Exams
Practice Exam 1 – CNAV (Commercial Pilot Licence Navigation)
Full-length mock test with the exact materials permitted in the real CASA exam
1. Exam profile
| Item | Real CNAV | This practice paper |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 1 hr 45 min | 1 hr 45 min |
| Pass mark | 70 % overall | 80 % target (aim higher) |
| Syllabus source | Part 61 MOS, Sch. 3 | Identical |
| Question style | CASA format (multiple-choice, data-driven) | Mirrored |
Recent CASA statistics place the overall CNAV pass-rate at ≈ 72–74 % (all attempts counted). Use this paper to join the first-time-pass group.
2. Permitted references & equipment

| Airservices pack | Jeppesen pack |
|---|---|
| • Part 91 MOS | • Part 91 MOS |
| • AIP Book | • Jeppesen Airway Manual |
| • ERSA (complete) | • AUS PCA |
| • AUS PCA | • Hobart/Launceston VTC |
| • ERC LOW 1/2 and 3/4 (2 charts) | • Brisbane–Sunshine Coast/Gold Coast VTC |
| • Hobart/Launceston VTC | • Sydney WAC |
| • Brisbane–Sunshine Coast/Gold Coast VTC | • Navigation equipment* |
| • Sydney WAC | • A basic calculator |

3. Stationery kit
- Pen
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Eraser
- Scribble pad
Return (or discard) everything at the end—just as you would in the actual exam room.
4. Sitting the practice exam
- Re-create exam conditions. Silence devices, clear your desk of any non-approved items and start a visible 1 h 45 m timer.
- Answer every question in sequence. No skipping ahead to look up solutions.
- Mark immediately using the answer sheet provided.
- Analyse misses. Tag each wrong answer to its knowledge area—fuel planning, latitude/longitude, ROC/ROD, etc.—and schedule revision before attempting Practice Exam 2.
5. Self-assessment scale
| Score | Interpretation | Action |
|---|---|---|
| ≥ 80 % | Confident first-time pass range | Book CNAV; keep brushing weak spots |
| 75–79 % | Solid but tighten gaps | Review every incorrect Q, retest soon |
| 70–74 % | Borderline CASA pass | Intensive study + fresh mock before booking |
| < 70 % | Not ready | Re-learn fundamentals, then sit another practice |
6. Most-missed areas (CASA data)
- Rate-of-climb / rate-of-descent calculations
- Latitude–longitude & position-fix problems
- Fuel planning & reserves
Focus extra practice here if your score dipped.
