There is no app. Just an exam...

The IATRA in itself does not grant you any privileges, but meets the knowledge requirement of obtaining a two crew type rating. The application is made along with your type rating. I suggest you keep copies of your exam results since they will speed things up if sent in with the type rating application form.

As the others said, it's just an exam, no application form. Keep a copy of the results from TC, or if you're registered with the General Aviation Online Services site, you can print out your results from there.

Hmmmmm....I think i have to rewrite mine in a few months.......

To get a type rating on a two crew aircraft, to meet the knowledge requirements you have to have one of the following:
- an ATPL
- ATPL exams written within the last 2 years
- IATRA exams written within the last 2 years.
- Completed the Airline Transport Licence Integrated course and written the ATPL exams within the previous 5 years (this method I may not have exactly correct, I am not very familiar with these relatively new integrated programs).

You can compare it to how writing a CPL exam doesn't give you anything in itself. It is a requirement when applying for the CPL, and once applied to along with the flight test and all the other requirements are shown, then you get awarded the CPL. The IATRA is just one step towards getting a type rating on a two-crew aircraft.

People often write the IATRA in advance to applying for a job to show that they already meet that criteria for the type rating. Although the IATRA is not a difficult exam, it saves the employer from potentially hiring an employee and then waiting for them to pass the exam.
