JAA ATPL exams CQB15
Hey guys,
Anybody on here taken the ATPL exams using the new CQB15 question bank?
I know not all states are using it, but I know some are.
If so, what did you use for study, and how did you do? Any observations/tips?
Thanks!
======================
Also for anybody reading who has taken the Air Law exam, regardless of question bank, did you use any programs for study? And if so, which, and how similar were they to the exam?

You might want to listen to the "wiseguy".
I did my last set of exams in June last year, I think air law didn't have many database Qs in if I remember correctly.
As always, learn the material and then revise with questions.
You may well appreciate the knowledge later on, especially when you get quizzed on all the separation minima in your airline interview..

Thanks guys.
Yea I looked through the book already. Memorized the question bank as well for the most part.
Air Law is one of those topics that is hard to get an "understanding of" considering it is about 670 pages worth of regulations, facts, and statements that you have to memorize, that you are randomly quizzed on.
pitot-noob - Does anything stick out in your memory from the Air Law exam? I'm planning on sitting 5 subjects this time around, with Air Law being one of them, and I must say studying that one is the cure for insomnia.

Thanks mate. Mostly I have been looking through questions for Air Law, read some of the book, but honestly skipped a few parts, and didnt do the whole thing. No way I could remember all of that so I tried to hit the main parts that seem to come up often in the question banks. I guess we will see. Will still go over the book a bit more before exams in 2 days tho.
I've heard of guys who never even touched the book and passed some of the exams just off the question banks, like humanperformer mentioned, haha. Guess it depends on how lucky you get with the questions. Thanks!

Yo,
Yeh, i'm sure you could pass the exam without opening the book (well, if you're lucky anyway!).
But remember the bigger picture... and why you are learning it.
At my recent interview with an airline I was asked a number of air law questions, and you can't turn around and say "sorry, that wasn't on the database!"
So whilst you can prep again before an interview, IMO it helps to get a foundation knowledge down in your head prior to revising when you get the call.

Or this
or try The JAA Online Question bank , or http://www.aviationexam.com
And there really isn't much different between QBxx and QByy...
Anyhow there's no requirement for the CAA to "upgrade" or follow the version of the central QB.. They can pick any number of questions from it as they see fit totally disregarding versions.
(and since each JAR state use different syllabus revision it would not make sense any other way)

Thanks guys.
After CQB15 being used for a while now in at least my JAA country, it seems there are significant differences in Radio and General Navigation, where the question banks cover only or not even 50% of the questions.
If anybody has any feedback on these two, or other topics from the new QB anything would be much appreciated. Seems there are no examples online of the new question types.

I was part of a group who started to read ATPL after 1 September 2008.
In my country we were the first who was under the new Learning Objectives.
So all the test we wrote for the Swedish CAA was with the new CBQ15.
I had no troubles with Air Law but there were quite a few new questions if you compared it to Bristol. At that time bristol only had Version 1 and 2.
But I found out that a lot of questions from version 1 appeared in the SCAA exam.
When it commes to the other subjects, you can PM me for more details...
