IATRA questions

[Elessar_44]

Ok I just got back from my IATRA and ended up passing with a 86%. My test was marked #1 on the big red folder and there's a new 007 edition. Here are some questions to help others study, from what I remember and duplicates from past exams posted (many were the same or similar). The question #s don't mean anything by the way.

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

5) no aircraft should be operated below 10000 feet at what speed

6) what is dynamic hydroplaining

7) a pilot on a VFR flight plan must revise eta if entering the ADIZ when/where?

10) what do vortex generators do?

12) given a NOTAM with an APPROX.. asks when it will expire.. you are given different dates.

15) what type of tx do you need in class C airspace?

16) what does a machmeter do?

17) in beta range, what controls the prop pitch?
18) what stops the prop from going into reverse while flying?
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?

22)given a TAF, asked what the visibility was at 0730.

24)what is EPR.
25) you are on a flight that is 2 hours including a climb of 20 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.

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.

27) question about DME. The greatest difference between ground and slant distance occurs when?

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 dropping.. the best way to avoice turbulence is to?

34) Crititcal point question. Given some info then asked to calculate the time to CP.

36) Calculate true wind velocity. They give you heading in magnetic and track as magnetic. You are given 10 east variation

38) Question about Thunderstorm detection while in cloud w/ precip. Is it harder to detect t-storms?

40) question to move some weight because the a/c is out of balance

41) given an accelerate go chart. find the max allowable take out weight.

42) type II and IV fluids are bad for which types of aircraft?
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? Or something close to this.

And the stuff not already posted:

1. CRM is good because? Answer was it allows input from all crew members, or something like that.
2. An effective captain does, and there was 5 things and you had to pick 3. Answers were like "recognizes reduced effectiveness of crew under stress" and "takes input from all crew members"
4. GPS calculates position how.
5. Question about reading the Jet Stream on an upper level anal chart. What height and what turb was associated with it.
6. When taking medication, what precautions should be taken for flying? answers were like "wait 8 hrs", "wait 12", "read instructions" and "consult doctor". I got it wrong when answering "wait 8 hrs"
7. What happens when precip falls onto a coal soaked wing. I answered that frost forms but thats wrong, I think the answer is it melts the frost already formed.
8. Calculate the true wind direction when you are given Mag heading, track, GS,Variation.
9. When is your True Altitude lower than Indicated. Answers were like "temp is lower than ISA", "temp is higher than ISA", "pressure is the same as ISA"
10. A couple compare TAF to actual METAR reports and say if the system is moving faster / slower than fore casted.
11. If you find yourself strongly disagree with the Capt, how do you approach the situation? Answer was to overcome shyness to question, ask for clarification, and state your viewpoint.
12. What is the floor of the Arctic CA?


Ok that's pretty much all I can remember at the time. If I remember more I'll post em.

[Hornblower]

Ok, I hereby strike my stupid comment, I confused IATRA with INRAT.

My bad.

[Lpsi]

Great to see people filling the forum with help for others.

**If you are from Transport Canada**

I am sorry that you guys will have to think up new un-realistic & un- applicable questions to show us how smart you are. Oh well, See ya later.

[working king]

well i wrote my IATRA today and i passed well .... all the questions in the post are from the exam i think 80% of the exam was from the Q already posted in Elessar_44 posting.. the new ones 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. airborne weather radar ... how does airborn weather radar detech thnderstorm and lightning while you are in cloud ... choices were ... cant due to attenuation, scan above the rain, cant due to precipt between the radome and cloud,

3. who is respobsible for wake turbulence ... i answered atc/pilot its wrong
the right answer is the pilot

4. SAR/SGR Q to find SGR Groundspeed is required but they dont give you winds but wind factor of -50 or -80 << i didnt know what to do -- give is TAS, Flight level, fuel flow .

5. greatest DME error -- high & short

6. clear ice rather than rime ice is most likly to occur in : high catch, large droplets

7. u fly from 30.12 '' to 29.92 '' FL220 .. what would happen if u change the setting to 29.92 after levelling off @ FL220 and u have encoding altimeter ...

8. when is indicated altitude lower then actual: high pressure to low pressure

yea elessar_44 posting is great ... it has pretty much everything ..

[working king]

I THINK I MADE A MISTAKE IN MY OTHER POSTING

Q8 ABOUT TRUE ALTITUDE

INDICATED ALTITUDE IS LOWER THAN ACTUAL : COLD AIR TO WARM AIR ( NOT HIGH TO LOW PRESSURE) ... ITS KINDA WEIRD WHEN U READ THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER -- ANYWAY THE TRICK IS TO READ THE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY, I JUST WROTE MY EXAM AND WANA HELP OTHERS......

1. HOW DOES 'GPS' CALCULATES POSITION ? answers were : calculating bearing and dista from satellities, triangulation method etc .. i answered bearing and distance << its wrong ...

2. conditions causing whiteouts

3. methods to reduce checklist errors

i think i didnt post these topics in my other post ....

Enjoy guys ...

