Thanks guys. Like I said I haven't seen the test yet so the question could be referring to the lateral separation between tracks. That would make more sense to me. I did read about the RNP required in MNPS airspace and I agree that the tracks don't have a defined width, there's just a set tolerance in regards to lateral deviations.
Just trying to prepare for this test if and when the call comes. I heard it's a beast.

NAT Doc 007 8.1.5 states:
and 12.3.1 states:
MNPS was established primarily with the NAT OTS environment in mind. The defining waypoints of OTS tracks are specified by whole degrees of latitude and, using an effective 60 NM lateral separation standard, most adjacent tracks are separated by only one degree of latitude at each ten-degree meridian.
The general concept of these Oceanic in-flight contingency procedures is, whenever operationally feasible, to offset from the assigned route by 15 NM and climb or descend to a level which differs from those normally used by 500 ft if below FL410 or by 1000 ft if above FL410.

just curious, with all the public gouge on what the questions are on the on-line test (I've seen at least two posts with questions in them), and such... has Atlas changed the test and more over, have they upped the required pass score on this test? I'd heard it was 66%, is this still the case?
Anyone have some good links to study materials on the weather and NAT parts? I've found some thru google, but it's very lengthy... seems like there should be some one or two page study guides out there..
thanks and good luck to all..

I took the test a couple of weeks ago and the test has changed in some ways. However, there is no gouge floating around with 100% of the questions. Most I have seen was about 40 questions, and only about 25 of those were on my test. The gouge really didn't help much but did give me an idea of what to study and what areas to have open in the book/google.

Well, about to take the online assessment! I can't tell you how nervous I am!
Read the entire thread, thanks so much for those Atlas guys who took the time to pass on info.
Any last minute advise before I log on? Going to be on a hotel connection and using a Mac computer. Also, is there 3 answers to choose from and are they all close? Or is at least one a "throw away"?
Thanks all and best wishes!

Also, pay attention to detail on units of measurement questions (nm, sm, kts, m, ft, km, etc). Look at NAT stuff (WX avoidance procedures, how far are the tracks apart, etc), SLOP, balanced field length w/wet rwy, METAR, NOTAMS.Good Luck! I never seen 60 mins disappear so fast
