Each contestant will be given identical packets which will include a list of approximately forty (40) questions all of which are concerning one particular hypothetical flight from a given point of departure to one or more points of destination, and return to point of departure. These questions are multiple choice, true-false, or fill-in and are divided into two parts. (1) Preflight planning, which should include questions concerning: FARs, weight and balance, fuel consumption, route planning, weather, and all information required for filing flight plans. (2) En route - this should include questions related to chart interpretation, FARs, weather, fuel consumption, air speed, ground speed, and other items of concern, which could be encountered on an actual flight.