[futboler14]

Hey, I'm getting started to study for the IATRA. I can find the study guide but I'm having trouble finding the time requirments for the IATRA. I called TC but its 3:45 and there closed already (government thing I guess). I have 400 hours, is this enough?

Thank-you

[Grey_Wolf]

First .... you can find some good stuff if you search the forums a little ......

Here's the link to the Study Guide (for those who don't have it)
http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/gener ... 4/menu.htm

As for requirments, as posted before [and sure as heck to be posted in about 3 days or it seems that way ], here there are .... you'll find your answer, just have to dif through a little bit

[Scottyinthesky]

Just wrote the IATRA today. 82% and fine with that. My Questions where
Very similar to some already posted, so I got lucky. Must have been an
older exam - folder read 006 - 02. Anyways, while it is still fresh in
my mind I want to get it posted on here to help others catch a break.
A very special thanks to those of you who have helped. It's good to see
team spirit in this industry. Remember, we the pilots ARE THE INDUSTRY.
No matter what the "help" might try and tell you

Cheers to all and goodluck.

Calculate TAS
GFA question. Lowest ceiling.
Upper winds chart - winnipeg close to ISA?
Class C - maintain a listening watch on ATC
Class B - VFR permitted with clearance from ATC
GPS calculates position - by triangulation
Overlays and Stand Alone - no traditional needed, and traditional can be out of service.
Rime ice formed - small drops and low catch
flying in minus someodd temp - decend and land into 10degrees and dewpoint of 9. - Frost forms where fuel is held in wings (cold soaking)
Calculate Critical Point - no formula provided
Weight and Balance shift question - no formula provided
Maximum MTOW question - have to do chart from 2 ways, and find answer in the middle.
Flying in freezing rain - climb to warmer air above
Type II deice fluids - bad for rotation speeds below 100knots
No pilot shall take off in conditions where blah blah could form - unless the A/C is inspected for contamination
CRM - I forget, but really easy common sense question
3 questions about Jetstream and CAT and what to do.
True Altitude in Mountain conditions, temperature drops sharply - Indicated higher or True Altitude higher question.
Weather radar - return signal is based on water drop size
V2 - take off safety speed
Definition of "Balanced Field Length"
Overshoot in IMC - pilot tempted to lower nose
Calculate SGR

Wake turbulence question - become airborne before the point the jet did, stay above flightpath
Take off performance - use the chart question
3 bar Vasis - upwind and middle bars for +25feet EWH
TAF - visibility at 0730 was 2sm tempo 1sm
ADIZ question - +5min and 20NM
Airspeed limits below 10 000
Vortex generators
worst wing tip vortices configuration
Notam and approx - requires cancelling notam
Machmeter - compares TAS to local speed of sound

[alternate_law]

Has anyone written recently? Are the above questions still representative or has the exam changed significantly?

[jp7500]

Hey guys, wrote IATRA 006-04 on Feb 06/09, i got 86% on the exam and have the following questions to share with you, many that you have seen already and a few new ones too.

1. ADIZ ETA penetration question, answer was +/- 5 NM.
2. Worst wing tip vorticies experianced from heavy slow moving aircraft in the clean configuration.
3. Wake Turbulence after preceding aircraft, become airborne before the point of rotation and stay above there glidepath.
4. Machmeter, compares Indicated airspeed to local speed of sound.
5. Viscous hydroplaning, Low tire pressure and low speeds no standing water.
6. Calculate TAS, i got the question wrong and it was because they give you a temp of -12 and an altitude of 19,000 but there is also mention of a temp rise of +11, this is where they got me so watch this one!!!! I factored in the temp rise and missed this one.
7.Upper winds question.
8.NOTAM, it had APPROX so it requires a cancelling NOTAM.
9.Type 2 and 4 de-icing fluids are bad for aircraft with a VR speed below 100 knots.
10.GPS and Overlay approaches, choose 2 that apply answer was B+C
11.GPS calculates position by triangulation of satellite signals.
12.Weight and balance 28% of MAC is the answer.
13.Weight and balance moving 2 inches answer was 120 lbs.
14. Floor of the Northern control Area? FL 230
15.ETOPS? I chose 60 minutes and got it right.
16.Take off safety speed, VR.
17.The operator in respect of the airplane? Person in possesion of aircraft.
18.Class B Airspace requires ATC clearance from a VFR aircraft.
19.Class C maintain a listening watch is the answer.
20.Mountainous areas? Indicated altitude is higher than actual altitude.
21.High on final with high airspeed, how to slow the airplane down the best? Touch down as soon as possible and use maximum braking.
22.Compressor stall on a jet engine? Caused by excessive angle of attack on the compressor blades.
23.Isotachs spaced closely together on 250 hpa chart you can expect? Sufficient horizontal wind shear for the occurance of CAT.
24.Calculate critical point?
25.Overshoot in IMC? Tempted to lower the nose.
26.When are you most likely to encounter CFIT? When you get below DH or MDA
27.BETA? Power lever and mechanical linkage.
28.Reversing in flight? Fine pitch stop or low pitch stop both are mentioned together, this is the answer.
29.Weather radar? Water droplet size.

