The CRP-5 is an excellent tool. If you know it like the back of your hand, it will save you time.

Formulas are all very well, if you have the time to remember them, and yes, they are probably more accurate, however that level of accuracy isn't really required.

Also, I find using the CRP-5 with one hand easier than using a calculator with one hand.

If you find formulas quicker, then use them, personally, I prefer the CRP-5.

Just one advice Delta Uniform. You probly know this but it makes the questions much easier.

When calulating questions regarding time and degrees there is a function on basic calculators which makes life easier.

I have a casio fx-82MS and on the keypad it has the sign (,)

So when I calculate the first question I just type the following.

5,20,20,/0,4 and you get 80,5,0

It seems your notes are wrong.

Enviroment is the answer.

I will let you know after this week when hopefully I have these pesky exams done and dusted. In my last sitting a couple of months ago they were superb. Did MET, instruments and airframes and systems and had no complaints.

Small M and B Q

Would appreciate guidance with the below, which I hope has response (b) as a typo.

Q: Max allowed take off mass limit 37200kg
Dry operating mass 21600kg
Take off fuel 8500kg
Pax on board: male 33 (@85kg), female 32 (@85kg), children 5 (@32kg),
Baggages: 880kg

The max cargo that may be loaded is
a) 901
b) 585
c) 1098
d) 1105

Thank you in advance for your help.

Current T/L = Baggage + Mass of Pax
= 880 + 2805 + 2720 + 160
= 6565 kg

Current T/O Mass = DOM + T/L + Fuel
= 21600 + 6565 + 8500
= 36665 kg


Max Cargo Load = Max T/O Mass - Current T/O Mass
= 37200 - 36665
= 535 kg.


I would say it is certainaly a typo.

Sorry folks, finger trouble, got me pax and children masses wrong:

Q: Max allowed take off mass limit 37200kg

It's not a typo, answer B is correct.

Current T/L = Baggage + Mass of Pax
= 880 + 2772 + 2688 + 175
= 6515 kg

Current T/O Mass = DOM + T/L + Fuel
= 21600 + 6515 + 8500
= 36615 kg


Max Cargo Load = Max T/O Mass - Current T/O Mass
= 37200 - 36615
= 585 kg.


Hope this helps,

ave not taken the air law exam, so cant comment on that.
But judging by todays instruents exam and the others ive taken so far, the CAA questions are exactly the same as bristol, almost word for word.
Makes you wonder how the people at bristol got hold of em?
Ud think the CAA would wise up to it, as it does somewhat make a farce of the whole exam system, not that im complaining!

How do you "search" the database? I have spoken with mates who would just click on the mock exam button and do the practice tests. Unfortunately this runs the risk that you will miss some of the questions as they are generated randomly.

It isn't made all that clear on the website but under the search function you have different ways of working your way through the database. The first is to just do all questions from start to finish as a mock exam (say 600 odd for POF, 900 in MET etc). The 2nd and a much better way if you don't want to be sat at the pc all day is to tell the programme to give you a batch of questions. For example you can tell it give you numbers 1 to 100 say and then on your next visit do 101-200 etc. My approach was to do it this way and type into a word document any questions that I struggled with along with the question ID number. Then after a few weeks I would go through all the problem childs as a final refresher by searching just on those particular questions with their associated ID number.

What is correct?????????

During a take-off into IMC conditions with low ceiling the pilot should
contact departure control:

Bristol bank says: "After take-off".

Italian bank: "When advised byTower".

My personal experience is "When advised byTower" but which answere does the JAA folks want?

I would take the Italian feedback with a pinch of salt. A number of the answers are wrong and a number of the questions within that feedback have been appealed over the years and subsequently removed from the database.
