Default Glider knowledge test questions in searchable form

This is where I scrapped the entire glider question set

http://www.exams4pilots.org/

Got 98% on the exam.



The first page of the site says:

Several people are slamming the server with automated queries in
order to extract all the test questions from the site. This is
causing my hosting company to throttle my server, and is adversely
affecting all the users. Please stop it!

I used them for practice exams for Commercial Glider. They kept throwing
in questions that looked like they were from Airplane (powered) exams. I
doubt that the performance and fuel consumption questions had much to do with
gliders.

On the other hand, some of the instrument ones (on VORs) did appear on
the actual test, but I expect that some of the other ones were from the
instrument airplane or the commercial airplane written.

I wrote the site owner, and never got a reply.
