In every pack

The lab

Four exercises a question bank cannot carry: tracking, multitasking, short term memory and a personality questionnaire with a consistency debrief and no score.

The pilot thread

A board for what candidates report from assessments they have actually sat. Everything posted is read before it appears.

Timed on the server

Once a section is open its clock runs whether or not your tab is. Closing it does not buy you time.

ONE QUESTION FROM THE BANK

Judge one before you pay for the other 1059.

You are an experienced airline pilot. Read the situation and choose the response that is most appropriate.

During taxi ATC changes your departure runway. The new one is shorter and your performance figures were computed for the original.

  1. AAccept the new runway and depart on the performance figures you already have.
  2. BAsk for the original runway back and accept the delay.
  3. CStop, tell ATC you need time to recompute, and do not move until the new figures are agreed.the answer
  4. DContinue taxiing slowly while the pilot monitoring recomputes, and hold short until it is done.

Why that one

Performance is the calculation that changes with the runway, and there is no version of it that can be done properly while taxiing toward the holding point.

The others are not wrong in the sense of being unthinkable, and that is the point of this format: you are ranking reasonable actions, not spotting an absurd one. Order them by what they cost if they turn out to be the wrong call. Judging the runway adequate from a feel for the aircraft's weight is substituting an impression for the calculation that exists to replace impressions.

CRM judgement, copied out of the bank unedited. To sit one rather than read one, the free Emirates sample paper ↗ runs on a clock and marks itself, with no account and no card.
