My numbers:

If there was a "15 mile offset" question it was probably related to the contingency procedures if you need to get off the NATs. It sounds like it might be a good idea to have a copy of the MNPS on you if you take it. Be familiar with where to find different things if you don't know them. RJ guys won't be able to find those answers in the FARs.

SLOP is also found in the MNPS, but consists of flying route center line or offsetting 1 or 2 miles right. Never left. There isn't anything else you can get out of a question about SLOP that I can think of.

If you're on a SLOP you're required to return back to the original airway (rather that be a random track or a published NAT when they're active) prior to coasting in. Don't know if it's a test question but it is a requirement when discussing it.

Checks, I'm pretty familiar with SLOP and the MNPS. It wasn't route abort, IFE, or weather avoidance. It had to do with overtaking on the NAT. I picked none of the above, but don't know for sure that it was right. Now that I think about it, it was multiple NAT questions not multiple SLOP questions. The other NAT question I remember had to do with radio procedures (sorry, it was a week ago and I might have had a couple drinks prior to my original post).
