EASA ATPL Changing Question style

[superflanker]

If this exams are more challenging than the rest of EASA, i hope employers take it into account.

[KayPam]

They take into account theoretical knowledge when it comes to technical interviews.

[superflanker]

I hope they not ask things like how many marking aids should a 1200m runway have.

[Officer Kite]

But that's so relevant ... just like at what point on the LF axis does the manoeuver envelope line cross

[superflanker]

The new exams started last week, waiting for the first one to post feedback...

The new answering methods won't be in till October in the UK. It's a lot of fuss over nothing really, as anyone who can use Windows will pick it up straight away. The content itself won't have changed, except for the addition of new questions.

[superflanker]

I thought that on 14 of this month Air Law and Radio Navigation would use this mehtod.

Will they introduce a lot of new questions suddenly in october, or gradually?

Do you know when will this be implemented in Jerez delegation?

Thanks!

[Officer Kite]

I believe in Jerez it is about to start quite soon if not already, some letter their students were apparently issued with did the rounds stating something to that effect anyway.

The new answering methods (UK) were first asked last week in Radio Nav.

[paco]

That's not what the CAA said.....

[RichardH]

since whenever did the CAA actual do what they say. That's one of the many problems with them.

[paco]

Yeah, you're right - just like reading the newspapers

[superflanker]

Coming back to this, read on another forum that new exams where substantially more difficult. And lots of new questions. This is specially worrying in subjects like Air Law or OPS, where if you don't know by heart the answer, you can not figure it out.
Hope more feedback keeps arriving.

[Officer Kite]

if true then this isn't fair, why should those who passed decades before us be given the license one way then suddenly it's made a hell of a lot more difficult for us just a year later, level playing field?

Change of Questions for ATPL

Hi, Lots of guys in my school have been failing their exams since September as the exam centre in Madrid has updated questions and the question banks are outdated. It seems most of the changes were done in August. Just wondering if anyone know if this going to be a regular occurence or was it just a once off that they updated questions?
