Flightsurgeon created the topic: take off charts

I have been using a website that where one practices some questions ( not the ones from Mr Tait which I have also purchased)
Invariably I get many wrong but the method seems correct as per the answer sheet
I have posted this to the website owner as feedback but I havent a reply
I have downloaded the workbooks
If I may ask several questions,
a. should I get a scaled magnified copy of these sheets eg A4 to A3 to do these questions
b. What does CASA say as an acceptable variation from the result they require if a single digit answer is correct
c. Wouldnt it be easier to have 4 answers of which you pick the most correct
d. In the real world, has anyone designed a program that can electronically calculalte these inputs
Be grateful for the thoughts.

PS I am doing these questions before the Bob Tait questions and then will do the exam
Kind regards
Ravi

Ravi,

Good to see you are hanging in there, despite what must be a fairly high workload in the day job.

I have been using a website

You don't identify the site, nor should you. However, do be aware that not all things on offer are to the same standard.

Invariably I get many wrong but the method seems correct as per the answer sheet

May I suggest that you post a few of the questions and your answers for comment ?

I have posted this to the website owner as feedback but I havent a reply

Refer to my previous comment ....

should I get a scaled magnified copy of these sheets eg A4 to A3 to do these questions

Neither necessary nor appropriate. The aim is to turn out pilots who can do the stuff on the line in an appropriate manner. While many folks view the exams with trepidation, they are not overly difficult if one knows the work and has practised the material. Suggest you run some examples and post to the forum for critique.

What does CASA say as an acceptable variation from the result they require if a single digit answer is correct

Unfortunately, they don't. However, reasonable skill and accuracy will produce an acceptable answer. It is my observation that, particularly for remote learning, simple errors which one would correct immediately in a classroom environment may take a bit more effort to detect and correct. Again, suggest you post some solutions for critique.

Wouldnt it be easier to have 4 answers of which you pick the most correct

Indeed but we don't get to call the shots for the exam questions. In reality, out on the line, you don't have any suggested answers, you just need to be able to get it right .. every time.

In the real world, has anyone designed a program that can electronically calculalte these inputs

Most certainly. The charts are worked up from equations in the first place. If you were only going to fly the one aircraft, you could run regressions on the carpets and there you have the Fleece. However, in practice, that is an ineffective approach. Far better to be able to run the graphs and tables to get a reliably correct answer.

Good man. Looking forward to some discussions on the subject. Rest assured that there will be more than a few other folks who will be very interested in what you come up with.
