These threads amaze me....
Why are so many people looking for "shortcuts" on this. Just take the time to prepare. Granted, it is pretty dry stuff, but why not sit down and actually learn where these answers come from. A decent portion of the test comes from air carrier regs (119/121/135), and wouldn't you know it, operating as a PIC under these parts requires the ATP certificate. That is why you are taking the test after all, to get the ATP certificate. This probably means flying is or will be your livelyhood.
But these people are just going to get this test out of the way, then they will buckle down and really learn the material, right? Doesn't seem to be the case. Seems that these are the same individuals who never open a book after a training event is finished until recurrent comes around. Then it's a crisis and they cram. In the mean time, they pass on incorrect information to those that fly with and look to them for guidance. Not because they have bad intentions, necessarily, but because they haven't taken the initiative to know any better.
Nobody can know it all, but why not have some respect for your profession and make an effort to make learning a continuous process. After all, you most likely enjoyed learning about flying when you started this whole process....
