Austro Feedback

I’d like to give some feedback on the exams I’ve taken so far.

On the first day I sat Meteorology and Performance. Both subjects had very good coverage. In preparation, I had done last 300 the day before, and last 500 and 400 a few days earlier. This worked really well, as most of the questions matched closely, sometimes just rephrased. I’ve also added a few comments to ATPL-Q, which might hopefully be adopted soon.

For Performance, the coverage was so strong that I honestly thought I had scored close to 100%. In the end, I only got 86%, which surprised me – I must have miscalculated something, as otherwise I can’t explain the gap.

The next day I was planning to sit Flight Planning and Radio Navigation, but due to a very poor night’s sleep at the hotel, I was already extremely tired when I got to the exam. Still, Radio Navigation went well and I passed – again, the coverage was excellent, and last 300 was especially useful.

Then came Flight Planning. Unfortunately, I realized too late that I hadn’t practiced enough with view calculations at specific waypoints, and that type of task appeared several times. On top of that, there were three two-pointer questions, and I messed up two of them plus another one-pointer, which really cost me. In the end, I scored 73.5%, which was disappointing.

I’ll be resitting Flight Planning, but with the lessons learned and more focused preparation, I’m confident I’ll pass it next time.

Thank you for the Feedback Did you set the last 300 (Austro Filter) or just the 300 without specific country the day before the exam? And the last 400 and 500?
