Okay... need some help figuring out these questions on the gouge (maybe rule of thumb used and or source). Some I can figure out with some trig, but no calcs allowed during test.

You are on the XYZ VOR 090° radial at 20 DME. You are instructed to proceed direct to the XYZ VOR 180° radial at 70 DME. The direct, no wind heading is:
a) 185°
b) 190°
c) 195°
d) 200°

You are at airport A located at 33’20”N 108’02”W. You are flying to airport B located at 35’55”N 107’58”W. Approximately how many miles is it from airport A
to airport B?
a) 4
b) 120
c) 155
d) 200

You are on the XYZ 270 radial at 30 DME. You are cleared to fly the 30 DME arc to the 300 radial, and hold. You are flying at .6 Mach and it is 1800z. At what time will you arrive at the holding fix?
a) 1805z
b) 1810z
c) 1815z
d) 1820z

You are on the XYZ VOR 090 radial at 30 DME and you need to fly direct to the 190 radial at 60 DME. What is the no wind heading.
a. 180
b. 190
c. 210
d. 235

You are located at 34’20” N and 108’02 W and 38’50” N and 107’58” W. How many miles is it between coordinates

What causes the loud noise of a jet engine?
a. High speed of compressors
b. Fast moving air being ejected (Guessing it's this one but can't find source)
c. The hot gases mixing with the cooler atmosphere
d. Something Else

If there is another forum dedicated to this stuff, please point me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated! Interviewing Tuesday and these are the last unanswered/non-sourced ques I have.

Funny I went back and looked at my gouge and came up with 1802.5 as well. So has anyone recently had this question because it appears that the choices for a correct answer do not exist. I was thinking of a right triangle in relation to the degree of change so it through me off.

I had that question on my test 2 months ago. All you need to know is that at 30dme, for every mile you will cross 2 radials. (60:1 rule). Check your Mach, convert to nm/min. The answers available are different than the gouge. The question and the answers are very clearly defined on the real test. No sweat.

**A couple of the questions on my test included HW and TW. So when calculating you speed, make sure you take that in consideration**

Of the 60 question, how many questions do you think are the hard ones that take time like this one!

The answer is C.

The real answer is "WTH unable dude, I don't like your attitude, over"

I respect anyone that can cipher like that on a stressful interview knowledge test.

I respect them even more if a week after the test they'll never be able to remember how to do that ever again. ;)

No kidding.. that exactly describes my interview experience.

Walk in knowing all the gouge and formulas... walk out.... "ok, how did I do that? Was I blacked out for the last 3 hours?"
