IATRA QUESTIONS

[mickeymouse11]

Going to write my IATRA exam next week, looking for some help on what type of questions they got on the exam? I did a search on IATRA and got some old information, has the exam changed at all?

[2R]

I have all the answers for the exam $50











The correct answers $100

[Wacko]

I'll take 2

[mickeymouse11]

ok send them to me

[square]

There's stuff on duty times, turbines, jets, thrust reversers, wx radar, w+b, critical point, CAS to TAS, hydroplaning, white-out, TORA/TODA/overrun runway definitions, GPS, GPS approaches..

basically everything in the IATRA study and reference guide.

Hey dudes. More questions from the IATRA. Make sure you study. It is not a cakewalk like everyone here says. You do have to know your shit if you wanna pass. A couple of my other colleagues took theirs as well, and cited very different questions compared to my own exam or the other questions posted on this forum.

These questions were from May 2008:

1) DEFINE V2 (I put min speed an airplane can have an engine failure and continue the take-off, which is apparently wrong)

2) DESCRIBE A VOLMET

3) KNOW HOW TO USE WEATHER RADAR

4) KNOW WHERE COLD AIR MOVES AT A STATIONARY FRONT

5) The point where you notice critical engine failue and can stop blah blah blah... V1.
V1 was the answer for this question.

6) PROB FOR ALTERNATE AIRPORT MEANS WHAT?
CAN GO IF REPORTED PROB IS OVER MINIMUMA (no)
CAN GO IF PROB IS UNDER MINIMUMS. (no)
20% BLAH BLAH BLAH---------------------------------ANSWER

7) ON METAR, 5/8 MEANS WHAT?
OVERCAST
BROKEN---------ANSWER

FATIGUE QUESTION.... REALLY EASY. COMMON SENSE WILL GET YOU THE RIGHT ANSWER.

9) ASDA = TORA + STOPWAY

10) ATC CLEARS YOU, JUST WHEN LARGE PLANE OVERSHOOTS
A) WAIT TWO MINUTES
B) INFORM ATC YOU CANNOT GO ----------------ANSWER

11) COMMING IN IFR ON AN APPROACH, YOU OVERSHOOT, AND MAX POWER.... ILLSUION WILL CAUSE YOU TO?
A) LOWER THE NOSE

12) SIGMET SIGNIFIES.....
BAD WEATHER...

13) SGR problem. A bit tricky. They give you a 90kt wind. You need to figure out the headwind to get your groundspeed.
If your using a CPT CALCULATOR CIRLCE, The winds only go as far as 70kts. So youll have to improvise.

14) Which of the following is correct about IFR flight plan:
need enough fuel for enroute, to do an approach and a:
A) Missed approach, fly to alternate and reserve for 45minutes.
B) Missed approach, fly to alternate and reserve for 45minutes at normal cruise speed.
blah blah blah.

15) REVERTED RUBBER HYDRPLANING - definition

16) SEAT BELT QUESTION. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS TRUE.
A) SEATBELTS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES BY THE PASSENGER
B) INFANTS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR SATBELTS
C) THEIR MUST BE AT LEAST ONE PILOT WITH A SEAT BELT ON AT ALL TIMES ---- ANSWER
D) SEATBELTS ARE REQUIRED ON TAKEOFF AND LANDING ONLY.

17) You have a communication failure. ATC will clear the zone for how long?
A) 30 minutes -------------------------------------------------------------------ANSWER
B) 15 minutes
C) 1 hour
D) Will not clear anyone from the zone.

18) What illusion will blowing snow give you?

Good Luck

DEFINE V2
(I put min speed an airplane can have an engine failure and continue the take-off, which is apparently wrong)

You're describing V1, not V2, hence the aviation term "V1 Cut"

Cool ! Isn't it illegal to post questions and answers to the exams? I read that in the CAR's. lol

Just wrote the IATRA today. 82% and fine with that. My Questions where
Very similar to some already posted, so I got lucky. Must have been an
older exam - folder read 006 - 02. Anyways, while it is still fresh in
my mind I want to get it posted on here to help others catch a break.
A very special thanks to those of you who have helped. It's good to see
team spirit in this industry. Remember, we the pilots ARE THE INDUSTRY.
No matter what the "help" might try and tell you

Cheers to all and goodluck.

Calculate TAS
GFA question. Lowest ceiling.
Upper winds chart - winnipeg close to ISA?
Class C - maintain a listening watch on ATC
Class B - VFR permitted with clearance from ATC
GPS calculates position - by triangulation
Overlays and Stand Alone - no traditional needed, and traditional can be out of service.
Rime ice formed - small drops and low catch
flying in minus someodd temp - decend and land into 10degrees and dewpoint of 9. - Frost forms where fuel is held in wings (cold soaking)
Calculate Critical Point - no formula provided
Weight and Balance shift question - no formula provided
Maximum MTOW question - have to do chart from 2 ways, and find answer in the middle.
Flying in freezing rain - climb to warmer air above
Type II deice fluids - bad for rotation speeds below 100knots
No pilot shall take off in conditions where blah blah could form - unless the A/C is inspected for contamination
CRM - I forget, but really easy common sense question
3 questions about Jetstream and CAT and what to do.
True Altitude in Mountain conditions, temperature drops sharply - Indicated higher or True Altitude higher question.
Weather radar - return signal is based on water drop size
V2 - take off safety speed
Definition of "Balanced Field Length"
Overshoot in IMC - pilot tempted to lower nose
Calculate SGR
Controls pitch in BETA - the power lever and mechanical linkage
Prevents Prop reverse in flight - Fine pitch stop
Viscous Hydroplaning
Fuel requirements question - night VFR.(45min) they b-s you with "plus time to hold"
EPR - definition
After accessive alcohol consumption - wait 48hrs
Wake turbulence question - become airborne before the point the jet did, stay above flightpath
Take off performance - use the chart question
3 bar Vasis - upwind and middle bars for +25feet EWH
TAF - visibility at 0730 was 2sm tempo 1sm
ADIZ question - +5min and 20NM
Airspeed limits below 10 000
Vortex generators
worst wing tip vortices configuration
Notam and approx - requires cancelling notam
Machmeter - compares TAS to local speed of sound
