What is QDR or QDS. I haven’t run across those acronyms in 48 years of instrument flying?
Bearing to and from a station. They are household abbreviations here in NL.

Magnetic bearing to a station is QDM. Magnetic bearing from a station is QDR. There is no QDS, AFAIU.

If I’m completely honest having an IR and flying 80 to 100 hrs a year isn’t going to be me I reckon on around 50 max but the alternative is to give up flying so I do want to make this work somehow. But as I first said std home study has failed me. Perhaps I could try Peters method of just hitting the QB alone……
I read the supplied study material a few times for the CBIR. I only did it as a passenger flying commercially, as I had little time to do it at home. Did not spend that many hours on it.
AviationExam fixed the rest. Now I don’t see it as a system where you learn the answers to the questions but you learn the way they are frased and the main topics and there is a clear explanation to the answers. The effective way for me was to use AE to focus the study on the things I had wrong. I can’t remember exactly but there is settings in AE to focus on this and that will rapidly increase your score.
Agreed, Aviation Exam is very usefull.
I learned some Q-codes during my PPL training in 1995. QDR, QDM, QNH and QFE are those that we did learn. Later, in France I learned QFU (runway in use) which is used extensively.
