Further information on the CASA PEXO examinations can be found on the CASA website at
www.casa.gov.auNote. Some students seem to expect that they will pass the CASA exam if they simply learn
the answers to every question in the book. Please be careful not to fall for that one! While
the questions presented in this book should give you an idea of what to expect in the CASA
exam, it is essential that you read the text carefully and make your own notes as you go.
Simply learning the answers to specific questions will leave you disappointed with your
result and will be of little use in your career as a commercial pilot.
