I thought the M&B exam was straight forward and agree that there were relatively few calculation questions compared to all the papers given out at my FTO.

I also agree that the Flight Planning paper was considerably harder than the practise papers I have looked at. Why all the chart questions cannot be bunched together is strange. I didn't get 4hrs 6mins for the second to last question but having looked through some of the practise papers I never got round to finishing off, the question is replicated and gives the answer as 4hrs 6mins.

I may be wrong but I always thought that the departure formula was only to be used when travelling along a specific latitude; I measured the distance using the scale on the chart, which gave something around 720.

Did anyone sit the General Navigation exam ? A busy 2hrs, but I thought it was fair and representative of my other attempts.

Fingers crossed for ten days time !!!
