There are a whole bunch of useless questions that you just have to
get through. Like the one where you have to pick which aircraft
corresponds to the given CDI indications. Who cares where the
aircraft is. You will no longer be there by the time you blink.


Are you saying that the aircraft moves from one quadrant to the other
in the blink of an eye?




No, what I am saying is, it is more important to turn to the correct
heading than to figure out where you are right now, because by the time you
figure out where you are, you will not be there anymore. The FAA exams
would lead one to think that it is more important to know where you are
now. None of the questions ask 'which heading should the aircraft turn to'.
Instead they dwell on 'where is the aircraft now'.
