedures

Requirements for different types of airspace classes A-G, speeds in that airspace, differences between those classes.

Obviously it goes without saying, don't just learn the feedback, but these are primarily about just learning facts, not too much understanding required so feedback is important here.

Hope that helps. They were certainly the types of thing that I had on my papers, can't have changed too much since then, but hey, this is JAA so who knows.

I got decent grades in these two and as I say, was a bit worried beforehand. Don't worry they're not too bad, if a bit dull.

Good luck.
