August 22, 200322 yr As it seems... Some of those "faults" are clearly an error in the quiz... like Q31 plus a few others.So, I'll upgrade to at least 56/70 :)Tero PPL(A)
August 22, 200322 yr Commercial Member All in all, a nice test - thanks for pointing it out Mark, and thanks to all who have jumped in with observations and test results. So far, I've got the lowest result.

August 22, 200322 yr 34/70.I didn't even bother guessing on a number of them. Who the heck can remember all that ROFLMAO.CAT3 Approach/go around mumbo jumbo anyhow? I just use my fsnavigator.
August 22, 200322 yr Hey DShutt,Don't be too hard on yourself, considering we all took it "Cold Turkey" any grade is passing! Now if you would have gone through a 3 week ground school on the B767 and that's all you did for 3 weeks was study the B767. Then that grade wouldn't be acceptable!I got a 45/70........ED
August 22, 200322 yr oops, only 41/70 :-[However, I suspect the test software changed some of my answers, because when I was watching the results I was almost certain I had selected different answers for some questions. ;-)Strange (might be a browser problem.)Nicowww.nicokaan.nl
August 22, 200322 yr Hey Mark,Great link, I only managed 35 right and a lot of guesses in there :-)Will have a look at the other tests later.
August 26, 200322 yr OMG 43/70, well it is over 50%.I have also completed the instruments 25/42, and the navigation 25/41,average is 60.79%, not bad for a muppet with no manual, no revision and no pilot licenceChrisBAW976 onlinewww.bavirtual.co.uk
August 27, 200322 yr Commercial Member There are tons of company options, even for the autopilot.There are 767's out there that really surprised me.For example:AP engaging in T/O mode!Yes, most AP's would go into heading hold and V/S but (I believe it is company option #4) there is a setting that will make the AP fly in T/O mode.Or the fact that when the F/D is in APP, both G/S and LOC are the active modes, the AP will engage in V/S and HDG HLD with G/S and LOC armed...So, all in all, no "foreign" * pilot would score 100 %.* by foreign I mean a different airline.Regards,Mark Mark Foti Author of aviaworx - https://www.aviaworx.com
August 28, 200322 yr OH MAN! A whopping 39 out of 70.Excellent post here Mark.On question 2, I am missing something because I always thought you could re-engage the AT by simply flipping the switch back on. It looks like I misunderstood the question, or the answers. I think I had a trick answer for his trick question, but no chance for an appeal.Question 4 also has me scratching my head because I always thought you could not engage the AP during preflight. Perhaps this is because I never tried to.Ouch, question 8 really tripped me up. I guess I need to read the question, Daa.35. Airplane will turn in the direction of turning the HDG SEL knob even if turned more than 180
August 28, 200322 yr Commercial Member "Question 4 also has me scratching my head because I always thought you could not engage the AP during preflight. Perhaps this is because I never tried to"Yeah, PIC won't let you do that. I don't know whether it's an airlne option, but it does work with the 767/757's over here (Lufthansa / Condor)But it's not like the AP would do anything on the ground. Not even V/S or HDG SEL will move the control wheel.Also, deactivating an IRS won't kill the respective AP like in PIC.You can even re-engage an AP with the respective IRS off.Again, airline option :-)"35.

August 29, 200322 yr "On question 2, I am missing something because I always thought you could re-engage the AT by simply flipping the switch back on."Hi, Mike.I read that as meaning that it cannot re-engage automatically (e.g. like in an alpha protection mode). I agree, it was worded badly. The third answer to that question, I assumed, was referring to the fact that the A/P cannot be engaged in all APFD modes in all phases of flight (e.g. TO on the ground)."Question 4 also has me scratching my head because I always thought you could not engage the AP during preflight. Perhaps this is because I never tried to."We engage basic modes on the ground when doing our A/P maintenance checks. I'm surprise to hear that some airline's 767's won't let you do this. Very few desktop sims bother modelling this (too hard). PS1 allows this, but doesn't always give the correct responses. E.g. Engaging FLCH on the ground with an MCP altitude higher than your current altitude will actually push the stick forward rather than pull it back. There must be some core FCC programming to first achieve the MCP selected airspeed. At the gate, with no thrust from the engines, it thinks it will do this by pushing the stick forward (dumb isn't it :-)).As I said previously, the test program was not only badly worded, it seemed to make scoring errors. I wouldn't take low scores too seriously under these circumstances.Cheers.Ian.
