Common MistakesLack of narrative just cut and paste work for all chapters.Lack of info for proposed runway in use for landing at

destination airport.Lack of fuel consumption for aircraft.Lack of heading (degree), tracks, height and speed

information for each sector for Chapter 3.Chapter 4, no justification for V1 and V2 and fuel carried

on board. No mention about passengers or cargo to be carried on board for Chapter 4. Also lack of radio frequencies for sectors.

En-route weather not clear. Some weather were for ground weather only. Should be for the flight level weather the whole route. Weather for destination airport missing.

Common MistakesLack of route wind direction explanation - resulting in poor

ground speed calculation;.Wrong flight level selection - didn't comply the IFR

semicircular rule;Wrong ETA calculation;Lack of CG calculation and knowledge;Poor routing planning and explanation - way point

heading, distance, time, ground speed, ATC Call signs, ATC radios, Nav Aids call signs and frequency;

Lack of V1 and V2 rationales;Not able to explain how to measure distance and heading

of way points other than saying the computer says so.Aircraft weight not converted to metric tonne.

Common Mistakesknowledge of aircraft instruments and

equipment carried on board poor;Knowledge on wind condition on flight route

poor;Confusion between "Dry Operating Weight"

and "Zero Fuel Weight" Aircraft fuel consumption put in many format;

- it should be "tonne per hour".Knowledge on normal cruising speed poor;Knowledge on how flight time is derived poor.
