Before I start - Echo fuel data?

Hello and thank you for reading.
I've just ponied up for the 4 practice exams, and before I start exam 1, I printed out the first 24 pages of the workbook, which does not, as far as I can tell, have Echo fuel burn rates for various power settings and taxi and holding fuel requirements, nor does it seem to have charts of TAS vs %MCP at various temperatures etc. Is that supplied in the exam as part of the questions or do I need to either remember them all (really?!) or is it later in the workbook somewhere I missed, amongst all the helecopter and nav stuff?

No, there is no information on fuel flows at various power settings or TAS tables in the CASA Exam booklet. I included that in the Performance Supplement for the course. However the good news is that the exam questions will give you a fuel flow and TAS in the question text, so you do not have to go looking for that information.
The reason I gave the fuel flow and TAS tables in the course Supplement was to make the questions more realistic and more like what you would need to do in the real world. In this regard, the exam questions are easier than the ones you encountered during the course.

Thank you Bob, that's good to know! How about things like the max x-wind component for landing etc? In your performance textbook, one of the CPL practice questions (coonabarabran!) has a x-wind limit as part of it, but that's not listed in the workbook either - would that be provided in the exam question?
