ATP Written W&B/Planning Questions

cimepilot · April 3rd, 2005, 01:08

Do the W&B/Flight Planning questions on the ATP written differ based on the 121 or 135 test? I heard that if you choose the 121 test, only study the 727 questions and for the 135 test, only study the 1900 questions. Any truth to this?

Memorize the answers. Easy.

Nobody has any insight into this?

I told you what to do. Most examples in FAA exams are old and out of date. Much more simple and practical ways of obtaining W & B and performance numbers are used today in the "real world". So, knock yourself out and take 3 hours to complete your ATP written by doing all those long hand archaic calculations. Or, just memorize the answers, get the test done in 28 minuets and score a 98%. As long as you know how to do the calculations and understand them, that's all that matters.

I second that. Most major airlines have load planners and regionals do the calculations way different anyway. Its really easy to memorize them just takes a day or two.

Are you sure it isnt the other way around? If i remember correctly, i had be-1900 questions on my 121 atp written. AllATPs exam prep has you study the 1900 questions, I dont recall studying any 727 questions, but it has been about 6 months since I took the test.

I wouldn't get wrapped up in the W&B questions. You might only get a couple anyway, and thats 2-3 points total.
