CPL Aerodynamics
Hi guys,
Just wondering if anybody has any tips for the CPL aerodynamics exam?
Some people say its tough, heard some say its easy, some say its the most interesting paper of them all LoL...
Trying to memorise the table for wake turbulence standards is quite difficult though!
Regards,
Multi Engined.

Hows this for a tip. Spend some more time studying than posting on pprune and letting us all know where you are up to in your training
Get off the stupid net and study your exams. You're irritating.

What you're doing is nothing short of cheating. Are you too stupid to pass them on your own?
You've posted a thread like this on every exam you're about to sit.
Study the damn things yourself like everybody else has, instead of trying to find an easy way out of these exams.
Study it and you'll do yourself justice by being a more educated pilot.

It isn't any different to talking to other students at a flying school.
I would hardly call it cheating, it's not giving away questions or answers for a matter of fact.
Typical pprune style, shoot everyone down for having a go.
Ooh and for your information, its the people who are selling the PPL exam questions and answers who should be the ones copping it.

Here is the easiest way to pass that exam.
RTFQ. it is half the answer.
cover your answer choices, or just ignore them. if your question requires working out, work it out and see if your answer is an exact match to one of the choices.
Think about the question, then see if your response is matched with a choice in the answers. be careful though, as there will be a detractor answer in there that will LOOK like the correct answer, but mean something other than what it looks like. It was put in there on purpose to catch you out if your in a hurry.
Draw the question. Aerody is mostly mechanical, and lends itself to diagrammatic explanation readily. If you understand your stuff, a picture will make the question easier to understand, and usually the answer is contained within the question diagram.
Study, study study. don't cram just before the exam though, as it will haunt you in the exam if your studying the wrong area. relax and and go into the exam positively.
Don't read to much into the question. just answer what it asks, and not what you think it could be asking. I have read far to much into a question, looking for the trap, and then answered it wrong as I lost track of what it was actually asking.
I managed a 97%.
Good luck with it.

Sorry, but a bit of a thread diversion, what are peoples thoughts on when a safe experiance level is to do your initial twin endorsement. Surely not the week after you have passed your CPL. I remember when I was given the assymetric brief and
me but it made me scared to jump in the duchess 
. Loose 80% of your power, not guaranteed to climb and the rest. Emagine loosing an engine at blue line just after takeoff, bugger me but it isn't guna be an easy job keeping it in the air with 40 degree temps up the northern half of Aus. Throw in doing an instrument rating and you are trying to remember a new set of rules when you barely know the rules for VFR flight and can't even make a radio call without sounding like an idiot.Is it really a safe or smart idea to learn how to fly twins and/or do your IFR just after CPL. IMHO i think the smartest thing you could do would be get a single engine charter job and a year later do your IFR.
Your thoughts???

I did my initial twin at about 150hrs and before I got my commercial. ( I did the 250hr course, as I didn't intend getting a comm, but changed my mind about the 200hr mark). never hurt me at all. wasn't overwhelming at all, as most people use an easy type, entry level twin to do their initial. I used a Seneca. Slow, forgiving and easy to fly (also a bucket of sh1t).
