Failed CPL performance

User 5522 · 2021-09-16T15:28:58Z

I went into the CPL performance exam a few days ago expecting to fly through it, after many practice test successes, but failed. Probably by just a couple of 2 or 3 point questions. Part of me thinks CASA purposefully writes silly and unrealistic questions, just to get another $180 out of us. The thing I was disappointed in was that I had at least 5 questions based on performance charts, that needed answers to the nearest whole number. In all the practice tests etc. I can't remember having to put in exact numbers. The chart type questions were always multiple choice. 2 or 3 of these questions were using the linear chart. :sick: I've booked another exam for next week, but I'm taking in some magnifying spectacles to help with those drawn chart lines. All the 1 pointed questions were handled well, except one, which was a simple ROC @3.2 % question, that I've never gotten wrong. For the life of me I couldn't get the answer they had in the 4 choices. I think the problem was somewhere within the questions addition of density alt, finding TAS and subtracting the 20kt headwind to get GS. Onwards and upwards
