Very true - they* introduced a lot of new questions without revealing the sources, then 60% of the questions were disabled for being not fit for purpose - the results won't kick in until around now, I'm told.

*Not necessarily EASA - there are grounds for thinking that the CAA have introduced their own outside of EASA.

For example, these two:

What has the worst effect (counter-clockwise rotor system) once you experience "tail rotor vortex ring state"?

making a right pedal turn (to swing the nose to the right)
making a left pedal turn (to swing the nose to the left)
raising the power lever
decreasing the power lever

What is the best procedure (clockwise rotor system) once you have experienced "tail rotor vortex ring state"?

making a right pedal turn (to swing the nose to the right)
making a left pedal turn (to swing the nose to the left)
raising the power lever
decreasing the power lever

My information is that they are not in the current EQB.

Of course, you shouldn't rely on question banks anyway, in an ideal world - but given the standard of the questions you can't blame people for thinking otherwise.
