Hi everyone,
Just want to clear up a question in the book REVISION EXERCISE 5 P.299
Q10 - You are carrying out a DME arrival procedure into PARKES, NSW from overhead Bathurst NDB. Select the statement wich is correct regarding descent on this track-
a) You must reach a altitude of 3000ft by 9 DME PARKES
b) You must not descend below 3500 ft before 7 DME PARKES
c) You cannot descend below route LSALT of 6100 ft until within 25nm of PARKES
d) You must not be above 4000ft at 9 DME PARKES
answer = b
My question is shouldn't c) also be a correct answer?
You are correct. There were indeed two correct answers. I have changed answer (c) to read
"You may descend to 3900ft at any point on the route from Bathurst to Parkes". That makes (c) incorrect.
Hi there, I'm Shyam from Sri Lanka making my final preparations for the IREX, AOSA and AHUF next month. Going through the final work here and came across this question which is now in Revision Exercise 5 as Question 8. The answers (all of them) were off when checking with the latest DAP (15 Jun 2023) where the descent commences at 8.5nm and not at 7 (as the 2019 DAP chart would show).
