Hi Guys,

Got my exam tomorrow and just wanted some advice on the calculations using the Jeppesen CR-3.
For things such as density height, pressure height etc., is it fine to use the computer to obtain results in the exam, even though they may be out by +/-200.
Or, will I have to calculate them through the correct equations?

Thanks Heaps.

Hi Tom.

In the real world, the flight computers will give you the results close enough for use on a performance chart (for example) but for the [i]theory[/i] exam, I recommend students use the flowchart. After a bit of practice you can get an answer quite quickly and the answer is exact. Good luck tomorrow!

Cheers,

Rich
