Study Tips for 062 Radio Navigation
Know the ILS categories (CAT I, II, IIIA/B/C) and their decision height and RVR requirements — examined every sitting.
Understand NDB errors (night effect, mountain effect, coastal refraction, thunderstorm effect) and when each occurs.
For GNSS, learn the segment architecture (space, control, user) and what RAIM, WAAS, and EGNOS do.
Practice converting ADF relative bearings to QDM/QDR — this is a common calculation trap.
Draw the ILS signal structure including localizer and glideslope beam widths and marker positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the EASA 062 Radio Navigation exam?
The EASA 062 Radio Navigation exam consists of 66 multiple-choice questions. You have 90 minutes to complete the exam, which gives you approximately 1.4 minutes per question.
What is the pass mark for EASA Radio Navigation?
You need to score at least 75% to pass the EASA 062 Radio Navigation exam. That means you need 50 correct answers out of 66 questions. There is no negative marking — unanswered or incorrect questions score zero.
How hard is the EASA Radio Navigation exam?
EASA 062 Radio Navigation is rated as advanced difficulty. This is one of the more challenging ATPL subjects, requiring significant study time and strong conceptual understanding. The key topics to master include Radio wave propagation: ground wave, sky wave, and line of sight, ADF/NDB: principles, errors, and bearing interpretation, VOR: principles, cone of confusion, scalloping, and DVOR.
How should I study for EASA 062 Radio Navigation?
Start with a structured textbook (Bristol Ground School or Oxford ATPL series) covering all 8 main topics. Then move to practice questions to identify weak areas. Know the ILS categories (CAT I, II, IIIA/B/C) and their decision height and RVR requirements — examined every sitting. Aim to complete at least 500 practice questions before sitting the real exam.
