Examination (INRAT) - Aeroplane & Helicopter Results
Transport Canada has recently released its findings for the results of
INRAT examination which covers a 12 month period from November 2004 to
November 2005. Its purpose is to inform students and pilots of the
weak areas of knowledge, or where exam topics have shown less than
acceptable results.
Marks below 50% that were scored by examinees on subject
matter are taken from a representative group of completed examinations
across the country. These weak areas included:
Instrument Rating - Aeroplance (INRAT)
General Operating and Flight Rules
- Fuel requirement
- Alternate aerodrome weather minima
- Descent out of controlled airspace
- Procedures to be followed should the primary approach facility or
instruments fail while conducting an approach
Radio Navigation
Instrument Rating - Helicopter (INRAT)
Personnel Licensing and Training
General Operating and Flight Rules
- IFR or VFR flight in Class F airspace
- IFR flight in Class A, B, C, D, E or F airspace
- Airspace dimension and classification
- Fuel requirements
- Seat- and safety-belt requirements
- Alternate aerodrome weather minima
- Standard instrument departure (SID)
- Descent out of controlled airspace
- Missed approach procedure (MAP)
- Class B airspace
- Flight planning - selecting an alternate aerodrome
- IFR departure from an uncontrolled airport
- Approach clearance
- Procedures to be followed should the primary approach facility or
instruments fail while conducting an approach
Air Traffic Services and Radio Procedures
Flight Instruments
- Magnetic compass - errors / turning, acceleration and deceleration
Navigation - General and Flight Planning
- Magnetic heading, magnetic track and ground speed
Radio Navigation
- Weather radar - principles of operation
- Global Positioning System (GPS) - operational requirements,
interpretation, orientation, tracking, intercepting pre-determined
tracks
Meteorology - Theory
- Icing - types and formation
Meteorology - Practical
- Significant weather prognostic
Aircraft Operations
- Effect of changes in torque on pitch and roll - instrument readings
