IATRA HELP

Post by BillyBob »

Hey, Im having troubles finding information on IATRA requirements and eligibility. Anyone out there that can help??? Is it possible to go f.o. on, say a King Air without having your IATRA??

you will need your IATRA to get a PPC on the king air.
I just wrote mine this week. I've attached a few links that may help.

there will be a few questions from this sample exam writen exactly as it is here. I suggest reading, "when in doubt.... small & large aircraft" to get the answers for this exam, read it once, it's a lot but going through it once will help. I've attached a link to where you can get it, just download the PDF and site there and read it once than do these questions.

I studied from the ., it was okay, on the IATRA they still managed to word things differently and present them in a way that your going to scratch your head, even though you know the answer.

this was also posted a while ago, which was almost 80% of my IATRA test. who ever posted this up originally, i give props to ;)

1) the operator, in respect to an aircraft, is:

A) the person renting the aircraft
B) the leasee
C) person in possession of the aircraft


2) class B airspace lies: between 12500 up to but not including 18000


3) it is recommended not to fly after 24 hours of drinking because the alcohol remains in:

A)the inner ear, <-------answer
B)outer ear, etc.


4) when deicing an airplane, what should be deiced first:
A) the tail,
B) top of fuselage,
C) the surfaces that can be seen from the cockpit


5) no aircraft should be operated below 10000 feet and above 3000 at a speed of: 250 or less


6) what is viscous hydroplaining


7) a pilot on a VFR flight plan must revise eta if entering the ADIZ: +- 5 minutes. what does “R25/4000” mean


9) after taking off behind a heavy how do you avoid wake turbulence the most:
plan to rotate before the heavy’s rotation, and stay above flight path


10) what do vortex generators do?
Answer has to do with boundary layer


11) the worst configuration for wing tip vorticies is a heavy aircraft:
low, slow, and clean


12) given a NOTAM with an APPROX.. asks when it will expire.. you are given different dates. It requires a canceling notam


13) which is true about class C airspace:
must maintain a listening watch on appropriate ATC unit.


14) going from YVR-YUL and winds veer from the South west to the north west. What is true about your true altitude as you
near montreal.. higher? Lower?


15) in an overshoot situation in IMC, what is the tenendency to do:
lower the nose


16) what does a machmeter do?
Compares your true airspeed to the local speed of sound


17) in beta range, what controls the prop pitch?
The power lever through mechanical linkage


18) what stops the prop from going into reverse while flying?
A)low pitch stops <-------Answer
B) high pitch stops etc..


19) given a map of a trip to Halifax from another small place. You encounter freezing rain while flying at 4000 feet…
what do you do?
Climb into warmer air aloft.


20) given the upper winds chart, asked if the temperature in Winnipeg was close to ISA or not. It was 1 degree above ISA.


21) given the 700-400 mb chart, there were some fronts on the chart, asked what altitude the fronts were at.
They were surface fronts because they were filled in black.


22)given a TAF, asked what the visibility was at 0730..
the answer was 2SM with a tempo of 1SM


23) rime ice:
has a low catch rate and small droplets


24)what is EPR.
pressure between compressor total discharge and turbine total pressure discharge

25) you are on a flight that is 3 hours and 4 minutes including a climb of 18 minutes. You are given fuel burns for a climb,
cruise, and a hold. You are night VFR. Asks you to calculate the total fuel required. Have to remember the 45 minutes at
night at normal cruise. holding fuel burn is a red herring


26) FL310 or FL350, you are given TAS and winds as well as a fuel burn per hour. Asked to calculate the SGR or SAR.
The answer was .28NM SGR.


27) question about DME. The least difference between ground and slant distance occurs when.. ?



28) The take off safety speed is what? V1, V2, Vr, and something else. answer v2


29) the take off safety speed is based on….. aircraft accelerating to V1, having an engine failure, etc..


30) you are above your threshold crossing speed when you are landing.. the best way to stop the aircraft as soon as possible is to?


