Course Description
CPL Aerodynamics (Aeroplane) – CADA Exam Preparation
Exam Overview
The Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) Aerodynamics (Aeroplane) exam (CADA) assesses your understanding of aerodynamic principles based on the Part 61 Manual of Standards (MOS) Schedule 3.
You will be tested through:
- Multiple-choice questions, and
- Whole number entry questions (type a number into a box).
Exam Details
- Time allowed: 1.5 hours (90 minutes)
- Passing mark: 70% minimum
Permitted Materials
You may bring:
- A basic calculator (no scientific calculators).
The invigilator will provide (and collect after the exam):
- Pen
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Eraser
- Scribble pad
Common Areas of Difficulty
Candidates often lose marks in the following areas:
- Spoilers and vortex generators
- Range and endurance flying
- Wing design (anhedral, dihedral, aspect ratio, wash-out)
- Aircraft stability factors
- Flow dynamics (pressure changes with angle of attack)
- Ground effect (impact on take-off and landing performance)
Strong preparation in these topics is essential.
