So I've got my 9th and final written exam booked for Monday, I'm just wondering if someone could let me know roughly what to expect in terms of format etc.
I'm fairly sure I'm ready for it - I've read the book, been doing **** practice tests - I'm comfortable with the wizz wheel for finding true tracks/GS, W/V, wind components, unit calculations etc etc. I've also done some actual navigation exercises, PLOGs for nav practice flights etc.
I understand that the exam is likely to consist of a real chart and PLOG to be completed - is that likely to be along the lines of "plan a flight from x to y, winds aloft are xxxx" and I have to complete the track, heading, magnetic heading, G/S, TAS, times etc?
The practice tests havent involved any of the more practical elements ofusing an actual chart and a PLOG (they just have questions like "for a track of 120 and TAS of 90kts, WV is 230/20, find the heading and G/S") so unsure what to expect and want to make sure I'm ready.
What should I plan to bring with me? I've been using fine tipped permanent markers on my chart/wizz wheel and nailpolish remover to get it off, should I bring that to the exam too?
Thanks for any pointers, not looking for any answers or examples, just ideas of what to expect