31) you are in the jetstream and the temperature is contaant.. the best way to avoice turbulence is to? Climb or descend.


32) when isotachs are closer than 30NM apart, what does this mean?


33) calculate the TAS


34) Crititcal point question. Given some info then asked to calculate the ground speed out.


35) critical point question. Given different info asked to calculate the CP distance


36) Calculate true wind velocity. They give you heading in magnetic and track as magnetic. You are given 14 west variation


37) identify areas where CAT can form


38) what affects wx radar the most?
The answer was drop size


39) with an eye to wheel height of more than 25 feet, you would use the upwind bar on a vasis and??? The middle


40) question to move some weight because the a/c is out of balance


41) given an accelerate go chart. you are given a runway (25) and the winds for the runway which were 290 at 40 .
You have to use the cross wind chart as well to calculate the headwind component, which was around 22 knots.
You are given a temp of 20 degrees, the runway elevation is 1500 feet and the altimeter is 29.92. you are asked to find
the max allowable take off weight. The answer was 11,500


42) type II and IV fluids are bad for which types of aircraft? Those with a rotation speed of 100 knots or less.


43) you are flying along in -20 temperautre.. you land at an airport for a short stop that has a temp of 10 and a dewpoint
of 9. what will occur?
You will get frost on the portion of the wing that overlies the fuel tanks.

CP piont

Is there not an equation to calculate this?

I think is stands for Critical Point and that is where a twin engine after an engine failure either turns around or continue to destination?

I need help finding study material on this.

If you're really concerned about the iatra, just take the atpl aerocourse seminar, same questions as the atpl exams, just a more condensed test, only 50 questions. you should pass with no problem.

well i wrote my IATRA today and i passed well .... all the questions in the post are from the exam i think 80% of the exam was from the Q already posted in Elessar_44 posting.. the new ones are

1. how do u go over the checklist when inturpted in the cockpit..... choices were like , silently while other crew member take cares of the intereption, when the checlist is in ur hand, chklist in in its normal position

2. airborne weather radar ... how does airborn weather radar detech thnderstorm and lightning while you are in cloud ... choices were ... cant due to attenuation, scan above the rain, cant due to precipt between the radome and cloud,

3. who is respobsible for wake turbulence ... i answered atc/pilot its wrong
the right answer is the pilot

4. SAR/SGR Q to find SGR Groundspeed is required but they dont give you winds but wind factor of -50 or -80 << i didnt know what to do -- give is TAS, Flight level, fuel flow .

5. greatest DME error -- high & short

6. clear ice rather than rime ice is most likly to occur in : high catch, large droplets

7. u fly from 30.12 '' to 29.92 '' FL220 .. what would happen if u change the setting to 29.92 after levelling off @ FL220 and u have encoding altimeter ...

8. when is indicated altitude lower then actual: high pressure to low pressure

yea elessar_44 posting is great ... it has pretty much everything ..

I know lots of people flying 100's - 350's that don't have the IATRA but still have a PPC on the aircraft....you only need IATRA if its dual crew

Remember you dont need 100% to pass, dont get so stressed about it all!!

When was the last time anyone used %mac or CP or SGR after they wrote the thing anyways?
(piss poor attitude i know!!!)

Now when you go to do your PPC, study the shit out of that.

I studied for about 3 hours the night before, I think the pass is %70 and there are only 50 questions. So it's pretty easy.

90,100,200. You don't need IATRA. You don't need an ATPL to be PIC.

300 & 350. You need IATRA or ATPL as co-jo. You need ATPL as PIC.

Interesting to note that the 200 & B100 (but not the A100) require a type rating but you do not need IATRA with your CPL to get that type rating.

This applies to commercial air ops - it would be different for private operators.

I know that those are the hour requirements for the IATRA, but is there a stipulation in reference to sim time?
I've got 235 hours and want to go write my IATRA for a 2 crew rating. I'm trying to figure out if I can do SIM time for the remaining 15 hours, or if I'll have to go out and rent a plane....
