WEEK 21: MOD 2 MOCKS #20

Airline Prep

This week turned out to be a very successful one for me. Having had four days off to prepare we started our mocks with GNAV and RNAV. I thought the layout for these mocks was much better than last time. Rather than cramming them all into three days in a row they were more spread out which gave us more time to revise.

A few of the papers were very difficult and left a lot of us feeling uncertain about whether we'd passed or not, GNAV and PERF in particular. GNAV seemed to have quite a few questions that weren't in the database and that required us to think right back to when we were taught the topic. I hope this was an exam made deliberately more difficult than the real thing.

The exam layout was as such:

WEDNESDAY: GNAV & RNAV
FRIDAY: PERF, MASS&BALANCE, HUMAN PERFORMANCE
MONDAY: FLIGHT PLANNING, OPS

My results were as follows:

GNAV - 81%
RNAV - 78%
PERF - 83%
MASS&BALANCE - 94%
HUMAN PERFORMANCE  - 88%
FLIGHT PLANNING - 88%
OPS - 87%

AVERAGE 85%

My goal was to pass five out of the seven so I didn't have to retake but to my surprise I achieved the goal I set myself for the real exams. Needless to say I was very happy. I just need to repeat the process in a couple of weeks time.

My visa for New Zealand. Very exciting!
