Did anybody else do the flight planning exam last tuesday? In class for the last two months doing practise papers etc, i got an average of 90% and never found this paper difficult, infact straight forward. However, the exam last tuesday i found extremely difficult, and there wasnt that many jeps question, which makes life much easier. If i can remember they chucked in 3 fuel log question, No. 9,10, and 11 all worth 3 marks. These question were identical to my gen nav paper. Overall, i though this paper was extremely difficult and found it alot more challenging than all the others. Anybody else feel the same?

Hey,

I agree with you, It was harder than expected. I also didn't sympathise with those log questions and some others as well.I hope I pass the paper.

it was a strange paper, one i think my result could of gone either way...

when do you rekon the results will be out?

[mitch747]

Thank god you both thought so aswell. Yea, it is a paper were it could go either way, pass or fail. I need the pass as that would complete all 14. Fingers crossed.

[mitch747]

Also -results should be at your door step next thursday, 18th that is..

So far they have been delivered after two weeks on a thursday.

[Daniel777]

Good luck to both of you, I also really need this pass, as it was already a retake...fingers crossed

[mitch747]

Thanks buddy - i'm sure you will be fine. I'm more worried about the met exam, think i made some silly mistakes.

[Daniel777]

I also took Met, there were some odd questions there as well...

Exams

Just out of interest were there a lot of people sitting the exams...when I sat them some time back the exam hall was generally pretty full is it still the same?

[mitch747]

Well, i didnt take my exams at gatwick, took them at the met uni in tower hill london. Class wasnt full, but had a few extra people from outside plus our class of only 8.

[Daniel777]

Well I really hope you are right

On some of the exams there were only a few of us(10-12 people) but on some there were quite alot(35-40 I would estimate).

[lpokijuhyt]

Just curious, but what do people actually plan on doing after you pass your exams and training?

[mitch747]

soon as i get my results, and hopefully i passed the last 5 which gives me all 14, i will start my CPL at Stapleford, but first i need another 11 hours to obtain my 150 total, and still need to do my 300nm cross country. Once done that and the CPL, do the IR and MCC and then start looking for jobs....
