Any of y'all taken the FAA commercial written recently?
We're having a spell of bad weather here, so I got the ASA commercial test prep book for hangar flying fun. I've got all the flight experience needed for a commercial, minus the specific practical test preparation, so I guess I'll try for that rating for my next BFR. What I see is that the questions are still all full of what I call "Simon says" type problems: absurdly picky gotchas along with impossible to read fuzzy graphs. In one of them the "right" answer is 689 feet ground roll and one of the wrong answers is 716 feet. Now how can anyone read those fuzzy pictures precisely enough to tell the difference? So, for anyone's who's done it lately: do you get a printed, fuzzy book to read the charts from on the actual computer test? How is the test run? It's been quite awhile since I took private and instrument. Things might have changed since then. One more rant: why do they have so many ADF questions? How long has it been since anyone's seen an airplane with a working ADF? I've never flown one. The lazy slugs at the FAA must have written those questions 25 years ago and haven't written any new ones on more modern equipment in a generation. |
