Case # 2 - Question Bank Study - Pass (-age to Failure)!

Ok, at the opposite end of the spectrum (and as mentioned in my previous post), say you answer quite a few questions correctly; enough to pass the exam. When the results emerge, you absolutely erupt! I know, I did!!

Let’s not take into account here how many attempts it took you to get past that illusive Paper I – Regulations. We’re only considering here that you studied primarily from previous exam Questions (Question banks), and on D-Day, came up triumphs.
Obviously, this method of study now becomes your mantra for all other exams you appear in toward the path of becoming an AME. You may even be successful, even wildly so, using this method, to conquer all-and-behold! – Paper 2, Paper 3, & Paper 4 (Type/Specific).
Well, what next? You’ve been flattered to deceive…yourself!

The day arrives that you have to make a go-no go decision for an airliner carrying 400 people across the Atlantic. As charismatic as that may sound, you won’t find answers to make that decision in any book, or manual, or a single ‘support device’. Suddenly, you will find yourself at the centre of making the mother of all decisions you’ve ever made in your life. And everyone around you (the wide eyed technicians and juniors, the hand-on-hip pilot, the clock watching management executive…), will be looking straight at you! And then there will be those, “Now, Wait …wait…let’s just see how he reacts!”, “Will he? Won’t he?”
I think I can guess what will be going through your mind, “Now What?!” If you ever find yourself in that position, here are my two words of encouragement for you, in advance, “Good Luck!”
