I got my PSTAR results back yesterday! My grade is…92% (four incorrect answers). Sounds high, but don’t forget that a passing grade is 90% :)
I reviewed the exam, and I am mostly satisfied with the mark. One question, though, was a “silly” mistake. Here it is:
Avoiding wake turbulence is:
- the sole responsibility of ATC.
- the responsibility of the pilot, only when advised by ATC of the possibility of wake turbulence.
- a responsibility shared by both the pilot and ATC [Air Traffic Control]
- the sole responsibility of the pilot
I have been told for years how to solve questions like this. Ultimately, everything is the pilot’s responsibility. I used this fact to answer other questions on this exam, but for some reason got this one wrong (I chose C, but the answer was D).
