thanks for the prompt reply, you've explained exactly what i was looking for. I only bought my book from you online recently so im suprised you have an even newer one! lol. I'll let you know how i go tomorrow.

Thanks again!

Hey guys, just a quick note to let you know that i got 85 in MET yesterday. Pretty happy with it.

Thanks again for all your help!

Way to go Rossy! Congratulations!

That's great news rossy. You can be rightly proud of that mark, especially for home study.

Probably a silly question but....
If I arrive at either 0730, 1033, 1130 or 1630 what QNH / TEMPs should I use?
These times are perfectly spaced between the + 1.5 hour bands.

Thanks in advance Ian

Hi Ian,

Personally, I would use the last known QNH. If you arrived at exactly 1330, you would still be using 1016. And since you have just arrived, ie. on the ground, whether you scaled it back to 1015 or not is your choice

Sounds good.

I just had a suspicion CASA might ask me a similar question in the MET exam.

Many Thanks

Hi Ian,

At risk of annoying Ellzy I'd be more likely to go for the new QNH/Temps rather than the old ones. Arrival is usually defined as meaning arrival overhead the aerodrome. It would therefore not mean you have already landed. Bob and I had a chat about and he's going to see if there's any references for clarification but it would seem logical (to us, anyway) that you would use the newly valid QNH and not the old one that is about to expire.

If we find something to clarify this a bit further we'll let you know.

Cheers,

Rich

Annoy away Rich! Forgot about that little 'overhead' thing.. Thanks for clarifying

Thanks for the Replys.

Arrival sounds good.

Either that or "someone" has gone to great lenghts to produce a system (HH, HH+3 etc..etc) that doesn't seem to work mathematically.
