Hi Folks,
I'm in the process of trying to convert my overseas (UK) PPL to its CASA equivalent and I'm looking for a bit of advice about the PAOS exam from those familiar with it as my flying club seem a bit vague.
Basically, the CASA website says I need to provide the CAR, CAO, CAAP, AIP and ERSA for the exam. Does anyone with experience know if in the real world these are actually needed? Does the exam ask specifics that can only be answered with the publications, or is this an exam you can pass by reading over Bob Tait's air law and the VFR flight guide? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but the lack of sample questions make the pitch of the exam a bit difficult to gauge.
Obviously, I don't want to spend a big chunk of my flying money on legal publications (ERSA and AIP excepted) that I will probably never touch!
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Gareth.
