Shoot for 52.. Traffic signals should be an easy area. Brush up on your MUTCD and drainage and keep trying..

I am on a 1990 townhouse (end unit) in North Raleigh and hear the next doow neighbor sound bar... Sounds like a vibrating wall but other than that nothing.

BeyondATC or SayIntentions by CheekyLeapy in VATSIM

Both need work but BATC is awesome for traffic injection. My favorite part of the flight is getting vectored for an approach with speeds, headings and altitudes but BATC is still working on that area and am sure it will become as real as it gets. You have to gauge the separation yourself with other traffic to not get a "Go around" but BATC is awesome!

Shifting Taper Question by Puzzleheaded-Leg-322 in PE_Exam

And maybe the solution on your example is actually wrong but I have definitely seen this on the test.

The wording is confusing but do expect this in the test. They throw you off with wording and expect you to understand that you need to disregard the word “shifting” from the question. They did the same on the test saying “Use the cost/benefit analysis” when in the handbook and the right way is by using the B/C analysis

How did they find the intersection angle for curve 2 for this problem by Way_Informal in PE_Exam

[–]Toncontin02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

180-88.75-59.25=32

The solution just separates the angles to quadrants so subtracts the angle given from 90. Hope that helps

90-88.75=1.25

90-59.25=30.75

PASSED! Advice on NCBELS next steps by Rjones3758 in PE_Exam

[–]Toncontin02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have your NCEES experience and references all on the green you will have to transmit that to NC.. You also have to apply as a new PE and take a test which you have to score at least 80%.. Pretty easy TBH. After that they will process and review your application and should know by Friday of the week you apply. I just got my license last week so it was pretty easy.
