The quiz was quite confusing. Some of the TAF examples given here did not make sense at all and did not adhere to the ICAO specification. Apart from the theory questions and the questions asked in the build up of writing the TAF, this quiz was not a good quiz. I think it needs to be reviewed.
[Editorial response: All questions were reviewed by a group of experts who agreed that ICAO guidelines were accurately represented. The quiz questions containing TAFs are difficult as they ask the learner to apply their knowledge not simply recall it. One question was not performing appropriately and has been removed.]
