IATRA with 200TT

Just wondering if doing the IATRA exam is benneficial with only 200 hours. Also, I know with a commercial license (multi endorsed) you can fly up to 12.5 MCGTOW, with the IATRA does that allow you to fly more Regional A/C (SAAB 340,Dash7/8, etc) with only 200 hours? (not that im going to walk into a dash with that, I'm jsut curious to know the benefits of it) Thanks for the info!

The IATRA won't help you until you reach 250 hours, but once written, might separate you from the herds. It's only $35, it's good for 2 years, so why not?

I'd say go write it as well.......it's good for 2 years and only costs $35......you have nothing to lose (except the $35) and you wouldn't want to be passed up in a situation where they needed you to have it right away.

You'd like to fly in a 2 crew enviroment sometime in the next two years right? It could happen, go for it!

Good luck.

Search the threads on here and you will find valuable information on the exam besides that iatra may be the deciding factor no matter what your applying for.

Write the exam. Especially if you atttend Seneca. Jazz is hiring low time guys. Without the IATRA you will be SOL. It allows you to act as a crew member (other than PIC) on a trasport category aircraft. And if you don't know allready the exam is essentially the ATPL with some stuff like the NATS omitted.

Its not just up to 12,500 MGTOW. Its for high performance. There are King Air 200s that need an IATRA. Just write it, for $35 and a few hours of studying it will only help.
