Hi Bob, Richard, and John,

Hope you all doing well.

I sat my first attempt for COPA and got 67%. Then I sat my second attempt and got 69%, yes it is really frustrating but I got my 3rd attempt coming up on Thursday 30/01/2025.

My main frustration comes from a 1 mark question that I got wrong in both attempts.

This question in particular has been asked before in a separate threads but mainly asking what is the ASDA? But the question that I got is asking what is the LDA? and I only found 1 person asked this question who wrote exactly like I got in my exam but has not been addressed:

bobtait.com.au/forum/performance/7461-fa...inside-my-exam#15610

So the question is: TORA 1350m, and had an ASDA of 1400m, there was an additional 80m of clearway at the end of the ASDA, with a temporary threshold displaced by 40m at the start of the runway. What is the LDA?

a) 1480m
b) 1400m
c) 1310m
d) 1440m
e) 1350m

In my first attempt, I answered 1350m in which I realised after revision that I did not account for the displaced threshold, I just said oh yep LDA is same as TORA so it is 1350m.

In my second attempt, I answered 1310m and still wrong but still can not figure out why? I chose 1310m because 1350 TORA - 40m displaced threshold = 1310m of TORA which is also LDA.

I look forward for a prompt response to really solve this question :dry:

EDIT: I just realised that I haven't got it wrong second attempt because that point is not shown on my KDR so my answer is right 1310m, must be!

The point in Part 61 MOS is Unit 1.9.6 COPA 2.1.2 (d)

But at least I am sure many would need an answer to this question since it's been asked, if no response I would assume it's correct :) phewww
