Abbey, FAA questions became available thirty plus years ago under FOIA. That changed recently, and some of the exam questions for lower ratings are no longer publicly available. However, this has yet to reach the ATP exams. Eventually, though, all the test preps will sport "typical" (rather than actual) questions garnered in part, no doubt, by the grilling of recent test-takers. For now, though, all is kosher. :)

I remember a couple of questions on the CAA Air Law test, like what direction is the traffic pattern when there are two orange balls hoisted on the mast, or in case of radio failure, how many flares do you throw out of your aircraft.

Very relevant, lol. :ugh:

Yep, Singapore too. Deploy a red parachute flare is the correct answer. And in Hong Kong, exam question of "what is the correct cost of a log book issues by CAD"

pathetic.

oicur12.again.....dont know what airplanes you fly or intend to fly, but those questions you complained about might be relevant in your future operations...

How exactly will knowing the % performance lost on a light twin help? If you lose an engine you will know about it, knowing the above will not help you, knowing what to do....might save your life!!

With hydroplaning....yea all good to know about it..what are you going to do though? ahhh looks like we are hydroplaning...hmmm is it dynamic or viscous...what speed are..were "900m" we "300m" doing Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Rotorhead, fair enough. But that just makes Sheppard Air's claim all the more unbeliveable:

If "... For now, though, all is kosher"(and by that I assume you mean that all such training organisations have access to all the questions) how can Sheppard Air claim to be the only organisation that won't disappoint? It is symptomatic of so many shallow claims when advertising this stuff. 'Only we can give you ...' or 'We are the best' or 'You won't find this anywhere else'. Ultimately, it's bovine manure, isn't it? :ok:

I used Sheppard Air, got a 95% on the ATP written when I took it Monday, so it works as advertised provided you study how they suggest to study.

"dont know what airplanes you fly or intend to fly, but those questions you complained about might be relevant in your future operations..."

17000 plus of military and airline flying and I have never known or cared about the difference between 2 types of hydroplane and although I understand that an engine out in a twin is a serious loss of performance, when the throttles are at the stops with max EPR and we are at best speed engine out and in balance, knowing a % loss of climb is irrelevant.
