Can you tell us how it went(if you did your exam) and what you have done to prepare yourself?
Thank you!
Hi,
I just wrote email to EASA because I think that this situation IT IS NOT fair.
I know, life is not fair but this stupid system is incredible. What was my point was simple, I just asked lady from EASA if she can tell me from what source I can learn new type of graphs. Because performance exam is very time limited and when you have 2-3 new graphs as me before - it is not good.
I recieved answer "time is sufficient and answers are not close".
Well sometimes they are not, but sometimes they are very very close to others!
My next attempt is 11OCT - if I will pass trough > it wonīt be end from my side, this system cost me half year of my life (just on perf exam!) and their arrogance is endless.
I really donīt have problem with learning of new stuff but problem their point of view.
First of all I will want to provide all others student reliably suplements.
I mean - jesus christ we have to pay a lot of money for these exams and they will give me blured graph.
All others subjects I pased without problem even with new question (meteo, gnav, rnav, fpl).
And perf is only remaining subject because if you will fail 2 graphs for 3 points you are going home with fail.
Of course when you donīt understand principle of these - ok then. But mostly you will fail just because your result is 1050ft and possible answers are 1000 or 1100ft.
