One of the questions concerning airspace around a small airport has to do with
night VFR. The questions does not specify that it is night, but the only
answer that *could* be correct lists night VFR minima, so you are supposed to
surmise that it is night. I find that sly to the point of intellectual
dishonesty - particularly when the test preparation is not held to the same
level of accurate detail as the candidate. For example, they will ask you to
correctly identify VOR, VOR/DME and VORTAC symbols, but other questions will
ask you to measure from a VORTAC that is, in fact, a VOR/DME. the candidate
who knows his stuff will suspect yet another trick, and is likely to get the
question wrong.
