I asked some of my friends from other flying schools who hold an RPL for help and they say the questions I was asked are more of PPL level. If anyone could help me to understand and answer these questions before my flight test that would be greatly appreciated:
-Why Vs moves with the movement of CG
-Va, the purpose of it and why it changes with weight
Thanks so much
If you don't feel ready for the flight test talk to your instructor. Below is a link to the RPL Flight test report form, maybe go though it with your instructor and have them ask you questions about each of the ground items. Also review the in flight items to ensure you have been trained to safely perform all manoeuvres.
Good luck with the flight test.
