BR-ANAC-AVI case studies
BR-ANAC-AVI · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The ANAC AVI credential is a Brazilian civil aviation licence qualification issued under the oversight of the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC). The abbreviation AVI refers to the pilot licence category for aeroplanes (avião), and candidates typically pursue it as part of the pathway toward a private or commercial aeroplane pilot licence. It suits people training at an approved flight school in Brazil who need to demonstrate theoretical knowledge before or alongside practical flight instruction, as well as foreign licence holders seeking to understand the Brazilian knowledge requirements. The theoretical examination samples the standard ICAO-aligned subject areas: air law and the Brazilian regulatory framework, aircraft general knowledge, flight performance and planning, human performance and limitations, meteorology, navigation, operational procedures, principles of flight, and communications, including radiotelephony phraseology. The BR-ANAC-AVI case studies are 5 cases and about 2,761 words.
