Is this only for the private pilot rating or does it apply to the

As an aside question, has anyone used exams4pilots.org to prepare for

the commercial glider pilot rating? *I have gone through several

practice tests and noticed that several questions are given that have

nothing to do with glider flying. *As a commercial glider pilot why do

I care about fuel burn, manifold pressure and how the engine works? It

is a convenient free website, but as it relates to preparing for the

commercial glider pilot exam, the website leaves a bit to be desired.



Are you sure you changed the test-type and saved that change? You may

need to re-select the type of exam you want, each time you visit or

with each computer you use to access the site.



And yes, I saw some powered-airplane-type questions on my commercial

glider written exam, back when I took it in 2010. Not sure about

changes in the last 2 years, though.

Took my Commercial Glider knowledge written test a couple of weeks ago and there were quite a number of radio-nav questions in it. The only logic explanation I have for this is that one could fly a Grob G109, Stemme S10, Ximango, HK36, etc. with a glider license yet have a near complete IFR panel. I have yet to find an HSI in a pure glider ;-)
