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…

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
