IATRA

I'm thinking about writting my IATRA but i'm woundering if it's worth my time? I have just over 1000 H only 50 multi. Just wondering if many companies other than CMA would not look at you unless you had already written?

And before its asked, the reason i don't write my AA's is the way things are going i can't see my self having all requiremnets in the next year, and i just renewed my IFR last month.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If I were you, I would definetly write it. It's only $35, and it's one extra thing to go on the resume. I would highly recommend you use the ATP Aerocourse material- that way, you will be prepared to write the ATP exams as well, and once you feel prepared enough to write the A-exams, you can write them without much studying. This is exactly what I have done; I wrote the IATRA in February (which is good for 2 years), and I plan to write the ATP exams this winter or the following.

Hey C-HRIS

You mentioned that the IATRA is good for 2 years... where did you read that time limit?

That's what I was told when I went to write it. Also, I have heard that from many other people.

It just means you have 2 years to find a job that requires the IATRA; if you don't, you will have to rewrite the exam or write the ATP.

Not a bad deal for $35. Besides even if you don't find employment and use it within 2 years you'll most likely have your ATPL by then anyways.

Bizjet, just wondering how you would plan on getting your ATPL in 2 years if you aren't employed? Did I misread that?

If you have over 1000 hrs...then just go and write your SAMRA and SARON for your ATPL...worth more to prospective employers and you will save yourself having to write one exam. The two ATPL exams supersede the IATRA.

I'm pretty sure all TC written exams are valid for 2 years. I'm illiterate though so I couldn't tell you where I read it... I say gofer it ready to move, it'll never hurt, and it's good mental muscle practice.

Yes I was told by the TC examiner when I wrote my IATRA that I had two years to get a type rating before I would have to re-write the IATRA.

But if I don't get a type rating by the time the IATRA lapses this winter, I'll just go write the SAMRA and SARON exams. I'm at 1200 TT now. I'd hope I'm within two years of the 1500 TT required for the ATPL anyway.
