ANAC IBAV study plan
ANAC IBAV · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Air Law and Regulations (Regulamento Brasileiro da Aviação Civil)
Map the structure of the RBAC (Regulamento Brasileiro da Aviação Civil) and identify which parts govern pilot licensing, aircraft airworthiness, and flight operations
Memorize the categories, classes, and ratings of pilot licences and the privileges and limitations attached to each
State the recency, currency, and medical-validity requirements that keep a licence and its privileges active
Explain the rules on logbooks, records, and required documents carried on board
Your checkpoint
A one-page licence-and-documents reference sheet covering licence types, recency rules, and required on-board documents, self-quizzed to 90 percent accuracy
Air Law and Regulations (Regulamento Brasileiro da Aviação Civil)
Interpret the operational rules on right-of-way, minimum safe altitudes, and cruising levels for VFR and IFR
Apply the rules on fuel and oil reserves, altimeter settings, and speed limits in controlled airspace
Distinguish the classes of airspace and the corresponding pilot, equipment, and clearance requirements
Summarize the notification and reporting duties after an accident or incident
Your checkpoint
A completed 40-question self-made practice set on operational rules, with every missed item rewritten as a corrected rule statement
Aircraft General Knowledge and Principles of Flight
Describe the airframe, flight-control, and landing-gear systems and trace how control inputs reach each surface
Explain the operation of the piston engine, propeller, fuel, lubrication, and ignition systems and their common failure modes
Identify the electrical, hydraulic, pitot-static, and vacuum systems and the instruments each one drives
Interpret the markings, limitations, and abnormal indications on the instrument panel
Your checkpoint
A labelled systems diagram of the training aircraft, drawn from memory, with a 10-item oral quiz answered correctly
Aircraft General Knowledge and Principles of Flight
Derive the four forces in steady flight and explain how they balance in climbs, descents, and turns
Explain how angle of attack, load factor, and stall speed relate, including accelerated and crossed-control stalls
Describe stability about the three axes and the effect of centre of gravity on control and performance
Explain induced and parasite drag, the power curve, and the effect of density altitude on performance
Your checkpoint
A written explanation of the lift, drag, and stall relationships, plus a solved set of 15 numerical problems on load factor and stall speed
Flight Performance and Planning
Compute takeoff and landing distances from tabulated data corrected for pressure altitude, temperature, weight, wind, and runway slope
Calculate weight and balance for a given load and verify the result falls inside the centre-of-gravity envelope
Plan fuel, endurance, and range for a cross-country flight including reserves and contingency
Interpret the aircraft performance charts and identify the assumptions behind each one
Your checkpoint
A complete flight-planning package for a two-leg cross-country flight: weight and balance, fuel plan, and takeoff and landing performance, all checked against limits
Meteorology & Human Performance and Limitations
Decode METAR, TAF, and significant-weather charts and translate them into a go/no-go briefing
Explain the formation of fronts, icing, turbulence, thunderstorms, and low-level wind shear and the hazards each presents
Describe the physiological effects of hypoxia, hyperventilation, spatial disorientation, and fatigue, and the countermeasures for each
Apply the principles of workload management, situational awareness, and decision-making to a described in-flight scenario
Your checkpoint
A weather briefing and human-factors risk assessment for the planned cross-country flight, including a written go/no-go decision with justification
Navigation
Convert between true, magnetic, and compass headings using variation and deviation
Solve dead-reckoning and wind-triangle problems for heading, groundspeed, and time en route
Interpret VFR charts, airspace depictions, and the symbology of navigation aids
Explain the use and limitations of GNSS and ground-based navigation systems for VFR flight
Your checkpoint
A solved navigation log for the planned cross-country flight with headings, times, and fuel burns for each leg, verified against a second method
Operational Procedures and Radiotelephony & Air Law and Regulations (Regulamento Brasileiro da Aviação Civil) & Flight Performance and Planning
Perform standard radiotelephony phraseology for ground, tower, approach, and en-route communications, including readback of clearances
Describe the procedures for pre-flight, taxi, departure, emergency, and lost-communication situations
Revisit the air-law and performance topics that produced the weakest practice-test scores
Complete a timed full-length mock examination under exam conditions
Your checkpoint
A full-length mock exam scored above the pass mark in every domain, with a written remediation list for any domain below 80 percent
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 80 percent on a 40-question air-law practice set and recite the licence recency and document requirements without notes
Week 4: Explain the four forces, the stall relationship, and the effect of density altitude aloud in under five minutes with no reference material
Week 6: Produce a correct weight-and-balance and performance calculation and a defensible go/no-go weather decision for the planned flight
Week 8: Pass a timed full-length mock exam with at least 70 percent overall and no domain below 70 percent
