b) 8.68 nm out to a distance of 49.66 nm there after with a 5 deg splay
c) 8 nm out to a distance of 40 nm there after with a 6.5 deg spaly
d) 4.43 nm out to a disatace of 49.66 nm after with a 5 degrees splay..

4.34 is on each side of center making it a total of 8.68nm wide.

you got that right. That's an easy compared to alot of the shit they throw at us.

I'm writting the Saron ATPL exam tomorrow morning and basically going over the aerocourse workbook alot to get a feel for the way they word the questions.

They way I have always done it was to break down the question in a very basic way. What are they asking? Because they really try and mess you up with the wording

Get rid of the obviously wrong answers then reread the question. Make sure you read it all. Don't skip ands/ors. Most people will skip a lot of words when reading, the brain sub(un)conciously fills it the blanks, not always correctly. And don't worry about time, there will be enough if you're prepared! Good luck to both of you! Did you find my error?
