Well reading the report and seeing that the transcript of the pilot included the phrase "yeah five zero eight ain't got no fuel." we can safely assume that the guy behind the yoke "ain't" curing cancer anytime soon....
Here's the thing I've observed about API studs and these tests - it's good to listen to gouge about what kinds of things are on the tests, bad to listen to gouge on how tough the test is. One guy might be a freak of nature with a photographic memory, doesn't mean it'll be easy for you.
I teach Weather and FR&R, the two "easiest" API tests, yet every class I have at least two failures on both (about the same number as fail Nav, Aero, etc). Quite a few of those failures blew off studying Wx because they were worrying about Aero, and failed FR&R because they were sweating the Nav test.
Pink sheets are all weighted the same. You've got six tests in four weeks. Study your ass off for all of them, and save your pink sheet allowance for the bad days you're bound to have in the VT's.
I had you for Weather and it was easily my favorite API class. One of the marine LTs in our class recorded your exam review and I still have it on my iPod. It's been extremely helpful too, since up here at Vance I have to take weather again under the Air Force system and the failure rate up here is like 25-33% for Weather. I definitely miss the stories from your Hawkeye days, battling thunderstorms and having language barrier showdowns with Karachi Center. By contrast, the weather guy up here showed us videos of himself passing out and spasming during his G-LOC centrifuge training.
Thanks, sir, for making a challenging subject so worth it.
Suck Suck Suck.....slurp!
