ATP written
For those who have recently taken the 121 ATP written (within the past year), how many questions were you asked on IFR flight planning ETE's and fuel burn.
Also, can one get asked questions about all aircraft types in regards to weight and balance and performance calculations; could I get a BE1900 question on the 121 version?

Well, I took mine in NOV. I made sure to take it before the new aerodynamics performence data was put in
. I got a total of maybe 12 questions along that criteria. It was something like the 727 flight for fuel burn, ETE, then the performence data for the 727. As far as the taking the 121 ATP written w/o Be1900 questions, I have been told no they will not be included along with 135 regs, and the IFR flights for the light aircraft. However, I have a friend that took and had the BE 1900 questions. His was the 121 version too. Though I had none in mine.

Does it matter if you take the 121 vs 135? I've been told by two people that it doesn't, and on the paper after you take the test, no where on it does it say what test you took. Is that true?

I took the 135 test, because I flew (and fly) 135. I can't remember if there was any indication on the test results or not. There is certianly no indication of it on the certificate.
IMHO--Take the test with the flying you intend to be doing in mind. If you should change later, it shouldn't be a problem. You will be looking at regs at regular intervals anyway, whether they turn out to be 121 or 135.

It doesn't matter at all which one you take. It is just meant to make it easier and more applicable to whatever flying the person is doing. It would be rediculous if someone who was flying 121 had to go learn 135 regs to get their ATP. At the same time, if you are flying 135, you wouldn't want to have to learn 121 regs to get your ATP. For those who do neither, just choose either the one you want to ultimately do or the one that is easiest to you. When you take the practical, they don't care which written you took.
