Passed the FAA Airman Knowledge Test
I feel a bit like a schlub because I really, honestly thought I did better than a 93%. But then I feel like more of a schlub for complaining about a 93%. So I'll not complain.
If anyone cares, the area of the questions I missed were:
H312 The Pitot-Static and Associated Instruments
I brain-farted on "Maximum Structural Cruising Speed" and was thinking Vne, not Vno (doh!).
H317 Airplane Performance
I have no idea what I could have missed here, unless I followed the wrong line on one of the eye-strain charts. But I KNOW that stuff, so I don't know what I got wrong.
H346 Charting the Course
Again, no clue what I screwed up on because I was really confident in my answers (even double-checked wiz-wheel answers with the computer provided in the test).
I28 Turbulence
Pretty sure this was a question on where severe wind sheer should be expected. Two answers seemed right. I'm guessing I didn't pick the more right one.
So really, I was surprised to get more than one wrong. But a pass is a pass is a pass. One less thing between me and my ticket.
More solo time, cross-countries, and some polish. Yee-haw!
Congrats on getting the written out of the way. Don't worry about the 93%, I complained about a 95% :-).
