Unanswered IATRA Questions

[RonSmell]

Hey
Im studying for the IATRA now and have been looking through all the submitted sample questions but there are a few that I dont see a clear answer for. If anyone can remember these questions from their exam and can please help me out, here they 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. you are in the jetstream and the temperature is contaant.. the best way to avoice turbulence is to? Climb or descend.

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

Thanks in advance

Okay so given a day ive figured out most of that. But im still wondering about question 1 with the checklist...

unless its changed i think the answer is the "when the checklist is in your hand" option. It has to do with a study that found you remember your place on a checklist better if its in your hand. Very obscure reference for it, maybe one of the human factors transport Canada manuals?

Start the check list over again from the beginning of the appropriate section.

The IATRA is a fricken weird exam. It's very, very easy in most respects, but with a few odd questions from a really broad base thrown in. A reasonable pilot could probably get 70 without studying at all, but that's cutting it close... and getting 90 or above involves literally 10x more work. It's an oddly aggressive grading curve. Makes the A's easier if you really understand the answers. Also helps that ALL THE FRICKEN ANSWERS ARE ON AVCANADA!
Good luck, you'll be fine. That being said, with more studying I found the SARON easier and also got a higher mark.. only 4 questions wrong- I think it's a software error because I'm actually borderline retarded.

As for the above, what do you thing are the most common sense and safety oriented answers? Those are usually right.

awesome thanks for the help! I think I am taking this exam a little too seriously, but I do have a tonne of time to study so Im using it. I dont even have the options for that question so it could very well be common sense. If anyone else has some questions that they havent seen on avcanada im open to hear em! I think Ive seen everything the site has to offer so far...

Thanks again

Found a reference for you.

Subject of "checklists" from the Human Factors for Aviation- Advanced Handbook (old edition) page 26:

"... Researchers recommend that pilots not put the checklist back in its normal place during an interruption. You are less likely to omit or overlook an item if you keep the checklist in your hand or set it down in a conspicuous place."
