Hi Guys, I'm just about to sit my cpl air law (helicopter) exam in a week. I've read through pretty much all the legislation - rules and AIP - and the only thing that is missing is doing some practice exams. Waypoints will have some mock exams available in a month or so but that's a bit late for me. Does anyone have some copies of prac exams (and answers if you have them) sitting around? I'd be soooooooo appreciative. Post or a reply or private message if you can help me out? I've been flying for a while overseas and know so well how exams are half about exam technique - and how well prac...

QUOTE (towerguy @ Jan 10 2009, 01:32 AM) I think it would be pretty close to say that if it comes from ATC either written or verbal then its magnetic and if it comes from MET then it's mostly bullsh!t ... er True. Exactly, very good way of summing up the NZ MET system /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> Airways always seems to get it right /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

Also slightly unrelated: there's been much made of the Unrestricted airspace down south, for rockets etc - where's that then? Dawn Aerospace, Kea Aerospace, and a bunch of others out of the new testing area Tawhaki at Kaitorete.

Both. In fact, I'm about to continue writing my "mini bio series" which will focus mainly on the start of my flying career with Air NZ. Amazing!! Looking forward to your bio series hopefully with your photos of planes and cockpits as well as airports Regards, Aharon

Just to be clear this is a (poorly) reproduced email from Grayson Ottoway so he takes all the credit. He is a keen aviation buff that lives in Tauranga. An ex radio jock turned aviation reporter. He does a lot of "This day in aviation" emails. He is also a regular controller and pilot on the Vatsim network. Calls everyone a Lad. If you would like to be added to his email list then let me know and I will forward you his email address.

Yeah Charl it's defo a FOMO thing partly, but also a competitive advantage thing if it's done right..... and we all know its ALL about profit :blink: It is certainly THE current management buzzword, but I'm sure there will be tears before bedtime. Computers are excellent at following precisely a set of instructions, but they cannot 'think', so the old 'garbage in = garbage out' rule still applies. BTW, the distaff side claim that is why computers should be considered male - because they have to be told exactly what to do :lol:

That, and the other MD product, the F-15E. Didn't notice if one came this year... What's the "broken American fighter" he references?
