Approach plate questions on FAA commerical written?

[bigulua]

Just a general question about the FAA commerical written: does the test bank for this test include questions that require you to interpret/read instrument charts and approach plates (like those used for the instrument written)? I have a study guide and it didn't include any of these questions, but I've taken a few practice tests online and have encountered instrument chart related questions. Not sure if the guide is wrong, or the site I'm using is mixed up. Just want to be prepared for my test! Thanks!

I don't remember seeing any approach plate questions on the Commercial written.

I'd say no.....

Ok, thanks for the replies. Yeah, I thought something was fishy when those questions came up!

no, the answer is yes... in the ASA prep guide there is a chapter for instrument questions... while you do not need an instrument rating for a commercial license, there may be questions on the written on approach plates.. there are only a handful of questions, and they are pretty basic, but they are there.

Ok, thanks for the heads up, mayday and KA. I've passed the instrument test already, so reading the charts shouldn't be a problem. Good to know that they're fair game, though.
