Navigation is the exam where people run out of time. Twenty-five questions in 70 minutes sounds generous until half of them need the flight computer, a chart measurement or a time-zone conversion. Our exam matches that shape and is drawn from 220 questions written to Subject 6 of AC61-3.
Nav is a mix of chart craft and arithmetic, and the numerical questions punish a skipped step. These three are about time, charts and measuring distance; in the full exam expect the flight computer to come out often.
Answer each one and you see what the de-brief shows after a paid exam: the correct option, the reasoning and the syllabus item it came from.

The exact local time of Sunrise and Sunset at any specific location is primarily determined by:
Latitude determines the total length of daylight (seasonality). Longitude determines when the sun crosses the local meridian (local time). Declination determines the sun's seasonal position relative to the equator.
Which specific map projection is most commonly utilized for Visual Navigation Charts (VNCs) in New Zealand?
The Lambert Conformal Conic projection is ideal for mid-latitude VFR navigation because it preserves a near-constant distance scale, and a straight line drawn on it closely approximates a Great Circle route.
When physically measuring a distance on a standard Visual Navigation Chart (VNC), a pilot must strictly use:
Because 1 minute of Latitude equals 1 Nautical Mile everywhere on Earth, the vertical Latitude scale is the only accurate tool for measuring distance. The Longitude scale physically shrinks towards the poles.
For a numerical question you got wrong, the de-brief lays out the working, so you can see whether it was the method, the arithmetic or the units that went wrong. That distinction is the whole game in Nav.
After a paid exam it is emailed to you as well, so it is still there the night before the real sitting.
Q12 Aerodynamically, attempting a takeoff with a significant tailwind component directly causes:
A wing requires airspeed to generate lift. With a tailwind, the aircraft must accelerate to a much higher physical Groundspeed just to reach the required Indicated Airspeed for lift-off, burning up massive amounts of runway.

Every numerical question comes back with the working in the de-brief, so a wrong answer shows you the step you skipped rather than just the right number.
Navigation is the exam that runs out of clock. Fluency with the flight computer and a fixed routine for headings and times matter more here than anywhere else in the PPL.
Our exam is 25 questions in 70 minutes, matched to the Aspeq sitting, with a 70% pass mark.
Yes, and you should practise with the same ones you will take into the exam. Our numerical questions are written to be solved on a circular flight computer or an electronic one.
The questions reference Visual Navigation Charts and NZ aeronautical information as the syllabus requires. Where a question needs a chart measurement it states the values so it can be solved without the chart in front of you.
