I agree. It's an absolutely ridiculous rule. It means that if you go to an aerodrome with no nav aids you can take advantage of the VMC rule, but if...
Good question James 11.7.3.2 refers to an aerodrome 'which is not served by a radio navigation aid'. Some people interpret that as meaning that if a...
AFT LIMIT: You can always use the formula (flow chart) for any problem on the aft limit since the aft limit is fixed. FORWARD LIMIT: You can us...
That's correct. A TTF has a validity of only three hours and is replaced every hour. It's not much use trying to give a probability of variations ov...
I like to stress to classes that pressure height is a measure of pressure - not height. It is the height in ISA where the air has the same PRESSURE a...
I didn't include anything specific about STARS because they are really just the same idea as SIDs. However, you have a good point so I'll consider do...

The extract is up to date. The helicopter air law is almost a carbon copy of the fixed-wing air law except for helicopter landing areas and helicopte...
The good news is that the examiner has given up on interpolations. A question that requires a TAS, for example, will simply give you a TAS to be used...
WOW! That's great news hpound. What a great mark to finish with as well. It's been a pleasure working with you throughout and I'm glad that you can...
There have been changes to the fuel reserves. What used to be called 'flight fuel' is now called 'trip fuel' and it no longer applies to the flight t...
The GPWT chart is so ridiculous as to be operationally useless. I'd like CASA or BOM to give me a demo of how you are supposed to use it to get a sen...
John hits the nail on the head. We get carried away with being arithmetically perfect and ignore the fact that much of the starting data is approxima...
On page 165 of the CPL Performance Book I have demonstrated a mathematical solution for weight to shift and weight to add or subtract. It can't be us...
There's one simple rule concerning the movement of the ADF needle. Providing you hold a constant heading, the ADF needle will always move from the no...
