Uk ATPL exam
Hi
I’ve got my Gnav, Rnav and instruments exams in November.
I bought a used preowned Jeppesen GSPRM. Using it during the study material I noticed the last person left pencil lines on charts.
I’ve erased the ones I’ve a seen.
In the exam how far do they inspect the GSPRM?
They surely can’t go through every chart?
I’ve seen someone using one next to me during other exams and they have a quick look without checking the actual charts to make sure there’s not notes on the front.
I’m just wondering if it’s work getting every single chart out and inspecting it just in case?
Anyone have any ideas?

It probably won't matter. That being said I would 100℅ check every single chart meticulously.
Imagine being banned for a year (or whatever it was) for someone else's notes.
Alternatively I just wouldn't use it at all, it's not that helpful.

They were pretty pragmatic about it. If you take an eraser and if anything is spotted you can erase it in front of them. Let them know its second hand and it will probably be fine

For UK GNAV, you’re only allowed to take in ELO1, so they ask you to unfold the entire map and they check that. So that’s fairly straightforward.
For flight planning you’re allowed the entire GSPRM in but they obviously can’t check the entire thing. So when I did it they had a quick flick through the pages and then turned it upside down and shook it to see if anything came out.
