Ground School Exam Questions

I was just practicing air law papers and I got a couple of those questions about the combinations of letters that are not permitted to appear in an aircraft registration. Like PAN and XXX.

Does anybody know if there is a definitive list of these, I have searched all over the place without any luck, so I thought maybe somebody on here might know.

Cheers in advance.

Not sure about a definitive list but the following are not permitted:

SOS
PAN
XXX
TTT

also, any combinations starting with a "Q" implying a "Q" code. 5 letter combinations used in the international code of signals are also not permitted.

Hope this helps,

You could use the Bristol or CATS online Q-Bank (which are printable I believe)or just buy one for £10 from a very popular online auction site.

A paper copy would be over 900 pages - I know - I'm writing one! Just go to ebay!

Ground School Exam Questions

Just wondering how good reseblence does Bristol question bank give you.

I guess that they change some numbers but can the CAA do major changes of a question in the JAA question bank?

Is it ok to just use the question bank for the airlaw with the separation questions or is it possible that there are going to be "traps" set out by the CAA.

[potkettleblack]

Speaking from experience as having used the Bristol database over the past six months I can tell you that they don't change numbers at all. In fact most of the questions were word for word in my last batch of exams which included air law, instruments and airframes and systems. Have the last couple next week so I will let you know if its still a similar theme.

I would have to say for the exams I have sat, 95% of them are identical, the only differences I noted where that the wrong answers to the questions can be different but the right ones are the same, if you get my drift. I sat IFR and VFR comms and all of the questions in my exam where on the question bank.

I don't think you can go that wrong using the BGS question bank.

Sorry for my ignorance guys, but what is the Bristol Question Bank and where can i get my hands on it?

[boogie-nicey]

Try this my friend ....

That should hopefully help, good luck with the exams

A little tip for you as well. The subscription only lasts for 3 months so work backwards from the date when you are going to sit the exams. Don't do like I have done and get overly keen and sign up there and then only to realise later that your subscription runs out a week before a set of exams and have to fork over another £50.

There is nothing like a good conspiracy theory eh? The CAA have known for years that the schools have had old copies of the database all stemming via our Italian and Spanish friends. Nothing has happened.

Now Bristol has used its market position by virtue of putting through so many students each month to develop IMHO a pretty comprehensive database of the current question bank. Again nothing has happened. Perhaps the reason is that the CAA don't have any legal grounds to take an action?

[potkettleblack]

Here's a challenge for you. How many people do you reckon that buy a course actually get around to sitting any or all of the exams. We reckoned 50% at most based purely on gut feel and a bit of anecdotal evidence.

from the question bank...can anyone help me with these questions for Nav and how you work them out?
1) 5hr 20min 20 sec corresponds to a longitude difference of?
2) the constant of a cone of a Lambert conformal conic chart is 0.3955. At what latitude on the chart is earth convergency correctly represented?
3) On a direct mercator projection, at lat 45 North, a certain length represents 70nm. At Lat 30 North the same length represents?

Ground School Exam Questions

I have just started reading notes for my ground school training and i just read up on the SHELL model. One of the questions asks Temperature, humidity and pressure are considered:

Liveware
Environment
Software
Hardware

I said it was environment however the correct answer is software as environment realtes to adapting the environment to the pilot so can someone explain to me why it is software?

thanks

[asuweb]

Answers:

1) There a 4 mins per degree of longitude. Therefore the answer should be around 80degrees, 5 mins

2) Take the inverse sine of the constant of the cone: 23 deg, 18 mins approx.

3) measurment/cos(lat) * cos(new lat) : 70/cos(45) * cos(30) = 85.7NM

Hi guys n' gals, could anybody tell me if the database on BGS is any good for radio nav, Mass and Balance and OPS?

Got the last 7 next week, wish me luck! `

[asuweb]

Good luck mate.... You'll need it!!

Only messing.. I really should be studying too.

Is there anyone else here that finds the CRP5 to be useless for the exams.
I really hate this equipment. I bought the CPR5 and the oxford CRP5 cd but I hate it.

I have not found one question that I can not resolve with my formulas and it is faster and more accurate than the CRP5.

Also when flying in turbulence I prefer to use my calculator instead of fumbling and drawing lines on a CRP5.
