INRAT Written Exam Feedback

[JustHappyToBeHere]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a little advice on the INRAT. I have mine coming up soon and am conflicted on which study material to prioritize. I have read the CAP GEN over numerous times and completed the Harv's online ground school. Can anyone comment on the similarity between the Harvs practice exams and the real INRAT?

I also have the Sharper Edge book and may opt to purchase some practice exams as well (dauntless, nizus, etc.). If anybody has any suggestions or feedback it would be muchly appreciated

Thank you kindly in advance

The harv's air practice exams are very similar to the real thing.

Good to know, thank you very much. I was worried the real one may be nothing like the Harv's ones and wish I directed my attention somewhere else

Passed mine last year no problem, used Sharper Edge and CAP Gen for studying.

Not a whole lot of GPS stuff on mine besides the stuff they would obviously ask you about (using GPS approaches for alternate weather minima, satellites for RAIM, etc.). Primary focus seemed to be on IFR departures, airway dimensions, approach ban & DH’s/MDA’s with some alternate minima questions thrown in, as well as interpreting navigational charts. It’s probably one of the easier exams out there

Sharper edge good prep as is IPM.

Topics to expect

Reading TAF and METAR interpret GFA. Where weather systems will be at certain times and if weather is as forcast from TAF.

Conditions to expect in flight based on taf

Icing questions.

Alternate min, you get the table no need to memorize.

Approach bans

Identifying MEA/MOCA on LO chart.

LVOP RVOP

Reading approach plates

Basic VOR/RMI/NDB stuff. Based on indicator where is the aircraft.

Some human factors, inner ear stuff.

Cold weather corrections, you get the table no need to memorize.

Its only 50 questions. I was done in a hour. If you understand sharper edge book and the CAP you'll be fine.
