Couple Jepp Questions

[time builder]

Probably just one of those things interviewers and examiners use to see the applicants depth of knowledge. One who responds 3000 in 10 or above 5000 will look real smart, wheras those of us who refer to the map in the AIM or the MOCAs or MORAs might pass, but won't look as good.
In the examiner's case, I'd imagine he feels he has to get preachy at some point in the exam, otherwise applicant will think he can coast from there.
My CP is like that, Ex-military/FAA, DE on the side. Even our ACP dreads flying with him because he'll nit pick at you to make sure you're always striving to do better, even if you're well above standards.

it's "interview-ology": the study of things you will only need to know in an interview. On the line, this stuff means jack.

ah-hah! I knew my commercial DPE made me memorize the airworthiness and registration certificates for a reason....

Guess ya never know what you're going to need to know in an interview.

Any one know if you can decifer mountainous terrain from non-mountainous terrain on a low altitude enroute chart?

You can determine whether an area is considered as "mountainous terrain" by looking at the GRID MORA on a Jeppesen chart.

GRID MORA's 6,000' or lower indicate an area of non-mountainous terrain and a 1,000' obstacle clearance.

GRID MORA's 7,000' or higher imply mountainous terrain and a 2,000' obstacle clearance.

GRID MORA's below 14,000' are GREEN

GRID MORA's above 14,000' are RED
