Hey everyone
I’m getting ready to sit the Human Factors exam for my CPL (CASA), and I was wondering what’s the best website or resource to help me prepare? Also, what should I focus on or do to make sure I’m properly ready for the exam? Any tips or study strategies would be really appreciatedJontyView more comments-
Hey Jack,
Start with the Part 61 MOS Schedule 3 — highlight every Human Factors dot-point. That’s your exact exam syllabus, straight from CASA.
Then check out CASA’s CHUF exam page — they list the most common traps students fall into. Super handy to know what to focus on.
TEM (Threat and Error Management) is a big part of the exam, so make… Read more -
(Oh, this is in addition to a textbook you might be studying!!)

Howdy,
in the process of working through the MOS part 61 aeronautical standards to ensure I am prepared
for the PIRC exam , and not missing some areas
up to section 3.2 seem to be able to relate items to the FAA handbook for information.
At section 3.3 , hit a brick wall, mainly on 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 .
is there some other reference source , difficult…

Hey Grant,
Totally normal to hit a wall at MOS §3.3 — that’s where it shifts from general instructional principles (which the FAA Instructor Handbook covers well) to expectations around lesson planning, syllabus structure, and delivery methods.
A great alternative reference is the New Zealand Flight Instructor Guide — it’s not CASA, but the… Read more -
Excellent thanks Jonty,
still not much info there specifically on 3.3.1 , and 3.3..2?

Good evening all, please be advised that on 20MAR2025 (Thursday) a new AIP came into effect. Please ensure that you update your documents before taking any exams. Here is a summary of the changes. Have a great weekend!
-
Hi Jonty, does this mean we need to purchase the latest AIP, or can we get by with swapping out the changes (which seem to be very small)?

Hi Peter, great question. You can absolutely swap those pages out. So long as you have a subscription from the AIP shop, you should have already received a small number of replacement pages in the mail with instructions on how to swap them out. Otherwise it might be best to get a new AIP with an update subscription.

A question I haven’t seen before asked to calculate how much earlier or later the sun will set between two locations, where one is longitude E11921 and the other E12127. There is an example calculation in the answer:
1. Calculate the longitude difference: 121.27 – 119.21 =2.06 => 2° 6′
2. From that, convert the difference into degrees: 2.1°.
3. And…

Thanks for sharing this question Peter! While it’s unlikely to come up often, it’s an important concept to understand and one that isn’t typically covered well in textbooks. Your approach is correct, and it’s a great example of how small changes in longitude can affect sunset times. Appreciate you bringing this up!

Hi Jonty, I think there are two correct answers in the following question about the passenger safety briefing?
https://app.screencast.com/iYRJLbgl94ImR
I had to pick the body position one (!), but the correct answer according to the test is the one about the life jackets.
However, looking at CASR Part 91 20.06, there is no mention of “body…
-
Hi Peter, You’re right—this is definitely a tricky “most correct” style of question. Let’s revisit CASR 91 MOS para 20.06 carefully:
Body position (brace position) is explicitly mentioned in the briefing items and required on all take-offs:
– (f) how and when to adopt the brace position;
Life jackets or rafts must be briefed only if they’re… Read more

Sorry, just can not understand how a pitot tube leak will lead to an overread.
As the ASI is calculated by Total pressure (measure by pilot tube) – static pressure (measure by static tube).
Assuming a unpressurized airplane, with a reduced figure of total pressure, isn’t the outcome will always be a smaller figure?
-
Hi Ling, that is correct. It should be “Underread”. Here is an extract from Aircraft General Knowledge by ATC (p. 160). Also an interesting stack exchange article here: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/90388/what-would-be-the-asi-readings-incase-of-pitot-leakage. I will update that now 🙂

Sorry, one more. Would be grateful for the discussion.
Drag opposes… in a vector format drag opposes thrust, not lift. Drag + Lift create a total reaction, and Lift induces drag, but they don’t oppose each other.
-
Your statement is 100% correct, and that answer and response is incorrect. Drag always opposes the motion of the object and, in an aircraft, is overcome by thrust. Thank you for posting this 🙂

Similarly I’m not sure about this one. I read the RAAus Flight Operations Manual as 0.02% rather than 0%. I mean, 0 is a better choice, but not the rule?
-
I would agree with you on this one @risswiese 🙂 0.02 is accurate.

Is this correct? is it 760kg now?

Hi @risswiese yes that is correct! The answer should be 760kg, I will update it now 🙂

Hello, hope is everyone doing well. I did this question right on the P-type chart landing exam #2. Only problem is that the correct and incorrect answers arent being shown.
Kind Regards,

Hey Eren, I’ll send you a PM 🙂
