Hi there,
I currently hold a Hong Kong ATPL and a UK CPL and am in the process of putting my 744 rating onto the CPL in order to upgrade it to an ATPL. The problem is years ago I never got round to doing the Perf A exam only Perf E and therefore the CAA require me to sit the JAR Performance exam which is what I have been studying for the last 4 weeks through Bristol Groundschool.
My question is really on the content of the exam. Does there tend to be a 50 50 split between the theory questions and graph calculations or is it like the old Perf A and predominantly graph questions? Also are there 40 questions as most JAA exams seem to be?

Thanks,

When the UK went over to JAR exams, the graphical questions virtualy disappeared from the PERF am papers. Most exams were all theory questions.

Over the years, the graphical questions have be reintroduced and their numbers increased slightly.

A typical JAR PERF exam today includes three or four graphical questions. The majority, of these relate to the SEP1 and MEP1, but there are also a small number of MRJT1 questions.
