Damage to ELO1/2 for UK CAA exams
I bought a used copy of the GSPRM in preparation for my ATPL exams. Months later, while practicing with it, I discovered that a previous owner has written on the ELO1/2 chart in pen, which I can't find any way to remove. The writing says "T MOCA FL MEA" - perhaps something to jog their memory in the exam (cheating)?
What should I do about it? I know that the CAA are very strict about these things, and I don't want to be accused of cheating or banned from the exams!
I reckon my options are:
Buying another GSPRM (very expensive)
Buy a replacement ELO1/2 chart (but I can't seem to find any way to order the chart on it's own - at least not the 2017 version used for the exams?)
Tipex/whiteout over the text (would this be considered sufficient for exam purposes?)
cut/tear the affected section from the chart (would this be acceptable? I reckon charts get torn all the time, so I'm leaning towards this being the best option short of a new GSPRM?)
Any thoughts or past expereince much appreciated!
