Check out the AeroCourse ATPL workbook.. Lots of challenging questions there. If you're on the West Coast, ProIFR has pretty good exam prep courses, as well. Good luck!

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, B)outer ear, etc. answer is the inner ear
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
1 what stops the prop from going into reverse while flying? A)low pitch stops 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.
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 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.. ?
2 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
3 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.

Just wrote mine a week or so ago. pretty much this is your exam.
Couple questions on critcal point, and % mac.

Percentage mac answer was 28.5

Enjoy. Use the search function... there is tons of help there as well. its a cake walk

Yeah after you've written the INRAT and done a few tests in the aerocourse just give'er its not that tough and it doesn't really cost that much. I think its something like 35bucks

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm curious how often do the change the exams? Are they changed often with questions randomly generated from a large archive?
