Module 14 - Passage Planning
Common exam and skipper traps
Most weak answers fail in one of three ways: they remember a phrase but not the context, they do the calculation but forget the margin, or they choose the right rule but do not say what the skipper should actually do.
For The Importance of Passage Planning, turn every answer into a complete chain: cue, rule or calculation, check, action, and margin. If one link is missing, the answer is not yet reliable enough for exam confidence or practical planning.
Key points
- Do not treat a single remembered word as the whole answer.
- Do not hide uncertainty; name the extra check or margin.
- Do not let a neat calculation override weather, pressure, traffic, or crew limits.
- Do not use blame language in feedback: explain the first fix and move on.
