First eight done, but to be honest I think there is a retake or two in there somewhere.

Was it me, but the 'hard' ones were easy and the 'easy' ones quite hard. Except for Gen Nav which was just plain hard (my CRP was smoking at the end!). Managed to finish all the Qs, but I noticed that some didn't.

Some very sneaky appendexing in Gen Nav and Met.

The appenicies for Gen Nav and Met were a little crafty.

The Gen Nav had a CAS table that you were obviously meant to use for the flight log question but I was running out of time, not thinking straight, and could not figure out exactly what I was meant to do with it so I just whizz-wheeled my TAS from CAS, FL and temp.

The Met exam had an upper wind chart for a higher level than the mean temp the question was asking for. This I completely missed. If I had spotted that the mean temp would have been higher than the -20deg I calculated.

In principle the answer fromt he CRP-5 should be right. Always look out for the right appendix, but CAS-TAS relationship should not depend onthe method used for calculation, unless one is inaccurate!

I sat M+B, Perf, Nav, Met and Human Perf

M+B was pretty straightforward. Nav wasnt too bad - have to agree with previous post about the met wind chart - what a - my opinion though about that question was that how could we have know it was an ISA atmosphere?

It didnt mention ISA - I am not sure about that question at all.

Any news or info when results are likely to be out - my guess is 2 weeks or so.

Just wanted an insight - so I can put my sore head to rest and sleep for the next 2 weeks or so....
