BR-ANAC-IAPO study plan

BR-ANAC-IAPO · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Legislation and Regulations (RBAC 135, RBAC 91, and related ANAC norms)

  • Map every RBAC 135 subpart to its operational scope and write a one-line summary of each in your own words

  • Compare RBAC 135 and RBAC 91 requirements for crew duty limits and list at least eight concrete differences

  • Build a glossary of 40 ANAC regulatory terms (Portuguese and English) covering certification, operations, and enforcement

  • Trace the process an operator follows to obtain and maintain an RBAC 135 certificate, from application to surveillance

Your checkpoint

A 3-page annotated subpart map of RBAC 135 plus a 40-term bilingual glossary

Week 2

Legislation and Regulations (RBAC 135, RBAC 91, and related ANAC norms) & Flight Operations and Operational Control

  • Interpret the operational control provisions of RBAC 135 and explain who holds operational control on a given flight

  • Draft a sample operations manual table of contents that satisfies RBAC 135 documentation requirements

  • Identify recordkeeping and retention obligations and build a checklist with retention periods

  • Solve 30 regulation-based practice questions and log every error with the underlying rule cited

Your checkpoint

A one-page operational control responsibility matrix plus an error log with at least 30 entries

Week 3

Flight Operations and Operational Control

  • Sequence the pre-flight through post-flight operational control workflow and assign a responsible party to each step

  • Analyze dispatch, flight release, and in-flight re-release decision points for a domestic and an international scenario

  • Explain fuel, alternate, and weather-minima planning rules and apply them to three worked flight scenarios

  • Construct a table of operational control deviations (mel, deferrals, waivers) and the correct notification path for each

Your checkpoint

Three fully worked flight-planning scenarios with fuel and alternate calculations shown

Week 4

Aircraft Airworthiness and Maintenance Control

  • Map airworthiness requirements to maintenance control responsibilities and list the accountable role for each

  • Explain the MEL approval, use, and repair-category system and apply it to five hypothetical defects

  • Outline a continuing airworthiness program including inspections, AD compliance, and component tracking

  • Distinguish airworthiness directives, service bulletins, and manufacturer recommendations by legal force

Your checkpoint

A five-defect MEL decision worksheet with correct repair categories and dispatch conditions

Week 5

Crew Training, Qualification, and Flight/Duty Time Limits & Dangerous Goods and Security

  • Calculate flight and duty time limits for five crew schedules and flag every exceedance with the governing rule

  • Build a training and qualification matrix covering initial, recurrent, and upgrade requirements for pilots and cabin crew

  • Summarize dangerous goods acceptance, loading, and notification duties for operators and list the nine hazard classes

  • Explain security program elements including screening, access control, and reporting of unlawful interference

Your checkpoint

A five-schedule duty-time calculation sheet plus a completed training qualification matrix

Week 6

Safety Management System (SMS) & Operational Safety and Emergency Procedures

  • Describe the four SMS pillars and give two operational examples of each in an RBAC 135 operator

  • Draft a hazard identification and risk assessment for one realistic operational scenario using a severity-likelihood matrix

  • Sequence emergency procedures for depressurization, fire, and ditching and identify the crew coordination points at each stage

  • Explain accident and incident notification and reporting timelines and the operator's investigation duties

Your checkpoint

A completed risk register entry with a severity-likelihood assessment and mitigation plan

Week 7

Human Factors and Crew Resource Management & Meteorology and Flight Planning

  • Diagnose human factors failure modes (fatigue, situational awareness, communication breakdown) in five incident narratives

  • Apply CRM concepts such as briefing, assertiveness, and workload management to a simulated crew conflict

  • Decode METAR, TAF, and significant weather charts and translate three reports into plain-language operational decisions

  • Plan a flight considering icing, thunderstorm, and wind-shear risk and justify the go/no-go recommendation

Your checkpoint

Three decoded weather reports with written go/no-go decisions and justifications

Week 8

Legislation and Regulations (RBAC 135, RBAC 91, and related ANAC norms) & Flight Operations and Operational Control & Aircraft Airworthiness and Maintenance Control & Crew Training, Qualification, and Flight/Duty Time Limits & Dangerous Goods and Security & Safety Management System (SMS) & Operational Safety and Emergency Procedures & Human Factors and Crew Resource Management & Meteorology and Flight Planning

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams and record domain-level scores for each

  • Re-study every domain scoring below 75 percent and rewrite the missed concepts from memory

  • Consolidate all error logs into a single prioritized review sheet of no more than 60 items

  • Rehearse explanations of the ten highest-risk concepts aloud to confirm retention

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock exams with a consolidated 60-item review sheet and a domain score chart

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 75 percent on a 30-question regulation set and explain operational control without notes

Week 4: Score at least 75 percent on a 40-question mix of domains 1 to 3 and complete the MEL worksheet unaided

Week 6: Score at least 75 percent on a 40-question mix of domains 4 to 7 and produce a defensible risk assessment

Week 8: Score at least 80 percent on both full-length mock exams with no domain below 70 percent