I wonder are the critical point and weight shift questions the same from the ATPL exam, which are the same from the Aerocourse workbook. Does anyone remember.

[Walker]

im pretty sure they are, but ill tell you tomorrow!
One more exam and the AAs are done!
WOOT!

[Tim]

for fucks sake people this is one of the easiest exams you'll write in your career and you cant study without cheating? the people that study captured questions are morons and dont deserve the privledges the exam allows. FUCKING STUDY.

Ok there buddy; just how is studying questions cheating? I find it a VERY effective method of ensuring you haven't missed anything. Personally I sit down with a stack of questions, answer them until I hit something I'm unsure about then punch up the cars/aim/whatever until I am able to find the answer, would you like to enlighten the rest of the class as to how you would prefer everyone else to learn?

so your saying if your about to write a very important exam and you had the questions in front of you to review or to atleast get an idea of the kind of questions that are asked you wouldn't loook?

bullshit !

there is a difference between studying SAMPLE questions in a workbook and 'studyin' questions that are word for word from the exam. that is not studying, that is cheating. if you dont think so how about you give me your phone number and we'll conference call tc and ask what they think. if its an important exam youd think you would be willing to put in the work required to pass this important exam.

and in regards to your 'bullshit' comment (because you know me oh so well), you are WRONG. i had access a large file of capured atpl questions. i CHOSE not to CHEAT and instead i studied. I got 90% on both of them. if you arent SMART enough to pass something or arent willing to put in the WORK you dont deserve it. but you did succed in proving my point and making you look like an asshole at the same time.

Ok there buddy; just how is studying questions cheating? I find it a VERY effective method of ensuring you haven't missed anything.

youre right, prior knowledge of the questions does ensure you know the answers to 80 questions (but again, prior knowledge of the questions is called cheating)

would you like to enlighten the rest of the class as to how you would prefer everyone else to learn?

certainly, but first lets remember that there is a difference between learning and cheating, so this may not apply to you.

when i have to study for an exam my first step is to go to the tc website and get the study and reference guide. i then study and reference the aim, cars, publications, aerocourse/cul----s, air command weather manual and IF they happen to be included i will study any sample questions. but again, studying sample questions that they give to you is much different then memorizing questions which you acquired when someone else wrote them down for you.

(I fixed your spelling mistake by the way...)

congrats, your trophy will be awarded by your junior high guidance counsellor.

you realy make it hard to prove a point with crap like that, but ill make one more post. feel free to respond as you will but you will get no more from me. i have a nice little reference that closes the book on it.

i did not say it was easy, i said it was the easiest. none are a cake walk, hence the importance of studying. i also said i studied and got a good mark without cheating...that makes me an idiot? thats a pretty hard argument to win, so whats your reasoning here? i take it you not that bright and cant do well without cheating. not my problem, but dont call ME an idiot cause youve cheated to pass. and just so were super clear here i want to very plainly state our two opinions, correct me if im wrong.

i think it is not ok to copy the answers and post them and it is not ok to study said answers

you think it is ok

with me so far?

heres a little tidbit you might find interesting (although probably not because you seem to have it in your head that cheating is ok...ps how do you cheat in the plane when a critical emergency happens?)

read item 1(b) over and over and over again until you understand all the big words.

i just dont understand how you think you can be right, and why you think im a jackass for pointing out that not only is it cheating its a cars violation. you are wrong. its not my opinion, its a fact. a fact i am aware of and pointed out. does that make me cool? thats not really something i worry about. things i do worry about are knowing what im talking about. you dont, youre just trying very hard to justify cheating. CHEATING.

few points..ITs not cheating if you come across it on the internet forum, i read it just as i read other threads. cheating is stealing the exam or brining in a "cheat sheet" into the exam. and..I call you a Jackass because of the way you said it...you coulda  left it at "study the books not the internet goofs" or something not goin on about how smart you are..btw..do you like the f word? you use it way to offten on the internet. and the only 1 that really supports your theory here is A. and i mean posting some things on the internet is pretty weak ...its like speeding your breaking the law ..but are your really breaking the law?

[alternate_law]

Wow, looks like you owned everyone with that great CARS reference...

Where exactly do you think Aerocourse comes up with their questions? Is it cheating to buy their workbooks since you will find most of them word for word on the TC exam? Is it cheating to attend their seminar and have them spoon feed you answers?

I think its a stretch to say that the free exchange of information here is any different from the service they provide. There is no guarantee you will see any of the questions posted here on your exam, but it sure helps to understand what they are looking for, how they ask questions etc...

As someone else pointed out, if you only look here or in workbooks and don't study the underlying concepts behind the question, you are inviting yourself to get burnt on exam day. TC obviously knows of this site and publications from aerocourse, c***** and many others. Subtle changes to question working can make all the difference and I'm sure they adjust their question database as they see fit.
