Commercial Written NAV
Hi everyone I just did my commercial written today and failed Nav by 4 percent, so theres 2 more weeks and 30 dollars down the drain, im just wondering if Weight and Balance comes under Nav or the Flight operations ?????because according to the Canadian Answer guide it comes under Flight Operations but someone told me its Nav,I would appriciate if anyone else has any info about Nav questions or need to know stuff or advice.Thanks
Pretty sure W&B is under general knowledge (flight ops).
Nav might incorperate weight into a cross country planning exercise, but usually they would just give you the fuel quantity on board and then ask if you have enough for the given conditions. They may also ask you something like, would you have to make an extra stop. ALso reserves are important.
Also what if the winds are stonger then you anticipated etc.....
You're likely to get a find you position type question, using bearings to NDB's or VOR's......This was definately on it actually now that i think about it......so remember to convert to true and relative bearing and all that type of stuff.....
If you have any specific questions you can pm me, i can try to help......

Treat the NAV section of the exam like you're building furniture - measure twice and cut once. It's really easy to make a simple mistake - and you can bet your ass that one of the responses on the test will reflect that simple error. You should be able to tighten up your score enough to pass just by being really careful on that stuff.
Good luck on the rewrite, don't let it get you down, and if you have any other questions regarding specific areas you pooched make sure you post.
