ICAO ELP Japan Exam Report (SP-04 / FC-08) — September 2026 | Real Pilot Experience

Single Picture — Scene:

Picture: SP-04 (Aircraft overran the runway with a tailwind; evacuation in progress)
Airport with patchy snow; the windsock shows a tailwind; snow-capped mountains; ships on the distant sea; the overrun aircraft with the left main tire burst; two fire trucks and one ambulance; slides deployed.

Questions asked:

• Why are there yellow markings?
• Was this a takeoff or a landing?
• If TWR told you to approach with a tailwind, would you always comply?

Sequence Picture — Scene:

Scenario: FC-08 (① Taxiing in heavy rain ② Poor visibility ③ Co-pilot misidentifies the taxiway ④ Sharp turn back onto the correct route)
TWR instructs spot-in via W; heavy rain makes it hard to see ahead; the co-pilot is flustered; the aircraft almost heads toward N, then makes a sharp turn onto W.

Questions asked:

• Are there many taxiways at Naha Airport too?

Notes:

She was flat and her facial expressions didn’t change much. They supported me even though the answers were always inadequate.
