ANAC RBAC 100 Remote Pilot exam-day guide
ANAC RBAC 100 Remote Pilot · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo ID
Bring the same government-issued photo ID whose details you used at registration; the name must match your registration record. If you are unsure which ID forms the test centre accepts, confirm with the provider before exam day.
Exam appointment confirmation
Have your booking confirmation (printed or on your phone) showing date, time, and location or remote-session link. Save an offline copy in case network access is poor.
Arrival time and location details
Note the exact address, building entrance, parking or transit options, and the check-in time stated in your confirmation. For a remote session, note the platform and login link. Arrival cut-off and late-arrival rules vary, so confirm with the provider.
Remote-session technical requirements
If testing online, confirm the required browser, software, webcam, microphone, and connection speed ahead of time, and run any system check the provider offers. The exact technical rules must be confirmed with the provider.
Permitted reference materials
Ask the provider in advance whether any charts, tables, or reference sheets are supplied on screen or permitted in the room, and whether you may bring your own. Do not assume anything is allowed.
Personal items plan
Plan where your phone, watch, bag, and notes will go. Many centres require them stored away or left outside the room; confirm the provider's policy on personal belongings and on water or medication.
Rest and travel buffer
Plan a calm evening before, a full night's sleep, and arrival with spare time for traffic or check-in queues. Rushing is one of the most common avoidable causes of a poor start.
Language and accommodation needs
If you need extra time, a separate room, or a particular language version, confirm with the provider well before exam day; such arrangements usually cannot be granted on the day.
Review your weak areas, not everything
In the final days, focus on the topics you consistently miss in practice, especially airspace classification, operational limits, and emergency procedures. Broad re-reading is less effective than targeted review.
Know the question format and scoring
Confirm the number of questions, time limit, pass mark, and whether wrong answers are penalised. These details are set by the provider and should be confirmed with the provider rather than assumed.
Backup plan for remote testing
If testing remotely, identify a backup internet connection (mobile hotspot) and a quiet, well-lit room with a clear desk. Confirm the provider's rules on room scans and on what may be on the desk.
Emergency contact and provider phone number
Save the provider's contact number so you can report a delay, illness, or technical failure promptly. Rescheduling and no-show policies vary and must be confirmed with the provider.
Plan the day
Re-read your own summary notes on the highest-risk topics: airspace classes and their requirements, distance and altitude limits, right-of-way and avoidance rules, and emergency and lost-link procedures. Do one timed practice set under exam conditions, then review only the questions you got wrong and write down why each correct answer is right.
Check logistics: confirm the appointment time and address or remote link, plan the route and travel time, and verify that your ID matches your registration name. If anything is unclear about permitted materials, arrival cut-off, or technical requirements, contact the provider now rather than on the day.
Do a second short practice session focused on weak areas only. Stop adding new material after this point; late cramming of unfamiliar content tends to increase anxiety without improving recall.
Prepare everything you will carry: ID, confirmation, and any permitted items. For a remote session, run the system check, update the browser or software, charge devices, and test the webcam and microphone. Confirm the room meets the provider's requirements.
Keep the evening light. A brief review of your one-page summary is fine, but avoid heavy study, alcohol, and late screens. Set two alarms and plan to arrive or log in with a comfortable buffer.
Eat a normal meal and hydrate moderately. Re-read only your one-page summary, focusing on checklists and limits rather than long explanations. Leave early enough that a delay does not become a crisis.
Present your ID and confirmation, follow staff or proctor instructions exactly, and store personal items as directed. If testing remotely, complete any room scan and identity check calmly and ask the proctor if a step is unclear.
Read each question fully and watch for qualifiers such as 'minimum', 'maximum', 'except', and 'most appropriate'. Answer the questions you know first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them. Manage the clock by checking progress at rough quarter points rather than watching it constantly.
Use remaining time to confirm you have answered every question and to revisit flagged items. Change an answer only when you can point to a specific reason the first choice was wrong. Submit according to the provider's instructions and keep any result slip or confirmation you are given.
Rules to check
Bring the government-issued photo ID used at registration, with a name that matches your booking; if you are unsure which documents are accepted, confirm with the provider before the exam.
Follow all instructions from staff and proctors, including those on personal belongings, room scans, and permitted materials. If a rule is unclear, ask before the test begins rather than assuming.
Do not bring or use unauthorised notes, devices, or communication tools during the test. The exact list of prohibited items and the consequences of a breach are set by the provider and must be confirmed with the provider.
Ask in advance about breaks, water, medication, and leaving the room. Break rules differ between in-person and remote testing, so confirm with the provider rather than planning around an assumption.
If a technical failure, illness, or other problem occurs, stop and notify the proctor or provider immediately; do not attempt to fix a remote-session problem silently. Rescheduling and retake policies must be confirmed with the provider.
Treat the pass mark, scoring method, and any penalty for incorrect answers as provider-specific. Confirm these details beforehand so you can decide deliberately whether to guess on unknown questions.
Arrive or log in by the stated check-in time. Late-arrival and no-show rules vary, so confirm with the provider what happens if you are delayed.
Keep the exam content confidential as required by the provider, and do not reproduce or share questions afterwards.
